I really hope they try to make CoH2 a good competitive game that can challenge some of SC2's dominance (it probably won't take up much of SC2's market but can at least force blizzard to make SC2 a better game). If they do things like remove most of the randomness, add in better spectator tools, add in an easy-to-use map editor, allow mirror MUs, and maybe diversify the factions a little more I think it can be a great competitive game (assuming they keep all the great stuff from CoH1). I really hope they don't do the DoW thing where they just add in a bunch of factions that can never be balanced. I want 3, maybe 4 factions top. In fact just 2 is good as long as they are different and balanced enough. Can't wait to see the game in action :D | ||

Man, I just can't wait. do they really abandon their games this much? (serious question) I re-installed CoH a few weeks ago and the game's auto-patch was broken, but the game had like 50+ patches on the website. Of course you had to download all of them separately and they were HUGE so I just said fuck it and never patched the game at all, but that still seems like some good support... Or where they all useless patches and too little too late? Or are you referring to DoW games? but yea that's really shitty how you have to go through SO MUCH SHIT to patch the game to the most current version from 1.0 | ||

Every patch up until the more recent ones had its own broken playstyle or unit. The single most infamous example would be Aniketos' Piospam. I don't know what the balance is like nowadays, but I get the feeling that balance was achieved too late. | ||

They always add so many RNGs that you can never balance them or properly play them competetively. best player generally wins though, and you can't really cheese in coh, tbh I've lost more itmes to players who I know are worse at RTS than me in sc2 than I ever did in coh, despite the randomness | ||

First look at CoH2 Looks good. Now all they need to do is completely dump the random element and make their servers/network code more stable. | ||
