hi, after having played like 60 ranked matches and many more unranked, i have concluded that curently there are like 2-3 game breaking bugs, the ones that make you win or lose a game.
First of all i want to point out that the nature of DOW2 and its fast pace mean that the first 1-2 encounters probably make out the game result..
So lets begin. More frequent bug is the Melta bomb one, it has been noted on this forum but i have to mention it as its beeing one of the worst. Assaukt marines dont actually throw the grenade, the timer resets, the energy is down but no damage hapens.. I dont have to mention how this makes a difference in a ranked game... :-S
second, unit shooting priorities.. Last night i had a match in which a missle squads while there was a razorback in front of them and in the heat of the most critical battle, decided to stop firing at the razor and threw a missle to a nearby enrgy generator!!?? i manually cklicked at them to shoot the razor, but at the last moment it moved out of their LOS and they decided not to persue it but to turn and shoot another lost missle to the enemy's commander who was fighting nearby.. The result was that the razor returned back instanly with like only 100 health and finished off my units.. This bug costed me the games most critical battle and 99% the game itself.. :-(
3rd place, another bug.. Stuck units.. in all my games i had like dozens of instances were units (more frewuently tac marines and dreadnoughts) while melleeing sudenly freeze and do nothing.. the enemy slaughters them and they just sit there FROZEn entirely.. they do no damage but receive the enmies.. AGAIN I DONT HAVE TO MENTION how this affected several of my battles-games.. :-S
4th, this is a minor bug but can sometimes prove anoying, when a unit exits a building, and althouigh you can issue it an order, it just exits the building and stays therew. you have to wait for the exit animation to finish, the unit to stand still in front of the building and then to give it the order..
these are the most critical and game breaking bugs for me. if i find new ones ore remember more i will repost-update this thread.
I just want to make clear that these are bugs that decide on their own a whole battle and even a ranked game!
