Girlfriend offers to pay for CoH + Expansion.. Worth it?

A multiplayer community in a game by Relic that isn't their latest one?

Wow man you gotta start working as a stand-up comedian

 

I'm to leet to know how modern MP communities work

 

It is still very active and a ton of games to be found.

 

... yay for conflicting statements :-/

 

Wait, weren't you an avid anti-DoW2 fag?

 

Have you heard about a concept of "shades of grey"?

DoW2 is shit for other reasons. Like neverending popamole corridors with 90-degree-angle pre-placed unnatural cover. Make it third person and it will play no different from Mass Defect.
In contrast to CoH's and FoW+bros free approach missions without any artificial corridor minigames.

 

Who the hell plays RTS games in singleplayer? They're meant to be played with and against real people, I mean FFS any gorilla can realise that a tacked-on, shitty campaign is tacked on and shitty. The AI is also braindead, but who gives a shit. I wouldn't even call the campaign in DoW2 the same genre as the multiplayer.

 

Comrade Skyway delivers comedy gold once again.

 

Not really true, Axis is better in late games and Allies in early games so if you play annihilate Axis has an edge unlike in victory point games.

Thats only because of vet system of the Wehrmacht, Panzer Elite on the other hand is pretty weak unless you play team games where they have time and resources to upgrade their units.

 

I dunno man. They have SP campaigns - obviously they are there so you play them in MP.

MP or SP - it doesn't matter in RTS if the gameplay mechanics are flawed.
I'd totally take DoW1 over sleepy DoW2 in MP even with DoW1's basebuilding if that will let me to have hordes of units constantly moving around.

hurr I just hurd on ze Codex that skyway haetz all gaemz it's all black n white for him no matter what he himself postz durrr

 

Most RTS games have campaigns added as an afterthought, and I can think of very few games that did anything interesting in their campaigns. I don't even know why they keep releasing single-player components to RTS games if they almost always turn out half-assed and forgettable.

I would too, but that doesn't make DoW2 mechanics flawed in any way. The only thing keeping DoW2 from being taken seriously as a competitive RTS is Relic's atrocious balancing and QA, and the fact that it has a small and shitty community because of said balance issues.

 

What is it with you hipsters. Puking shit out of your noise hole is not a acceptable argument for anything.
DoW 2 is a fine game and well made over all if you are not a retarded fucker who has no conception how to take advantage of abilities, counters, speed, aggression, retreats and every thing else.

Then again you being the so called "to cool for school" type it dose not surprise me that any thing that is fun is below you.

 

I got frozen synapse instead on the offchance my gf will be able to play it
I might still get ToV though

I cant even run the newer shit so thats out of the question anyways

 

If I haven't played FoW&Co you could've used "DoW2 has squad tactics and abilities" argument all you want against me.

DoW2 is very simplistic when it comes to those things.
And if we'll dig deeper we'll find that there are much more tactical squad-level games which make DoW2 eat dirt. A lot.

 

I might be out of touch with the RTS-genre nowadays, but...

Dune 2
Command & Conquer
Command & Conquer 2
Red Alert
Red Alert 2
Warcraft
Warcraft 2
Warcraft 3
Shadow of the Horned Rat
Dark Omen
Dawn of War

spring to mind as evidence that your sentence is exaggerated.

 

No my argument was that you sucked at the game and now you are raging on and on how it is a HORRIBLE THING!!! FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED!!! and yet you have yet to make an argument on how it is flawed.
