The group with the biggest tendency to be racist and loutish are, in my experience, Russians. Is it racist to point that out?

No they are caucasian (most of them at least).

Word filters are pointless, even for those that are opting in to it. So easy to circumvent. If you change the letters up slightly and you're still putting the intended word in the other persons head, that is all that matters. Its not about how you spell a certain word, its about the thought or context. If I called a Jewish person a *insert curse free racist tirade* that would be much more offensive than calling someone a dick sucking shitface. Ignore user button is needed.

People are always going to complain about squads getting wiped. Whether its 4 volks clumped in cover getting one shotted by a grenade, a 3 man Shrek PG getting one shotted by a Sherman HE round, or a stationary blob getting wrecked by a B-4. One time I was playing DanielD in coh1 and I had a King Tiger one shot a 100% rifle squad. Out of the hundreds or thousands of shots I've had KTs take at infantry in my coh career, this was the only time where a semi clumped squad and direct Tiger hit caused a perfect storm of a insta 6 man unit wipe. NOBODY ever complained about KT being a OP noob squad wipe machine, I was just really lucky. Every now and then in coh1 a Sherman can one shot a Gren squad, usually if it flanks a squad clumped in cover and gets a perfect shot on whatever they were standing behind. Very rare. Sherman is not a OP squad wipe machine. When this type stuff happens multiple times in one game like it does with many units in CoH2 (ISU, KT, Sherman HE, etc) its really frustrating/anti-competitive and it does need to be toned down. But when something like that happens maybe once every 20-50 games, its not an issue. Like I said at the top, even if there was some stupid arbitrary squad-wipe shield (say above 75%) people are still going to flip shit when their 3 man Shrek PG goes down to one shot from a T34 or whatever. Putting in that "feature" or whatever you want to call it is not going to stop complaining about RNG squad wipe luck, its just going to lower the bar on what people consider to be lucky.

If a unit is clumped up and a explosion hits the area at the perfect spot to cause max damage to every unit in the squad, it should die. Some changes need to be made in the game so that it happens far less frequently, but there shouldn't be some quirky exception to the game engine where squads don't die when they should. It just blows my mind that people are saying "tanks should die when they take the necessary damage" but infantry should be some exception to the rule, and they should magically survive stuff that should clearly kill them. That is so contradictory.

Of all the things people complained about in the current CoH1 meta, insta squad wipes is not one of them. Just because it can happen does not mean the game isn't competitive.

With tons of bulletins and commanders however, i dont think esports is an option for coh2.

Bulletins are stupid but they don't really break the game, hell 90% of them make a negligible impact. Commanders/call-ins do need a huge overhaul though, I think starting over from scratch would be easiest tbh with all the commanders that are incredibly shitty and some that have too many abilities in common with other commanders. They need more flair and little to no overlap.

He called me a scrub and ragequit one time I played him (and I said nothing the entire game). Not that I care if some random guy calls me a scrub, but after spending $100 on the DCE and getting completely shafted and then being insulted by one of the developers, who by the way is still trying to make more shit for us to buy is a big slap in the face. Very unprofessional borderline twat'ish behavior.

PS: The ironic part is he was angry I used Tigers because he thought they were OP, well when you cry about getting #rekt by abusive units you are responsible for balancing you look like an incompetent dumbass.
