Company of heroes online must of sucked some money up and was bizzarely dumped before it got out of beta

I actually thought it was a desperate cash grab and they figured it wasn't going to go gangbusters after they revamped the P2W for CoHO. The army buff system they brought over to CoH2 was hideously overpowered in the beta and at launch before the balance team made them largely unnoticeable. The mishmash of useless doctrines is another aspect that felt like it was from the THQ days.

The biggest problem with CoH2 is that it's not optimised very well. The balance may always be all over the place in relic games but CoH2 runs terrible for something that doesn't look much better than CoH1 (the CoH1 aesthetic is better despite its age).

I'm cautiously optimistic about DoK if only because there hasn't been a good RTS in a while. Act of Aggression and Grey Goo didn't grab me with their previews but I know people who got burned hoping for lively MP. :(

I would be fine with a rolling, unreliable narration like in Call of Juarez Gunslinger for a spinoff or in-between game. :allears:
