i think dota 2 and lol are a very good example that you are wrong. dota doesnt even have progression and the progression in lol is reasonably fast.
thing with coh2 is, that some of the mechanics are so unpolished and the optimization is so bad, that i think that it wouldnt be that much of an improvement for the playerbase, because many players wouldnt play it for long
but if that would be fixed, coh2 basegame might actually make a very good f2p title
Somehow I doubt CoH2 wold suddenly have 2+ million population keeping it alife on skin sales alone you know.
If anything, these two exceptions only reinforce my point. |
So what you're saying is that Relic would implement some kind of system where you needed to pay money to be able to use hotkeys or something along those lines? Like how in MMOs you sometimes can't sprint if you're a free user? Yeah that would be awful.
This pretty much is essence of F2P games, even the good ones.
Incredibly slow progression, or paying for convenience or plain P2W. |

You F2P supporters don't really have any slightest idea how does it work right?
It doesn't nessesairly mean pay2win needs to be implemented, but mechanics dettering free players/slowing them down/putting them behind paying customers are complete MANDATORY for F2P to work.
Servers do not run on up votes on steam or out of charity, these services cost and they force certain % of playerbase to pay, no matter how light or tough, people are forced to open their wallets eventually.
With playerbas as CoH2 have now? F2P would kill it faster then you can tell "I'm a 4v4 axis hero who would love F2P, I don't care for russian and asian hacker infestation in that specific mode".
Anyone who has slightest clue on how F2P works KNOWS why its horrible path to go.
And believe me, I know F2P market more then any of you. |
This started with OKW scavenge artillery, before UKF was even there
curiously enough it was a-ok with the Brit air superiority Kappa
There I was thinking it started with -insert USF arty of choice- against -insert OKW truck of choice here-. |
These are all valid points however they don't make mine any less true. people need to stop comparing far weaker and cheaper tanks to stronger yet more expensive ones.
True. |
Which are less than half the fuel price, take only 1 less shot to kill, does the same dmg as the panther,reload faster, and are better against infantry even without the buffs they are getting this patch.
If we completely ignore gun range, penetration, vet bonuses and armor values, you could have a point! |
Panther. Because I use triple armor bulletin abuse 
Hope you're not too attached. |
No fun to play have nothing in common with balance.
Aaaand /thread. |
That is a good idea, thank you
But it doesn't work since 222hp buff. |
-Move VET2 to VET1(SOV/WER) for more speed repair, so it is something more accessible.
This is probably THE best solution here.
Hell, I would even give up flares and medkits for that  |
