Blizzards are cool.
Ok I got to stop lieing.
The cold tech is just annoying. The fact that you cant see far is great.

Dang son,it just stops the game for a few minutes.

All you need is jump into a house, enjoying superior LoS in blizzard, or use the maphack HT/222.


That provides better vision, but it's still drastically reduced from non-blizzard conditions.

Personally I think that blizzards aren't annoying and are actually good unless it happens like 3-4 times in a game(30-40mins). That's when the realism is off and it gets annoying. I mean why would 3-4 blizzards happen at one place. If I were the Stavka or the OKW I won't even bother about that place.

If you can play the game on summer maps well and not in blizzards, snow settings on low makes a huge difference. If you just barely run the game to begin with that's not Relic's fault.

Every game I had where there was a blizzard, I thought "my opponent couldn't be dumb enough to attack and cap points during this".

And every time I was proven wrong. That's what pissed me off the most about blizzards. STOP capping my points in a blizzard, assholes.


Are you complaining that they do this and they fail (in which case why?)


Or are you complaining that they do this and they suceed?

it add little on the strategic value. cant use planes, less vision ...etc

i would like to see when you ligth the camp fire the enemy can see the fire from distance, so you give position..

all that add strategic value in game is nice .

yes because everyone knows during a blizzard you're suppose to just get out a book and read for 2 or 3 minutes. :)

Blizzards reward active, aggressive, good play and punish bad players.

Nothing more, nothing less.

You don't have to love them, but if you can't use them, you're bad.

There's much more to it than that. Blizzards benefit armies with short ranged oriented weapons, allow tanks to bumrush AT guns from the front in situations where this would be impossible without the blizzard, makes avoiding vehicle snares harder, makes MGs far less useful, makes camping buildings for vision even more potent, thus benefitting armies with good anti garrison power, among many other things.

So blizzards do affect unit balance and usefulness, and hence affect faction balance overall.

Blizzards was just annoying gimmick that didn't add much to strategic depth.
as Strummingbird said ^
I would add difficulty in figting with combined arms vs mobile mechanized army,
game kind of winding down to capping point or two, if you can get to it without freezing or going around with tank to crush flame pits or see if you can find some infantry finding somewhere to massacre.
Not to mention numerous instance of game crashing because not everyone's PC can handle extra information processing

I don't miss blizzards at all

Blizzards were the biggest shit Relic ever dump. Glad to see them removed.

blizzards were not deleted just incase anyone is confused on this manner. they however aren't in some maps. a lot (if not all) of the newer ones do not have them.
