Company of Heroes V2: Electric Boogaloo (also, Panzers) - Games

[QUOTE=JLea;34954629]Also playing against bots wont improve your skill since the bots maphack + do retarded things like spamming StuGs[/QUOTE] Can you... ...teach me how2play? <3

I can play, but I tend to be either good or bad, so I'll either kick your ass or get my ass kicked. Never an in-between with me :s

you guys speak of strategies for winning. i want giant epic battles that last so long i can watch something on the tv while i play. [editline]23rd March 2012[/editline] well, some do. if it's a bridge i always blow it first if i can (modern combat's AI repairs bridges). honestly my favorite kills are won in firefights, nothing compares to slaughtering squads with a few well placed elite fireteams i guess the solution to my problem would be to play against two separate normal AIs instead of one hard AI. that way the wimpy and sometimes non-existent offensive aspect is multiplied and thus i have more people to kill. PLUS THEY AREN'T CHEATING FUCKHEADS [editline]23rd March 2012[/editline] but the normal AI is pathetic sometimes. more than enough have i seen them just capture a few points, build no more than 5 squads and just sit there.

Feels bad when my Calliopes are outranged by all the enemy artillery, especially nebelwerfers :c Fortunately for me, my Pershings outawesome every single bloody vehicle the enemy has :D Blitzkrieg is a fun mod, but the AI spams some weird choices. Almost makes me want to get into CoH modding just to make the AI not so stupid.

so i'm gonna play eastern front and i wanna know how i can get it to work and cheatmod to work too. do i just add it after/before cheatmod with a space inbetween on the launcher?

I fucking love the Leningrad map in eastern front. I just love destroying the bridges on my side of the map and just firing mortars and artillery over the river, and having snipers shoot across it.

maps like that where you can control choke points by destroying them are the best especially if there's a mainland and then two islands where the players start [editline]30th March 2012[/editline] ugh this download from mod db isn't working. i want to play this mod... and i'm guessing i just add the mod name next to cheatmod in the boot thingy...

eastern front is shit, it takes so fucking long to load a map

The mod is fine, it's your computer that's the problem. [editline]30th March 2012[/editline] It's loading an entire new faction on top of the existing 4, of course it's going to be fucking slow, especially as the EF maps have somewhat more detail. Turn your detail settings down if you're really that bothered.

no, 20 minute long load times. i'm serious. i started an eddie izzard standup as soon as i pressed play and 20 minutes into the program it was still loading. might have been a fluke i dunno. but the mod seems so fucking awesome and cheatmod works with it and everything... i guess i'ma try again after i get tired of modern combat with cheatmod.. [editline]30th March 2012[/editline] is there any way i can take the leningrad map and put it in regular company of heros? i'd like to play it in modern combat. [editline]30th March 2012[/editline] well either eastern front has upped some settings by itself or the people who made it fucked up somehow. modern combat introduces 2 new races, this mod only introduces one. and yet the load times for even the smallest map are 2-3x longer than without running eastern front i'm going to try some things but the trade off for time spent loading a map is just ridiculous. yeah sure the new maps kick major ass and the new soviets kick serious ass too (though i would like to play as them vs the americans), but it simply isn't worth it and is incredibly disappointing.

Modern combat has only 2 playable factions, with a limited selection of units compared to default factions. It's of course going to load a lot faster. The loading times for Eastern Front should not increase that drastically, it's probably the cheatmod conflicting with it. Try without it and see if that fixes it.

