I'm legitimately confused by what the OP is trying to say.

I think he says that COH2 is too much like FPS games in that all you do is kill things, because killing things, big explosions, etc is a popular genre which makes money.

I'm not saying that I agree with that claim 100%, but what does any of this have to do with manpower??

I think you have to give a better description of it. I get that English isn't your first language and I can live with it.

Because atm, platformer games like Mario, Pokemon and Sonic fit in your description (And yes, those make a lot of money, even today).



+1

Seriouly tho, CoH2 could really do with a Karma system.

Can you try to rephrase exactly what you are trying to accomplish with this thread? Because it seems like you are jumping on 4 or 5 different things and comparing COH2 to entire other genres of games.

Are you saying there is too much manpower so this makes the games too long? And that casuals don't have that much time to play and that is why they aren't pros?

Are you saying the time investment is too much compared to shooters like CoD and RPGs like Mass Effect? And are you comparing using skill points and perks in such games to capturing resource points in CoH2?

Are you saying making players play this one game longer to become good makes Sega more money?

Your English is hazy so I am trying to get a better picture of what to respond to.

Apologies, I seem to have worked through your OP in reverse order, because thats how I thought about your points, do bear with me.



It depends on the kind of players you're looking at.

If you're the kind of player that sits defensively, then of course you're going to have a lot of manpower.

If, however, you're the kind of player that tries to attack strategically/carefully or tactially (which a lot of pros do) then you're going to actually run out of MP in the game.

Most of the pros are there because they know the game, they know when to attack, know the enemy's army and know the counters to certain strategies.

Oh and its the pros who put the most hours behind this game, you know, the people who's mission it is to improve, utilise every resource they have and theorycraft, not to mention stay in practice. It took me a long time to get good at CoH1, the more I found I watched the pros, the more I learned how to utilize my troops better and focus on many things at a time. Then I practiced by throwing time at it.



IMO, its not a problem. In fact, this game has historical basis and if anything, it should encourage people to learn about the history. Thats one reason why they make WW2 games like CoH2 - to encourage people to learn the history behind the game instead of making new units like DOW2.

.

CoH2, along with CoH1 is not about killing enemies. If you get a German MG team with 500 kills next to your base, or turtle around your base, racking up kills, then great! You have lots of vet 3/5 units but it isn't going to win the game for you.

CoH2 and CoH1 is all about map control. Nothing more nothing less. Killing and effectiveness of killing units comes in handy when you're contesting regions, but these are just tools for map control at the end of the day.

This is really highlighted in the VP version (the competitive version of the game) where you must contest the centre, no turtling, just fight for the centre.

It typically takes between 20-30 min to get to pop cap, how long would you suggest it should take?
