So, i've been following this thread for a while and i would disagree with the notion of 3v3 and 4v4 being no fun at all (otherwise they wouldn't have such a huge playerbase). Now first i should add that i play 3v3 mainly, also i don't play with random teammates.
Now i guess the main reason that many people find 3v3s and 4v4s unfun is the massive ammount of artillery that can be brought to the field. I would agree with this, but i also think that artillery has the same weaknesses in 3v3 and 4v4 as in any game mode. This weakness, as most of you know is that it takes popcap and as such takes away from your field presence in terms of infantry and tanks and if you can't get enough value out of the artillery peace you are probably going to loose the game.
Another thing are commander ablities like a scouting flare combined with a stuka divebomb or a sector assault. These are certainly strong, but i might just as well pull them off in a 2v2 and people aren't calling those unfun, are they?
And for the bunker point that was brought up in the last few posts... just build an at gun, or use smoke and demo charges and just walk up to it, it's not that difficult, three shots or one little 45 muni boompack and 150 mp and 60 munis are down the drain. Great for stalling, but not good enough to keep a halfways solid player off a point if he is determined to get there.
Anyway, this has gone on for long enough, but i just want to add that the game is probably in the best state of balance it has ever been and that, in my opinion translates into the bigger game modes too.
I agree with that.
And yes the random matchmaker is making thing worst, because :
Teammate matchmaking in 2+ is base on some rank that is moving. So if you got unlucky enough you will be matched with even worst teammate and once you have digged you grave its hard to get out of it.
also remember that the Axis have better of the bat cynergy.
So my solution is base the number used by the matchmaker to get teammates on the lifetime total amount of victory
in ranked automatch.And one you reach a certain number you are now put in pool of real veterans where your random teammates will now be recruited.
That would help a lot. RElIC are you there ?
