Keep 2v2 in mind please. The ability for one player to just go PTRS Penals and combine with Rifles or maxims, or what have you, basically gives a 2v2 team the ability to deal with anything early game. Not to mention what good will a Kubel be ever again lol. An army should not have the ability go have shoulder fired AT that early in the game. It's just a bad bad idea. It should require T3 building at least if you are hell bent on this idea, but I think its bad in general.

See Zombi and Tric's responses and unload yourself from my ass.

The TLDR from all this schoolgirl drama is the balance group has probably 1 shot at this and to be careful with major game mechanic/design overhauls or else we may be in a bad place for a long time if not indefinitely.

I'm all for negative feedback, but what did you intend to solve with your first comment?

From my time on this site, since I was a non-user and non-staff, I've had tremendous respect for you, so let it be known that the fact that I'm saying this is in no way an attempt to slander or attack you.

The issue I have with your post is that this isn't new news. The community developers most didn't join without knowing this, they joined in spite of this.

Trust me I whole heartedly commend them and their efforts. I myself have been on that side of the the coin many times over the years and only once did it ever amount to fuck all, and that was when COH1 went EOL and they actually let us fix it with 2.602. And even then they still managed to fuck up that patch in several ways that were fixed in the final private beta. RELIC LEARN TO REGRESSION TEST YOUR CODE FFS!

So what I see here is COH2, going EOL just the same way, and Relic is finally giving up control like they did for vCOH. The problem is, there's still MAJOR game mechanics that are being toyed with. We had an army of top players for 2.602 in comparison to the tiny handful there is now, and everything we did was ultra fine tuning and finessing and there was tons of useful discussion with Relic devs and top players together in a joint effort. This balance attempt is still lopping off limbs and trying to reattach them elsewhere. COH2 is such a giant mess I just see it as too late to be attempting these monumental changes and succeeding.

That said, I give a giant solute to the peeps attempting it but I have good reason for being skeptical that they'll unfuck this game in 1 patch, and I dont imagine there will be many more patches after this. I'd do my usual and volunteer and rally the troops but with an 8 month old now I just don't have the time. Good luck gents!

This train came and left the station years ago. Relic has pissed off so many motivated outstanding community members over the years who spent hundreds of hours doing testing in private balance betas in private balance forums and all left frustrated and angry. Relic would then a year later gather up the next round of fanbois who didn't know any better and off they were to redo the cycle. Seeing as it looks that COH2 is coming to its EOL I imagine they want to put this game to bed like we did with 2.602 vCOH but they shoulda just helped ups make it amazing years ago instead.

I solute you guys I really do, but knowing stats and modding tools is how Relic balances this game in the first place and we all see how that works. Hell, if they had listened to us back in Beta we might be having a COH2 Dreamhack right now! Relic has had countless chances to do this right already and I think you guys are probably the last hope there is because I imagine most of the top level players have moved on, burnt out, or are just plain not willing to work with Relic again.

Heh, the DT is the new lady in town. I've had the Sennheisers for years and they still blow me away but with a kid in the house now I wanted something closed back so I switch back and forth.
