If that works against someone in CoH you're playing against morons. Try that with infantry and they'll get suppressed by machine guns and then destroyed by whatever the enemy chooses. Use vehicles and if they have a brain they'll see it coming and just flank you with some AT, and then you just wasted valuable resources and possibly lost the game if you tried rushing and screwed up. That's not getting into cover and the myriad of abilities that would smurf up your (Paratroopers with Recoilless Rifles, artillery strikes, sticky bombs, bombing/strafing runs...) It may be a "commonly accepted tactic" among whoever you pay with, but it doesn't mean it's anywhere close to good or what the average player would intelligently do.


Anyway, SCII looks very fun. I've been replaying SC1 on my laptop while waiting for my desktop I bought used from family to get sent and arrive. After that I'll probably pick it up, I love RTS's and always are looking for more fun ones.
