Hey guys, who actually plays Destiny?

e: 4evaalone

I highly doubt its working as intended, as MG42/MG34 crew members still magically teleport without even having to go back and pick up the machine gun, in fact, more often than not the last man standing will be running back to base empty handed and make it out of there.

So it seems that it is going to be in custom games only... I was really hoping that they would go big with this so you could spectate your friends in automatch but I guess a cheap version is enough to satisfy the few remaining shoutcasters and elite players.

How do you know this? Is it some insider information?

If its true, I expected as much. Being able to spectate live games seemed way too ambitious for them. Then again I'll be pleasantly surprised if it isn't.

CoH2 really needs more players for auto-match, this is very true. Mismatches are common, I'd say maybe half or less of my 2v2 matches will be a fully even match in terms of skill level accross all 4 players. Its also apparent in 1v1 where a poor newbie will be matched with a top 10 player.

Going F2P would be awesome from a player perspective. More players, more activity, less mismatches (eventually when newcomers learn the game). Comprises would have to be made though. Maybe if they made a tonne of new skins and finally decided rainbow or chrome tanks were allowed in the game it could be profitable. Some other money sink besides commanders which people who bought the game are already buying anyway. Go the Valve route and let the community design their own skins, popular skins get voted by the players and approved by Relic, creators get paid for sales.

Personally I'd love some silly skins on tanks, I'd probably buy a pink heavy tank skin. Provide an option for people who are not into that to be able to disable those skins if they wanted. Going F2P wouldn't instantly bring in 10-20k new players (or maybe it will), but as Relic eventually fix the game and the $18k ESL tournaments bring some attention to the game, things would definitely start to ramp up. Doesn't hurt for Relic to ask (pay?) people like Day9 or other big casters in the other RTS/Moba scenes to do some coverage either.

Can someone please explain to me the importance of having such an NDA in the first place? How does it serve to benefit anyone?

Excuse me if its an ignorant question but I am genuinely puzzled as to why Relic has such a strict NDA policy. Probably not a fair comparison but I have been a fan and player of WoW and EVE online and you would never be starved for answers as to whats going on with the game.
