With the flamethrower there is a chance for it to explode or the guy to carry it to drop it but most of the time if he dies another member in the squad will get it. This is also applicable to panzershrecks and LMG42s or any other heavy weapon upgrade such as the DP-28 for the soviets or the PTRS. This graph may also help with weapon damage output as well. http://www.coh2.org/file/4641/elbe_weapons.png | ||

http://store.steampowered.com/app/231430/ and the expansion released a few hours ago. the expansion adds 2 new armies for a total of 4 armies/factions/races http://store.steampowered.com/sub/40569/ the original base game that came out a year ago had 2 armies and only 1 "online matchup" because mirror matches were not permitted now we'll have 4 match ups... so SC2 fans accustomed to 6 matchups might be more comfortable laying out $40 for it. ($20 for base game and $20 for the expansion) the expansion is heavily focused on improving CoH2 multiplayer. this is an important time for the series. it'll be interesting to see how well this expansion does as its coming out right in the middle of the famous "Steam Summer Sale". | ||

If you buy the western front standalone, you will get the oberkommando west, and US force factions to play as. You will still be playing against the werhmacht and soviet factions, but you need the vanilla version to play as these factions. Same goes for if you just buy the oberkommando or the US forces individually. Basically its Oberkommando west + werhmacht against Soviets + US forces when playing matchmaking. PS - This game is great, buy it! | ||

PS - This game is great, buy it! So it's basically similar to what Relic did with older games like Dawn of War and Company of Heroes 1, which is nice. I think it's a decent compromise not to split the player base. | ||

Anyone got experience with the Xpack and new factions (I assume there was a beta for this?). Did the community die out (Friday fight nights, small tourneys and youtube VoDs /w commentaries? Nope community is stronger than ever actually. Alienware combined with Cevo ran a tournament series that just ended earlier this week in which the prize money was 1000+ euros. You can find the vods that were casted here for the euro cup, and here for the american cup. Rumor has it the winner of the euro cup will face the winner of the american cup in a western front showmatch sometime soon, granted the players are up for it. IMO the euro vods are a bit better from a commentators standpoint, but the guys who the american games Rogers and Pounders are quite entertaining imo. Sunday night fights has been running strong. At this point i think it is safe to say that the game is just as good as coh1 and it just comes down to preference. Many people on coh2.org bitch about balance, but dont let that deter you becuase most of those posts are irretional and not well thought out. Thats not to say the game couldnt use a few adjustments to make it better, but it is far from "x faction is op lolol". | ||

Me and a buddy are going to play some 1v1's and learn the game at the same time, then i guess we can try to kill that ladder! heh probably not. We have no DLC, addons or the expo's so i am kind of worried that people will just win by having bought the extra addons and such, but we will find out. You can get additional commanders as drops in game now. On June 26 2014 08:38 [Agony]x90 wrote: I'm kinda curious for competitive play, how do the factions work? From my understanding, it is always axis vs allies, so there are no mirror matches and what not. Is this correct, and if so, what determines who gets which faction? Does this also mean that all players have to learn all factions equally as well? They play both races yes. Third game the person who lost the fewest victory points gets to race pick. | ||

You can take a look at the rules that are generally used in most CoH2 tounraments. http://www.esl.eu/eu/coh2/1on1/wfalaunch/rules/ | ||
