Company of Heroes Online

Hey guys is some of you playing this? I mean i am trying, but its so unbalanced in favor of Allies that it takes COH back to days before 1.5 patch. I mean Calliope has a working barrel once again, you can have up to two Pershings...not to mention that almost every 1v1 game against allies has basically devolved into a blobfest...if it is Infantry = Rangerspam, if it is Airborne = Paraspam and if it is Armor = M10spam and Calispam. Moreover there are so many new people playing this that they dont even know some basic tactics and therefore they are relying only on blobbing. And if that is not enough everything that was for counter-blobing is nerfed - Grenadier Elite armor switched from vet2 to vet3, nerfed Ostwind and even Puma. I think that some old-blood veterans, that i believe are residing on these forums should join and teach them a lesson...cmon dont let me fight alone!

ahhh.... this sounds too good for me... but I hate CoH:O, so I won't ever play it.

there's already a thread where a similar discussion.

Yeah it is similar, but that thread is for complains about COHO. In this thread i wanted to rally up old veterans from COH and teach those bloody new-blood blobbers a lesson. :P

I just finished to install CoH:O after a long time of waiting, while creating a commander I was kicked out by the server because the maintenance started, how lucky :(.

LoL...good start!  ;D

I got it, played it, but got horribly bored very quickly. There's nothing exciting about it, its just very gimmicky and the current Relic guys can be facepalm worthy in their balancing (ie. Ostwind). 

I won my first game, Hurray!

But I hate this game, I agree its boring. AM staying with EF and other Mods.

Thats true. Yesterday i was playing against an Airborne player and he had blobbed AB with Rifles. I was defending a VP with 3 Ostwinds and all of them were chewed up by this blob...thats just ridicilous. I mean what should i do when T4 counter-blob unit is worthless against blob? Sing them a song? :-\

Sounds like a fine idea ;)

+1 a lullaby song perhaps.

I read CoH:O forums and the balance became worst than vCoH, they screwed the gameplay more than they fixed it.

I mean, some of the changes that experts suggest were applied on CoH:O like ninja pak and medic's health nerf. But also they nerf units to oblivion like the ostwind and nerf vet 3 rifles just to make their riflemen heroes more "tough".

Main problem of this imbalance are probably those Hero units. As you said they want to make those Heroes "tough" especially if they are blue, or purple or whatever (i only have blue and i only saw blue items at most in matches)and another reason are those commander trees. Since this game will probably be free, this will be Relics source of income, through micro-transactions...you wanna better Hero or respec your abilities? - Pay! Anyway im curious about Brits and PE now...some guy on COHO forums had found some half-finished Brit files and there are some serious issues in them like 1sec arty or Priests in RE doctrine or Combined assault group formed from US and UK units. I mean wtf are they doing to this game.???

Besides call-in units don't earn vet. This isn't good...

oh why are allied blobs so tough,
for the axis its to rough
the puma is no use
I rather go play RUSE

well it is the start of a song
make up more stanzas

enough squads with assault grenades, eg blitzkrieg doctrine of KCH will defeat american infantry blobs.

I have a question:

The old traditional CoH works again or we must use force CoH Online?

Relic is hot for bucks
balance is all over da place
thats why this new game sucks
ranger blobs in your face

*dudeludooo* *i got the blues*

;D

I do that already  ;D.. it was just for information, because I'm the one that follows CoH for my clan, so I must keep the players updated on the news and give people a bit of "technical support"  ;)

well that would be cool...if only blitzkrieg commander had those assault grenades as it was in vCOH

vCoH works fine, it never stopped to work afaik; btw the only feature I liked from CoH:O was the german tutorial.

Wehr in overall was nerfed I think, you have to pay 10 munis each time you want to fire a nebel. Artillery costs were increased in both sides as well.

Infantry vet 2 bonuses were changed to vet 3 and vice versa. Just Pios vet should be changed imo.

Ostwinds nerfed to oblivion, they now hardly hit, let alone kill, anything.

Allies have their own problems either, but I just remember that Strafing run is way OP, and rifles vet3 are weaker than vCoH counterpart.

The balance gone a while ago, and Relic didn't notice or didn't care. Until now there's no response from anyone of Relic about the balance patches for those issues, they have released some patches but these changes aren't fixed. So I think many players could leave CoH:O if Relic doesn't pay attention.

Don't mention the amount of noobs playing.

Ok thanks...I don't know whether to be curious or disgusted (about the "support" of Relic).

Where can I download it?

Thats what im talking about...lets kick them asses. I just absolutely hate when infantry commander spammes Rifles, and then he goes for M8...if that doesnt earn him the victory, he just go for Rangers then and spam them like hell. That strat has nothing to do with RTS style and CoH gameplay and not to mention its not fun. 90% of infantry commanders are so predictable, mainly because most of them are newbs (or noobs).

You can download it from - www.companyofheroes.com. You just need to sign up there and dowload the setup file, which has only few kb...after that the main installation will begin which has about 11gb.

Story of My Life , PvP starcraft , After school Club, same kid rushes middle and blocks you base , if you attack his middle Defenses he starts whining and complaining  'No rushing !!' He is the definition of Noob.

How do we beat a Spammer?

Spam Him back!
