I guess it was the wrong interview then.

[Tymathee]

Basically the Relic guy says that they stole all ideas for COH2 from EIR.

I hope they did.

[Mister Schmidt]

A lot of that interview is just Ami & Yoink crying about how it's different from vCoH

[nikomas]

Sounds like something I don't want to listen to then, Seriously, it's not an interview if the interviewer is bitching and moaning. A good interviewer asks good questions that can be answered, then you bitch and moan after the interview if the answers given are lame.

Grilling is another matter entirely.

COH2 is still gonna be pay2win. Maybe not initially. But when they start to release expansions with overpowered units just to make people buy them. That's when everything starts going to hell. They're never gonna fix these problems either.

Yes, heed the words of the prophet Pony, who has evidently stepped into the future to give us this foretelling of Relic's doom.

[RikiRude]

pony is right, think about how op pe and cw were when introduced to coh. it took relic forever to start to balance them. plus when new units come in they are more than likely going to be op rather than up. so those that buy the packs will have an advantage.

I have faith that Relic will have learned from Tales of Valour and Opposing Fronts. If anything, I suspect that these DLC packs will be additional skins for vehicles, like they've said the initial DLC would be.

Swear off COH2, boycott them and they'll learn = )

Nothing hits them harder than pennies lost but the truth is that, the gaming industry is moving towards quick and fast gratification evident by the big boys in the industry. It's the age of casual gaming, no longer than of the high and mighty elite nerds.

[LiquiDeath]

In the end, I would bet that COH2 can be of great quality, but...

They will manage to kill it by slapping that 10 years old networking stack to this "eintopf" anyway

[brn4meplz]

None of you stuck around here for 6 years playing games on the CoH platform just to not buy CoH 2.

Even if they do fuck it up we all know we're going to buy the product. Like it or not, we fall into the rock solid fanbase category. 6 Years is a really long time for a product in the gaming world.

If no one noticed, they changed the wording on the preorder information.

"In-Game Currency Gift to be Used Towards Purchasing Future Content "

[Baine]

Wow i think that was the nicest thing brn ever posted! :-P

[DarkSoldierX]

I may be part of the "rock solid fanbase catagory", but I am still more than willing to wait many months to ensure I buy a balanced game(for a cheaper price too probably  ), rather then a poorly done one.

Really - you sure about that?
cuz vCoH is not balanced and you own that.  Eirr is not balanced either and you play it.

I call bullshit!

[DarkSoldierX]

Well, I got CoH for free from a video card(it was OF), and I only decided to buy ToV after many many months when it was about 10~15$, and to be fair, EiR and its persistency outweigh the imbalances that it has.

VCoH on the other hand, has nothing to attract me to it. Matter of fact when I first played CoH I thought to myself, this is fucking boring. Im sure you can guess what mod I found that actually push me to reinstall it.



So, no, its not a bullshit statement.

I am more than willing to wait until the game gets better, or EiR2 beta releases before I make a purchase. Unlike some I actually have self control btw.

[tank130]

sure ya do........

Not one of the many outbursts and personal attacks i have seen come from you even hint at self control.

[EliteGren]

Well you can bet your ass that the day it's out it's gonna be right here on my desk. A game like coh just has to be bought physically imo tbfh. I'm ready to spend another 6 years on it

Also happy to hear about the coho-like stuff, I loved CoHO. Fuck, so looking forward to this game after hearing that

[tank130]

CoH is by far, the best RTS game out there IMO. That's why it has lasted as long as it has.
What you guys need to consider is: how do you improve on something that is top of it's class already.

I expect it to be a little different and some new cool stuff, but I don't expect it to blow my mind with innovation. If they try to get too creative, they will loose what makes CoH what it is.

I just lol at all the theory crafters in here predicting what it will or won't be.

+1
It is a pretty safe assumption that they will play around with a COHO element, since they did that with COH1 and it worked pretty well for them. I wouldn't mind that, so long as you could also join ranked games that didn't use it (like vcoh).
