Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[COH ON]Company of Heroes - Wherein We Grudgingly Accept A Balanced(ish) Game
Posts
I actually did read the OP. It made it clear that the expansion was backwards compatible with the original, but I wasn't sure if the original was compatible with the expansion. Can I play against people that use the expansion armies? Or am I limited to playing against just the Americans and the Wehrmacht?
Anyway, joining the steam group under the name Pious Flea. I'll install the game sometime later today, probably.
Yes. It is forwards compatible, also.
And don't worry, playing against me should inflate your ego quite nicely. At this point I probably suck so bad.
In short Fuck Playing as Americans VS PE. SO MUCH RAGE! I still suck but still something should have worked but nothing did.
I know what you mean I feel so helpless in the early game when they have cars going everywhere and all I have are riflemen, who always seem to lose against PE infantry.
I had map control then a giant blob came out of no where and some how got my M8 killed in about a second :\. Along with all my infantry, now that you mentioned retreat paths in one of your SC's they all like to go all runway model infront of the enemy.
It didn't help he was G43 slowing retreating sqauds. I really should have rammed his Ketten when I look back on it.
But.. I'm already hooked!
any tips for getting past it? i'd like to enjoy the rest of the game.
When they start in with the artillery barrages, move everything back to the Church, set up your mgs and at guns covering all the approaches, and you should be set.

Probably GameReplays. There's a link in the OP.
ALSO: When will we get the patch? This is becoming CoH Forever.
Also the patch has supposedly gone into its final stage of development. Whatever that means.
Regardless, I say the patch comes in December.
ALSO: Patch will never come, scots to be OP in team games forever. News at 11.
Interesting.
EDIT: Ugh...$30 for a new "campaign" and game mode? Forget it.
I guess Relic got upset that TychoCelchuuu was playing with the new Soldiers: Heroes of World War II and wanted to bring him back.
I'm sure they'll do a great job with it since they're a good developer.
Joyous days. Gamereplays gains the cunning mind of yours truly.
Though I fear my acceptance of the duty is in awkward times. What with the patch having been out so long.. creating new ideas and tips is going to be rough.
Whermacht:
Pio spam to T3
Puma spam to win
Grenadier spam to AC
Pio spam w/ medic bunker to T3
Puma/AC spam to win.
That'll be $5.
oh wait.
PE is horribly broken and anyone who plays them should be beaten and raped by large burly men. It's like Retadins circa 3.0.1 except they've been like this for a whole fucking year. Wehrmacht is reasonably tough with some bad gameplay mechanics (crappy T3, too much reward for losing units).
British on St. Mere Dumont and Langres are about as stupid as PE. On the other hand, they're ludicrously underpowered on Semois and Beaux Lowlands cause of the resource layout. Only way to win as Americans is to strafe down the endless hordes of PGs and listen to scrub noobs QQ about how overpowered it is.
To be honest, I'm glad you aren't adding in any more sides. The Dawn of War model got more than a bit unwieldy by the end there.
New sides sounded good to me. Bah!
Oh well. Some new game types would certainly help. They've been promised three times now, once for a patch, then for Opposing Fronts, and now, hopefully, we'll get this one for Tales of Valor.
What's funny is that I can use a similar summary to describe how 2v2 Axis teams are getting ridiculous win streaks and win/loss ratios in the current version.
2xPE
AC rush/spam
Marder rush/spam
PE/Wher
AC rush/spam
Medic bunker/AT gun
Fact is that until the phase shifting bullshit is fixed with ACs and Puma, the competitive game is crap. Everyone whines about medic bunker spam but at least medic bunkers don't shift out of space and time to dodge any and all incoming fire.
=(
I had to come put TekDragon in his place, though.
You aren't going to put me in any place. Only a tool thinks the Whermacht pioneer/weapon crew MP40 buffs coupled with the new and improved* Puma will be anything but bullshit. 1-second arty has nothing on this.
I haven't played Wher since they killed the StuG and I refused to go back to Axis when every half-assed lamer learned how to abuse ACs and medic bunkers. But if the current game goes live there's zero reason to play Allies. I'll micro my ACs and Pumas like shit and it won't matter - nothing will touch them.
