Thread: Travesty?9 Dec 2013, 11:28 AM After a 3-month pause all the old exploits and cheesy quick wins linger. Without going to any rants I want to tell Relic, its time for one of their biggest fans to throw the towel for good. Hope relic listens to fans the next episode. Be back in coh3. Ps. Players come play them old coh1-mods, they still retain some of the old fun In: Lobby
Thread: CoH 2 the Single Player What the ...21 Jul 2013, 16:51 PM The campaign is utter shit. The thematics are difficult - 2 evil factions warring one another, you dont want to be on either side. Then you are just given the russians, no possibility to choose side, thats not very good. -->Since the only plot in the whole game is following through the eastern front battles in ww2, would be nice to see it from both fronts. And there was plenty of shit on both sides too. How about a little alternal history and possibility of winning ww2 as germans and then in final cut scene some grim scene of " third reich peace". I like the role of small time player in a bigger army, but how about a little roleplaying and being able to choose if im good or evil? Helping the local civilians etc deciding to save the partizans against a prime-commandment etc. Or if you go down the line on being evil there should be civilians shot and corpses of civilians everywhere, disease piles of the dead etc. Now youre only told in numbers how many people died in the battles. These order 227s etc whatever mainly feel pathetic when all the really evil stuff isnt even mentioned. --> thematically I wouldve prefered someting like you had in single player campaign of Myth the fallen lords - a really desperate journal of the crazy stuff going on and then some glimmers of hope. And the game should be a lot more gruesome at least on text since now you get a surface-polished account on what happened in the war. For most europeans (excluding the russians) this game is a very badly simplified story of the eastern front (we read european history in school so we know it pretty well). Wasnt really expecting anything much related to story-telling, but this game did manage to bring out a campaign that belongs to the nineties --> no interesting characters, no character-relations, no villains, no continuum through campaign (at the very least vet on surviving units hellou??), no plot-twisters (well without a plot its hard), no between mission company set-up, no nothing!!! Only advancement on "plot" is on terrible cut scenes with bad voice-acting. --> would it ever have been easier to set up a mission-briefing between missions wehre you could talk to troops, play some war-time dice, decide which units to get in next missions, read a little backgrounds, receive a letter from home etc.. Wouldve built up some atmosphere to start in rubble-tents with misery everywhere and ending up in a proper war camp with exhilirated people at the gates of Berlin.. Then the missions... Way too easy and no chance to lose. Only bonus-objectives are "destroy radar" and you get a "badge", wow so interesting. How about a school-kid running to camp telling theres a long coat axis officer kidnapping the school-girls. How about for reward them showing you to a hidden cache of weapons, whatever anything! Warmap with locations on which mission to choose next? .Wheres the base-to-base battle? People love building bunkers and base-defences then advancing on enemy base like regular rts. This game doesnt even show the normal online play on campaign. Only have to look at the OTHER RTS games to see what they did and copy it, but no if you dont want to make an interesting game, no one is forcing you... The campaigns on original coh were already bad, this was utter horse-dung, worst campaign ive played in a long time. I came up with this many ideas to make it better in 5 mins... People dont come online when the single player is dung so they never even get to see the really awesome feature - the online part. They will not buy a coh3 based on this campaign. -a disgruntled fan In: Lobby
Thread: Infantry and tanks17 Jul 2013, 01:07 AM More than single balance-issues I dislike the whole infantry/tank battle now. Especially the faust/at-nade vs tanks needs to be changed. As it is now you get a 100% hit, sometimes from magical lenghts, do no damage, but automatically cause engine dmg. I propose that the faust/at nade do good dmg vs light vehicles and tanks (t70 and ostwind and the artypieces etc), some dmg vs medium tanks and rather not at all dmg vs heavy tanks (like now). A t70 needs to die from 3 fausts. (getting fausted 3 times meant you rushed it alone to enemy horde anyway).((For example you lose a game if the first t70 manages to get behinfd your at gun - you cant kill the tank with infantry (even if you managed to get a shreck-squad + pak, the t70 will jsut kill all..) and then thres the attack move on paks so that you cant even reman the pak later cause its blown up. And so great gg again with just 1 move.)) Then I propose the atnade/faust do engine dmg automatically only to the ligth vehicles - sc/ht, almost always do ngine dmg vs light tanks (like 90%), rather less do engine dmg vs medium tanks (33% or smt) and almost no change to do engine dmg vs a heavy tank. Of course if it can be incorporated where the hit came from and how much health the tank had and then the likelyhood for engine dmg would be smaller or greater - full health tiger no chance for engine dmg, but low health tiger and flanking at nade = engine dmg/ engine destroyed. The lenght of at nade is now too far / or the frontal penetration of at nades needs to be lowered, id rather have the latter if possible. Now u can just hooray directly toward a fucking big tank, throw an at nade at the frontal 1meter thich metal armor and 100% engine dmg. What a letdown. Also light tanks need to lose ability to crush infantry. its stupid (t70). The ramtank is discussed elsewhere, then each tank has some problems almost and a topic. Now its just not giving a good feeling in general that rushing early tech clown cars, flamerhts, t70s or ramtanks will win you the game in a single swoop as they have limited counters by that time, especially if you didnt do that well early game, while getting a big mean heavy tank later at the game doesnt have at all the same impact.