I'd say EF takes 3 minutes tops to load a map. I never actually timed it but I know it's not much longer than CoH.

i just did time it and it takes around an extra minute to 2 minutes. which is nearly double the normal time it takes to load. i dunno it just doesn't feel right, past a certain point it gets tedious, even if it's just a small amount of time waiting 4 minutes for a map to load shouldn't happen and makes the individual games feel worthless to me. you can probably tell time adds up if i didn't select the right options or map or whatever and have to quit, rejigger settings then restart. along with the restarts i use to make sure the enemy has selected a good doctrine. the minutes really do add up, say i have to restart 3 times before my game is good and set (3 is a bit less than normal as well), that's sixteen minutes gone by on EF and only six without EF. the AI picks what they're gonna be from the start but don't actually select their doctrine until around 30 seconds after the game is started. but you can't tell the AI what doctrine you want them to be even with cheats. if you manually go in there and select a doctrine for them they'll still follow the same unit producing and doctrine AI for the one they were set to pick, not the one you picked for them. so they won't use commander points to gain abilities for the doctrine you selected or even use abilities all together. so to get the certain doctrine i was looking for i need to restart then check and see if the AI or AIs selected good doctrines to play against. i prefer the ones that promote human unit production. it's a lot more fun to go up against a horde of people and a bit of armor than a shitload of halftracks and tanks. so as you can see, the time really does and can add up for me. what might only seem like a momentary inconvenience to the less anal retentive players, but for people like me who want games to be set up perfect it could take 30 minutes before i even start a game as opposed to 12 or so. also in general it seems the only fun races to play against are the panzer elite and the americans. the Wehrmacht on expert will upgrade the veterancy to the fullest of all their units eventually and that's just unfair, it makes them able to steamroller a good defense with half the people needed. the british i dunno what the fuck is up with the AI on them. they seem to like to put their trucks in the worst fucking place possible. you try to prolong the game by not shooting them but the AI is just asking for it when it puts its central command truck right across the river to the entrance to my base so very unit coming out of my base was taking shots at it. also is there a way to get the maps from EF and put them into vanilla CC?

I can barely fathom the extreme ocd requirements you have for 'fun'

double post just look at the big ugly image below

[img]http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/7447/puresex.png[/img] as the image name says, this is pure sex to me. i can do this for fucking hours. the thing that breaks up the monotony is every once in a while i send out an offensive force and see how far i can get with it. it's basically like all the awesome parts of this game concentrated. and there are many other maps and 4 races you can do this on too. sometimes i go for wide open maps with little to no real chokepoints. haven't tried it with cheatmod yet, could be even more fun i guess considering all the new factors involved. but this is pretty much how i play CoH, have played CoH and will probably be playing less of it now with cheatmod...

I usually make a defense with Cheatmod and launch waves of enemies at it. :v:

can you play online with cheat mod? me and a buddy might try it out

It gives you a sync error iirc ,but I think the older versions of cheatmod you could.

Also Eastern Front loads quickly for me, so i dunno what the problem is.

it's montherme it's a six player extra large map, it's really awesome with cheatmod.

Wait, question. So if I even just have CheatMod installed, I can't connect to a multiplayer game? If so, how hard is it to uninstall?

no no no no. all you have to do is remove the -modname cheatmod -dev -nomovies from your launcher target and you'll be playing pure vanilla

[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;35380998]no no no no. all you have to do is remove the -modname cheatmod -dev -nomovies from your launcher target and you'll be playing pure vanilla[/QUOTE] Or you could just make a separate shortcut for cheatmod? :v:

Wow, CheatMod is fucking insane.

welp, played eastern front with a friend. We had 3 bots on both our teams (we were against eachother), 2 normal, 1 hard. Long story short, I made 30 pak38s because hes obsessed with tanks, and instead of spamming IS-2s like i expected him to, he spammed about 30-40 T-70s and T-90s. Everything died in 10 seconds. I also ordered the hard bot on my team to attack his base and about 10 stugs, 5 panzer IVs, and 5 Panthers went outside his base and got stuck. My friend literally could not leave his base without being shot. The entire match lasted 2 hours, it was basically a giant clusterfuck.

What's the accent of the M7 Priest Commander?

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;35381154]Or you could just make a separate shortcut for cheatmod? :v:[/QUOTE] well that's what i do but he was asking if it's even possible to play multi with cheatmod installed. and so i answered his question. yes you can, it just can't be enabled

This is what happens when I play this game with a friend. We both make 10 squads of infantry with 5+ infantry damage and we storm the entire base.

Guys tell me, is the Soviet faction still overpowered to normal Axis factions? Last time I played this was hell.
