C'mon we all know this was something AE asked for so he could get thru a tournament faster and not eat up his whole weekend

Microsoft cuts 10,000 jobs

Well there is only one way to say it... Microsoft sucks. They should easily be the biggest and best company in the world, but their management is trash. Sound familiar to another company from the Northwest region?

Any new idea comes out, it does not come from MS. They just copy it badly then abandon it after they throw a bunch of money away.

Which is sad, since I think Satya was starting to get them back on track after years (decades?) of horrific decision making.

One problem is they are too big. No one there understands all of the moving pieces of the company.

Best thing they can do for Relic is provide some cash flow and stay out of their hair on the PC side of things. Let the Xbox port be its own thing they can worry about.

I liked the update from the Tech test. But Relic has burned us so many times with the acting like they care stuff I will not get too excited. The pessimist in me says "Relic saying they will fix the stuff that should have been fixed 3 years ago". But I do see some shades of someone there trying to do some great things with Coh3. If they can just carry the people around them enough to get it done.

Either way I see Coh3 taking over. It is good enough even broken to offer stuff to both Coh1 and Coh2 players. I dont think Relic will be too bad off.

I recommend this video

I watched for like 2 seconds and saw this:


I think there are units on the point somewhere

Who the hell are you? What have you done to Rosbone?
Saying nice things about COH? Imposter!

the thing is, nobody or no majority asked for a faster tick rates.

If anything I think people have indirectly asked for slower tick rates.

One complaint for Coh2 is that the window for light vehicle play is too small. So in some game modes, they are never even considered. Stretching out the game a little would give them more room to be viable.

Maybe Relics thought was making the VPs faster would force you to decide on early power spike with lights over mediums later? If you are far ahead, close out the game with lights early? This would be fine for 1v1s, but bad for 4v4s. Especially since 1v1 players dont actually like to "play" the game. They want a fast chess match and once they think they have won, they get upset it is not over already. 4v4 players want a long slog with much death and carnage.

Maybe that is the answer, different VP times for each game mode: 1v1 (fast) to 4v4 (slow).

It is really hard to say what will happen in 4v4 since we have a new resource system. Maybe 4v4 will not a be myopic fuel charge every game, so, with faster ticks the VPs may become as important as fuel is in Coh2?

Not having to push fuel early would be great. It caused faction imbalances in start times.

EXAMPLE:
OKW would swarm a fuel almost a minute before some soviet builds get there. By then it is too late because the OST MG is setting up.

Having more lower value points could spread the fighting.
