CoH 2 Announced!

[Shootter]

some of you guys fail to understand that COH actually was a real unknown pearl for long time in the real of RTS. The fact that tanks shoot 5 meters away and that the battlefield is as big as a schoolyard doenst change the fact that its gameplay is unique and the game is much more competitive than Mow/MOWAS has ever been due to a community big enough, a working automatch and a focus on 1v1/2v2, which are more suitable for "competitive gaming". You can laugh as much as you want about unrealistic things of COH, its gameplay innovations (squad system, retreat, cover values, garrison, commmander systemm....) remains a big step in the RTS evolution that should not be forgotten.

Relic had a bad start with the game, for the 6 first months we were about 200 players online at peak time but with advertisement and marketing, the game has known its biggest sucess after the first addon (opposing fronts), community reaching today 8k online players at the same time, eventho the new introduced factions were real pieces of crap (anyone disagreeing hasnt played vcoh gold age 1.4-1.71).

Sadly for mowas, with DMS beeing a 1man-company, the future wasnt bright: no chance to see a real good automatch system beeing implemented, no good maps (i mean officially released), crappy DLC (lets be honest), no advertisement, random crashes,...the list goes on. All things that are really a pain in the ass if you like ranking up a ladder (as I do).

I had a lot of fun with MOWAS, but vCOH still remains superior to me for all the fun it had brought. We were all playing in clans, knewknew all decent players, were posting replays on a dedicated website (GR.org), creating sometimes flamewars, playng tourney, all things that keep a community alive! Dont get me wrong, I loved my time with mowas, specially by playubg with italian teammates or EPIC vent on community maps, but it really never as great as it did with COH (altough I have stopped playing the game about 2-3 years ago).

Im waiting COH2 much more than MOW2 or any Blizzard piece of microwave crap. It it possible that it wont reach expactions (cause they are high), but its still the biggest upcomming event to wait for RTS players (RTT or whatever). Funny thing, I always kept promoting mowas on COH forum and I do the opposite here haha...

yeah, the problem with Mow as is the small community, MOW's Trailers are **** and the publicity isn't enough. That's why the 70% of the community are russians. But Even with 1man-company Instinct is doing it well, And if he won't mow's name destroyed he should make his team stop making *** games like mow vietnam.

DMS or Instinct have NOTHING to do with games like MoW Vietnam.... they were not developed by DMS.... I hope u do realize this but it seems maybe you dont. They were made by some 1c in house developers/1c multimedia or whatever and not Instinct's "team".

CoH 2 should be entertaining. If it decides to try and be a big e-Sport thing I will certainly be trying to get it out there from day 1. I know some people dislike CoH because it isn't as realistic or in-depth as MoW. But CoH is more realistic and in-depth than C&C or Starcraft 2.

We could be pushing people in the direction of realism and depthiness. Which eventually leads to MoW. Or you can push them away and box them in and leave them in the world of Starcraft.

And ofcourse don't forget. MoW is only "Realistic and depthy" compared to...It still lacks plenty of stuff. Is there a company out there that wants to beat MoW? Doesn't seem like it!

CoH is much more entertaining to watch, give the right matchups, and easier to follow to outsiders. Random people watching starcraft can't really understand what it is going on. Random people watching Company of Heroes. They can relate. This looks bigger than that. Those guys look in a better position than these guys.

We should use this to get people into "Good" games. You know. Ones with actual tactics rather than people trying to justify their time spent practicing how to build and then considering tactics as "What units composition did I have", "Where do I drop" and "I'm going to kill him as he tries to move up my ramp".

Doncha know? Instinct has more arms than Ganesh. That's his team.

sorry, u guys know my english suck hard so its pretty hard for me explain you in english

However big the team is, it's lacking a Wiwi to develop a marketing plan and to put the balance sheet in a way that investments become possible. It's the trait that's needed most, not more computer scientists Xx

would be cool... but i don't think that we gonna see mow2 or something.. they just makin some ****ty spinoffs... like condemnd heroes...

These were not made my DMS. Condemmed heors, Red Tide and Vietnam were made by other comapnies. DMS had propably was not involved in there development. Men of War 2 propably will come. Men of war is not a game you can create in a year. All RTS games take several years to make. Men of War will take longer because of its complexity.

yeah ik since dms only made mow and assault squad,those where awesome games.. i wish dms announce something new... like new engine on next game... in my opinion mow needs new engine.. dunno why... but i don't think that more of men of war series gonna come out... since the game is not very popular not much income... ah nvm its pretty hard to explain. but maybe you will undesrtand... what i want to say... that they probably... if they.. gonna make... so its gonna be same engine and few new levels..
