sigh, it's not a realism mod, it's a fun game, the more fun the better.

You don't need to balance Mirror Matches?

Who cares about balance for USSR vs Allies, if anyone complains, tell them that you are not balancing it.

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!

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

This is not an alternate history mod, stop trying to persuade us to turn it into one. No matter how many time this is suggested the answer will remain the same... no fucking way.

That must be why I can play as Soviets making a cooperative attack with Americans on German forces in Lyon. Because that happened in 1944.

There is a difference between Soviets and Americans fighting together and Soviets and Americans fighting each other. The former is plausible, the latter is some sick person's wet dream.

It's also something we spent 50 years planning to do.

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.

Personally, I'd rather they spent their time working out the balance issues instead of contemplating the idea of changing cowboys and indians to cowboys and cowboys...

"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"."

He's probably the only team member who had anything to say other than "pffft..." Seriously, the mod IS a success already. Would the idea be neat? Sure. A staple implementation that determines the overall success of the MoD? Hardly.

That's because he's the most 'tactful dev' we have...others would have been more 'vocal' about this suggestion lol

On another note, if you play 1v1 automatch I think you can be paired vs US or brits  :P

Nice try, but Burro is one of the more senior members. Besides, it is practically the voice of the whole team saying "no fucking way".

I just want to re-enact the Second Battle of Berlin in 1948, when the Soviets blockaded Berlin and the West (who had decided aerial resupply was infeasible) responded by attempting to reopen the land route by force.

But you reply by calling me a sick person :(

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
