My thoughts on the H2H and CS.

[Mr Grumpy]

First i would like to be clear that i have never played CS so i may not have all the facts about how the CS titles function or the differences between the old and new versions.

However CS seems to be going through the same denial about the H2H that we had at CM until recently.

The H2H system is far from perfect, but it does provide a framework for scenarios to be tested and approved if the will is there to do it.

The facts are that testing projects have been very successful on the OpC, CM and TOAW ladders.

Until this year i was bombarded with posts, PM's and emails from CM players who also said the H2H system could not work, these players all had one thing in common that they would upload a scenario and then take no further part in the testing process imagining the "testing pixie" would come along and organise this for them. :chin:

Now these players scenarios have been removed a new band of CM designers have come along prepared to put in a little leg work in order to push their scenarios along, result..........we have seen several CM scenarios pass through testing with several more on the way, the H2H system has not been changed since i was told it would not work, what has changed is the willingness of players to put some effort in. :soap:

So i believe with some effort the H2H could work at CS just as it does on other ladders, but at the moment that vital ingredient is sadly missing. ;)
