Can someone enlighten me with regards to the "XP" system?

How does this effect mulitplayer?

Do players have an advantage if they have more xp etc?

I really hope not :/

Not sure if I'd be breaking the NDA going into too much detail.

But the rewards seem minor, mostly related to different abilities (rather than better ones) + camo for your units and a few minor passive bonuses.
 
relic should postpone this for another 2 years start from scratch and build a true sequel. this is embarrassing. i'm sure they had limited budget but sega owns them now.
 
I have only had one game so far and have mixed feelings. Still feels like COH but doesn't seem to bring much new to the table. Not sure it is worth the £40 but I am hoping it improves

not impressed with graphics and performance (ran it on a 650m on my laptop) going to try it on a GTX680 and see how it fares.

Everyone in coh chat is saying coh2 is terrible too cartoon like and worse than coh 1 ? it's not surprising is it ? none of those that made coh1 are even working on coh2 are they ?

hmmm, I'm interested more in the minor passive bonuses, like what they are and what they do. I was hoping that they would not make the game it was one of the things i hated about coho.

They should have kept the playing field level across the board like in coh 1 and not offer rewards and bonuses to those who have more time to play :/

Gutted hearing this, another game I was really excited for that I wont be purchasing on release. /sigh
 
Performance has actually improved dramatically since alpha which is nice on my 5850, the alpha while it looked rather nice was slow and laggy.

I still don't see what the point of having an unlock system is although it really doesn't add too much currently its just skins and bulletins which are very small buffs to a selection of units.

So far i'm impressed anyway it looks and feels great although my only fear is that blizzards may cause infantry to be rendered useless on snow maps.

The lead designer was killed a few years ago in a car crash so it will look different.
 
The passive skills are like 2% accuracy boost to a single unit, and they are very limited on how many you can have active at one time, nothing to write home about or be concerned about.

To all the people worried, don't be, this game is amazing.

As a very long time CoH fan, I was worried, but no longer, the game is amazing.

Features like real time fields of view and weather have a massive impact on the game, and open up some very very advanced tactics.

Things feel weighty, no longer will an "out of control" tank just explode at the first thing it hits, it will now smash through anything weak enough to not stop it, and then smash into a building causing massive damage.

Vehicle damage is VERY well detailed now, no longer does it feel like you are just whittling down a health bar.


Please guys, don't worry, wait until you've played it.

This is COH and SOME!! Trust me, it's really, really, reallllly good.

Seems like there are a few people around playing this? I preordered on steam so have access, although haven't got round to installing yet. But it's the weekend so can get started tonight :D

Is there a friends/contacts system in place? Might be fun to play against some people on here?
