i highly doubt that the average ever went over 1k... i'd be amazed if the peaks ever went significantly over 1.5k. got any numbers to back that up?

coh2 has peaks of between 5k and 7k players any given month (disregarding f2p weekends), just as a reference.

SNF season 4 got over 2k viewers almost every week. Later CoH1 tournament casts got 700-1000 viewers. CoH2 beta SNF 2v2 cast had a really good turnout, don't remember the numbers but it was possibly a record breaker. SNF5 got around 500-800 viewers. Now the tournaments get around 200-300 viewers....meanwhile Xcom is just automatching CoH1 with almost 100 viewers.


Maybe it is a good turnout per capita of CoH2 community, but then that begs the question why is the CoH2 community so small? Don't say "because its a new game and will pass CoH1 with time" because its a sequel which doesn't need to completely re-establish itself, its already piggy backing off the franchise name. You don't see the new CoD, Battlefield, or even another niche PC rts like Wargame taking months or years to build up its it playerbase, its pretty much as good as it gets shortly after release. This didn't apply to CoH1 because it was a fairly unknown game at the time, and the free weekends and big sales happening late in its lifespan brought it a lot of spotlight. CoH2 has already had the publicity, free weekends and huge sales, so it likely already peaked. Maybe the game will get much, much better in the future and a lot of people will come out of the woodwork and start playing again, but thats highly unlikely. That terrible metacritic user rating definitely isn't helping either.

Is it only me or the units back in vCoh were pretty responsive, but are slow as hell here ? I mean there is like a 1 second delay (which is enormous) between the click and the unit movement. Mix this with the shitty man placement : you click to move the squad, it takes one second for the first movement, but only three men moves, then 2 sec later the 4rd one sprint to rejoin his comrades. This is just so frustrating, quite as much as units moving by themselves out of covers when they are stationary and firing, without having orderer to move...
