Isn't it considerably worsened by the fact that hardly anyone plays big team modes like 3v3 though?
On the contrary, there were some statistics here. And the more players in the mode, the more people play it. So there are more people playing 3v3 and 4v4 than 1v1 and 2v2, but the whole game is balanced around 1v1 and not the much more popular 4v4. |
CD Projekt Red also shot itself in the foot, they took away the project of next gen porting the Witcher from the Russian studio Saber Interactive Russia, because it is Russian, although it is part of the international Embracer Group. Years of work are simply thrown away. Saber Interactive Russia was fully engaged in this project without the participation of CD Projekt. Saber Interactive Russia had a lot of work with the Red Engine, at the same time, CD Project has few people who can work with the Red Engine and the studio moves to Unreal Engine, this greatly affected the quality of Cyberpunk. |
"angling" your tank does nothing
always keep your front part of the tank facing the enemy guns, if the sides are exposed, they can hit the rear armor and damage you easier
In the German Alpha mission, this didn't matter either, there were constant "flank" and "rear" hits even if the tank was strictly frontal to the gun, it would be unpleasant to see this on the release. |
It was the right move to give the M-42 a buckshot shot, and an absolutely stupid decision to nerf the firing range to fist impact range. It was much wiser to leave the distance, but to make a buckshot shot would have been limited in time.
But speaking in general, the M-42 is the same vestige of the initially bad design of the USSR from Relic. Penals, M-42 is the fifth paw of the dog, unnecessary units that remained after this redesign and which do not make sense. |
wasnt that the 3v3 camp-style map? I could have sworn there were no blizzards
The trailer for this map was on November 4th, 2013, while there was still a blizzard. And I remember a blizzard when I played this map. But I didn't find an early gameplay footage to test it for sure. |
Lazur Factory also had Blizzard, but this map was removed a long time ago |
Black Prince Production Volume: 6 prototypes
Black Prince Combat History: None
VS
Sturmtiger Production Volume: About 22.
Sturmtiger Combat History: Western Front, Ardennes Offensive.
Tell me who is coping now, seriously.
Eastern Front, Warsaw Uprising. The only thing wrong with him is that he was officially called Sturmmörser and not Sturmtiger. Otherwise, this is a tank that participated in the hostilities and even destroyed three Shermans with one shot. And not some fictitious one like the Black Prince. |
My main complaint against sabotage units and partly against paratroopers is the inability to re-deploy from a house or parachute. And if paratroopers are useful in direct combined arms combat, then partisans have no value except for a sudden strike from the rear. Heck, even way back in the day, Relic had a to re-drop Space Marines on drop pods in Warhammer: Dawn of War.
or at least when the Partisans join with the main troops then they could be reorganized into infantry units (as it was in reality) as Relic did in CoH3 when the Grenadiers are reorganized into the Panzer Grenadiers and you do not need to buy a new unit. The Partisans could reorganize into a five-man Infantry Squad (and get the skin of the Conscripts) and for example have an MG-42 since they had a lot of experience with German weapons as Partisans. |
The worst part is, they are giving us extremely inferior graphics (plastic soldiers with terrible animations and borderlands filter) and the game will most likely have less FPS than COH2.
In the alpha test, I had a disgusting performance, much worse than CoH2. Yes, I have a much better computer now, but not everyone can afford a more powerful computer, and even my friends in the Alpha test with a more powerful PC had significant performance problems. And this is against the backdrop of not very pleasant and outstanding graphics. |
Half my friends list plays COH2 (got about 400 steam friends) and not a single person pre-ordered the game. The general consensus is wait for Steam sale because the only new feature that they added to the game is the ability to pause while making the graphics and UI worse.
Yes, even with lousy animation. When I watched the trailer for the US faction and saw the animation of the paratroopers, my first association was that they were plastic soldiers and their parachutes were plastic, no weight of a soldier. |
