Thread: MG42 arc14 Aug 2013, 11:04 AM As MadrRasha suggested, I've taken to mortaring them. I've also had some luck dropping smoke on the MG to allow my troops to approach. MGs still don't do well against flamer Engis or Molotovs IMHO In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Digital Collectors Edition14 Aug 2013, 10:37 AM Yeah, I thought getting the entire COH 1 was worth it. I normally wouldn't buy all the commanders and skins and things, but getting all those games too seemed like a good deal to me. In: Lobby
Thread: Game balanced without su8513 Aug 2013, 19:44 PM Perhaps it's just the skill bracket I play in. PZIV is still pretty much the only endgame vehicle I see except for the occasional Elefant In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Game balanced without su8513 Aug 2013, 19:30 PM As a Soviet player and someone who loves the game, I'm all for any change that will help the endgame evolve from its current PZIV/SU85 meta and let us see more tanks used In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Too many players left...13 Aug 2013, 19:29 PM I would think (have heard of no plans for something like this?) that Steam Workshop integration would be neat, or at least official mod tools and an in-game "arcade" interface like SC2 has. Custom maps/custom game modes aren't really my shtick, but seem really good for helping keep casual interest. Also, I want a really simple way for players to be able to create their own unit skins and maps and have it easily accessible to the whole community. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Wargame: AirLand Battle13 Aug 2013, 18:38 PM I own it but COH2 is taking up most of my time. I am a little concerned about Wargame's learning curve. In: Other Games
Thread: Too many players left...13 Aug 2013, 18:09 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Aug 2013, 16:36 PMNullist You have a kid. WTF are you doing. Stop trying to pretend to be a hardcore gamer. How many hours have you gamed in the last 7 days? If it doesnt exceed 50% of total waking hours, you aint it. There are several streamers here who do 6hrs average a day of streaming. And they are the least anti-social overall. Im sure there are far more compulsive recluses around. Why pretend to be a hardcore gamer, when you have a baby? Cyridius, I was mostly targeting my response at Nullist, who seems (unless I'm misunderstanding something in that post above) to be ridiculing someone for being a "casual" gamer, as though it's something for a COH2 player to be ashamed of. I was just trying to bring that reasoning back around - this thread is about players leaving the game, and multiplayer features aside, berating casual or new players for the limitations of their lifestyle ain't a good way to keep people in a game. Cyridius, I understand and agree that things like leaderboards and observer mode (and maybe even Steam Workshop support!?!?) are very important, and I too hope to see them implemented in a relatively short time frame. But toxic communities can drive players away, as well. Just my 2 cents In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 from the perspective of a newcomer to the franchise13 Aug 2013, 17:12 PM I play mostly 2v2 and 3v3. I have done a little 1v1 but feel that I need a better mechanical understanding of the game in order to be successful in that game mode. When I first started playing, I really liked 3v3 and 4v4 but I'm increasingly finding them too chaotic to be enjoyable, and somewhat difficult for me to help effect a comeback if my teammate(s) are struggling. EDIT - I only really enjoy player vs player, in case it's unclear. While I have time commitments and an unable to dedicate dozens of hours a week to improving, the quality of my play is very important to me. In: Lobby
Thread: Too many players left...13 Aug 2013, 17:09 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Aug 2013, 17:00 PMCyridius MOBA games are a unique example because their design scales extremely well throughout all skill levels, whereas in shooter games they don't go much past the casual level, RTS games are generally geared to higher level, and MMO games are flat out time sinks. CoH2 would need a redesign from the ground up to be a game that caters to players of all stripes equally. I get what you're saying, but any game needs a "casual" playerbase to thrive. New players coming to the game and not being turned away or verbally abused by the existing community (which is actually fairly common, sadly) is IMHO required for a thriving community. Look at StarCraft, for an RTS example. It's a complex (from some perspectives, at any rate) and very demanding game, but it's still played a ton by bad/casual and good players alike. Aside from Blizzard's cache as a developer, the community itself actively fosters and teaches new and casual players, welcoming them instead of deriding them or berating them for having time commitments. You can't have it both ways: casuals are going to be, and IMHO have to be a part of this game if the community is going to grow and thrive. Decrying people for (or accusing them of) being "casual" as though the casual gamer is somehow unworthy of playing or having an opinion about COH2 is IMHO narrow minded and counter productive towards the goal of fostering a larger community for this game.

Thread: Any DLC s in planifications?13 Aug 2013, 16:48 PM I'm not sure about adding new factions, but I am interested to see what new commanders come out. In: COH2 Gameplay
