sigh, no disadvantages and huge advantages.

As I said, horses can be stupid animals.

As for the mod being a huge success, you really need to examine what you call "success".

Have you created something amazing, yes. Would you call Avatar successful if it made 100million, no. The amount of downloads you have achieved do not come close to the quality of the actual product.

Have you taken full advantage of it, definitely not.

In fact, it makes me shudder watching this lurch along. There still isn't an article on GR about it, no mention by Relic of it yet in game or yet on their website. Trying to work out just how to download the proper version, not easy. First Game Launcher buggy, no mention of patches anywhere but these forums, don't take my words as an attack.

I genuinely wish you the best and will enjoy the game but it pisses me off when I struggle to get a game already because of how badly you launched this thing when EF had the potential to be an amazing success.

Edit : I just saw in game that you actually boast about the brits defending stalingrad and the soviets taking normandy and then have the hide to say mirror matches are stupid lol

Yes, COH is a realism based mod...... Guess what.....

COH is a fun game, it's not realistic in any way.

M10's faster than m18's, retreat back to hq, magic men appearing from half tracks.

You are just the artist from what I understand, a decision that has the potential to make the entire mod a success should really be decided by the leader/group, not the artist in the forum saying "no fucking way".

It's about making the mod as fun as possible, the more fun it is, the more people will download it and play it.

People are not going to not play it if you have a single checkbox in a custom match that allows any team games.

On the contrary, thousands of people will download the mod just for mirror match, it's an easy modification that increases the play count significantly for no disadvantage.

With a checkbox, people can decide not to join games with any team mode enabled.

Not only that, it adds a competitive angle that COH has never had.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

General Discussion / Mirror Matches/Allies vs Allies/Axis vs Axis

By adding the ability to have mirror matches and same team fights, you add so much more playability to the game.

People will download your mod in droves.

The only valid arguments for not having it are,

1. Balance Concerns

Who cares about balance for USSR vs Allies, if anyone complains, tell them that you are not balancing it. Same with Mirror matches, they are balanced anyway.

Seriously, think about this.

If you allow mirror matches and allies vs allies and axis vs axis, you will get tens of thousands of new downloads and they will also play the main EF game type meaning more normal automatches so it's a win win for everyone!

2. It's not realistic

It's a fun game, COH is so unrealistic its not funny atm. Don't stop something which would be fun because it's not realistic in an unrealistic game.

3. It ruins automatch

Just stop automatch from allowing these types of matches, custom means custom. Why should you dictate that you should only play these matches, let the gamer choose. If they think it's stupid then don't play it, again, Win Win

SERIOUSLY, PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't need to balance Mirror Matches?

SERIOUSLY, PLEASE DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be obnoxious, people aren't blind, they'll read this if they want. Keep scaling text to stupid sizes and we'll just start deleting your posts - BurroDiablo

Are you serious, without a doubt, relic is incompetent.

Do you realise that they almost killed the entire COH brand by releasing TOV in the hopelessly broken state that it was in.

Do you realise that they haven't released a single balance patch for TOV yet?

They said they were working on a balance patch 10 months ago and we have heard nothing?

Obviously I'm not privy to the coding but that doesn't change the fact that what relic have done with COH is truly incompetent.

Already EF has recognized there are balance issues and have already announced a patch, if only Relic took note.

Anyway, how hard would it be for to allow mirror matches in EF? please reply, thanks

Awesome mod guys.

One thing I think will almost certainly guarantee that everyone downloads EF without a doubt.

Mirror matches, obviously only for custom games but if you add this feature in, no one will use normal COH again. I'm sure people would love to try some mirror matches, from what I understand, it couldn't be that hard to code.

The second thing I think you should consider is approaching the best players and form a balance team for normal COH as well. If you guys regularly converse with the community, I think you guys could do something special here.

Obviously Relic are incompetent, what you guys have done is amazing.

If Relic had half a clue, they would have contacted you and promoted EF when they had that sale on Steam.

Anyway guys, ignore the idiots bagging you out, love your work. Look forward to the next patch.
