Looks a lot like close combat but in 3d

[Poppi]

played demo and didnt like it. Seemed arty was too vital and few other things kept me from enjoying myself. I guess im looking for a balance of unrealistic and realistic so i can enjoy the game and my units can live and operate well enough that i can make a strategic move.

Then again i felt CC was a bit off how i had pebbles block my LOS and 1000rounds couldnt hit one person. And ATGs killed everything

how come infantry in coh/eirr can't hop over fences like that

Because all our units come from the Derp Division.

it would be OP and nug would demand you nerf them.

Stop following me in every thread i make Tym.

In COH 2 then can. You know when Relic gives them laser guns, and takes place in 2033, and there are only 12 units on the battlefield at once.

Stuff that makes you not want to play COH anymore.

Man, I bet they'll put "Hero" units in CoD2...
With upgrade trees...

ehhhh

Awesome

gay but probably true.

personally i dont have a problem with hero units, as there were plenty of examples of heroes in wars across history. My issue is making them game/balance breaking

[RikiRude]

time to derail.

not that coh is a realistic game and i typically like hero units, but i don't see a place for hero units in eirr/coh. at least not something that's any harder to kill than oakleaves.

though i could see hero units that are called generals that are cards that you get on the warmap, that would be epic.

general patton card grants armor bonus, rommel card does similar for axis, things like that. or even majors or colonels.

ya im okay with some level of persistence if relic added it to COH2. There are many ways to tackle the hero or level issues.

Anyone try Battlefield academy. Its turn based but plays out like a board game.

Why not Hero units that gain abilities and such as they gain XP, you could actually have a Captain or Major in command of your Company/Battalion who, while also being on the battlefield and giving aura bonuses, could provide you with the ability to call in offmaps, special units, etc.

[Poppi]

I imagine skill tree and points for minor bonuses instead of doctrine unlocks is a way to use leveling.

Just imagine the rage you would cause at killing it.

[RikiRude]

good point ampm, that would be pretty awesome.

would also add a dynamic as you'd want to kill the unit, do you bring it out early to get a good foot hold? or bring it out mid to make sure you stay in good?
