That's already in COH2; all ballistic weapons function on a combination of scatter vs ifs try and accuracy vs vehicles.

So you're saying that there are no "to hit" homing rolls anymore? Becasue the game certainly still uses accuarcy in a lot of ways like CoH1 did as far as I can tell. PQ, we did away with accuracy altogether, accuracy is 0 for all weapons.

Do you mean artillery type weapons by Ballistic? Because I'm referring to everything from small arms to artillery.

[TheVolskinator]

Don't mention this to volski or he might convince me to go on some coder jihad here 

I mean hell, he just figured out how to drop the accuracy values entirely and replace it all with scatter (all weapons hit on scatter and collision detection, no magic homing missiles) for his own mod last I heard... I'm just saying, I'd play that.

Allah! But ohai, fyi niko is un-realisticing the scatter for leleirhardcoreheya.

[Dnicee]

Tried coh2 beta, isnt it really ugly? Dont even know if its worth it tbh.

[TheVolskinator]

UI does feel like a bad Facebook game. And among other issues, no options to swap back to a CoH1 keybind layout (its hard to forget hotkeys that you've known for 3+ years) and the SWAP OF THE UI POSITION OF BASE BUILDINGS AND FIELD DEFENSES.

Pq, you have GOT to talk with the guys at Relic. For serious. At the very least swap the two build menus because I've lost count of the number of times I've gone to the opposite menu I wanted--and on that note, could the "+ Muni"/"+ Fuel" OPs be moved from the base building menu to the field defenses menu? It's a change that makes no sense tbh.

[Spartan_Marine88]

More intelligent hotkeys! This can`t happen, revert revert!

Dont forget this is beta and about 2/3s of the game is just straight up missing.

There are still units that are unavailable in beta... going to be a bucket load of maps... and lets be honest we all just want EIR 2... half the reason I got CoH2 was for the impending EiR 2.

As to the whole "to hit" roles the only thing that I have found that works that way is the faust. and the nice thing is it doesnt herp out when the vehicle moves out of range. If your target is in the ring when you shoot it the faust will fire far enough. Now i havent tried to break this mechanic but I have noticed how nice it is that your squad doesnt retard jerk after the vehicle.

[Dnicee]

Well I dont care if units and stuff are missing from the game... I'm pissed about the shitty graphic! It look like shit, coh 1 looks so much better tbh! If I'm buying coh 2 its only if all eir players leave eir 1 for eir 2.

[TheIcelandicManiac]

anyone up for a game of coh2?
il be in the vent channel if you do.

It will be more wisdom to buy COH2 once EIR2 will be done. I have never played COH1 I started directly with EIRR...

I think you guys just don't like change. I find the graphics better. and once you get accustomed to the look of the game it's perfectly fine.

It's just that alot of you spent 6 years playing a game and now it looks different.

[Baine]

I think you guys just don't like change.

That's what i found out already. They complain about everything, but CoH2 is really good. Some balancing has to be done, but comon, where was CoH1 when it was released.

[Shabtajus]

aww yeaa looks like when eirr2 will hit the floor me and dnicee wll be stil in eirr1

Check your graphic settings tbh, it looks pretty amazing with everything on high or max IMO, though the style does differ slightly from COH 1. I don't know what it is exactly but something about it makes me think of Men of War.

Anyway, you get accustomed to it pretty quickly, and the new weather and terrain effects are pretty good at least.

[aeroblade56]

the fucking blizzards every 5 minutes is really stupid arse annoying as shit. and it fucks up yer entire screen.

[COHCommando]

^lols, get better comp??? Plus how do the think real soldiers liked it

[brn4meplz]

the fucking blizzards every 5 minutes is really stupid arse annoying as shit. and it fucks up yer entire screen.

This is something we'll have to heavily modify for EiR2. We want some Blizzards, but we don't want them so early. It's nice to establish a game pace and then have the Blizzard set in. We also want there to be more then 60secs warning for a Blizzard. Player will have to prepare positions, or call in specialist units for offense in Blizzards and they need time to do that. Blizzards may also last longer to fully allow for the usually slower pace of EiR to take full effect. Longer time to grab back territory against something with Offmap heavy companies. Or more time to Flank positions in the reduced visibility.

[aeroblade56]

blizzards dull gameplay alot all you do is cap the points right before a blizzard and hunker down for a couple of minutes.

Even without the caping it's boring as shit looking at your screen waiting for the blizzard to leave before you do anything.

[XIIcorps]

I still think it would be great if we could do an Africa mod expansion with weather effects, heat and sandstorms as opposed to cold and blizzards.

[Unkn0wn]

That may or may not be possible depending on what tools Relic provides us with, really.

As for Blizzards, I don't like them in COH 2 personally but I'm confident that we can make them work for EIR. (Tone down the effects if needed, etc)
