[Speculation thread] So what's next Relic?

Hey folks, a few things:

1. We are very aware of your thoughts on War Spoils. It's something still under development, but I do not have a lot I can share with you at this time.
2. Money spent on marketing efforts does come at a 'cost' to feature development. They're different budgets.
3. Once there is an update on the War Spoils situation, I will let you know.

Early-war factions would be cool, but they'd need to enable a comprehensive "random faction" system that allows enabling / disabling different factions you want to play for easier matchmaking. And even then matchmaking would be split between people who like early-war and people who like late-war.

You think it's hard to find a game with AB <-> CD, imagine it as AB <-> CD | E <-> F

what's next? probably fixing the USF supermen bug

It's one of the game-breakingest bugs CoH ever had, I'm sure it's going to be a top priority.

I guess I'll post it so people can quote this later.

• A risk-like map is being introduced to multi-player as a meta game which will encourage more even faction distribution during matchmaking.
  
• No new factions are planned
  
• 1 commander remains for Osteer, 2 for USA, and 2 for OKW. No more commanders for Soviet.
  
• Focus is now on Dawn of War 3

So,
The new year has been and gone.
Ardennes Assault is well and truly out the door.
And CoH2 has racked up another exciting set of hideous balances.

So now it's time start speculating about what balance beasties will be introduced to run the game ragged next, will be introduced next into the game.

My guess -

Italy

Brits vs Germans

Half fascist Italian/Half German force

Weak early game infantry, strong late game fallschirmjagers (think Cassino)
OP armour (because that's what always happens with the Axis) Panzer IIIs with rapid firing 7.5cm shortbarrels, lots of armour. Non-doctrinal Elefants...
Semovente 105s (similar to the StuH

Brits

Indian and Gurkha troops, generally rubbish (as usual with allied troops, whatever the reality)

Strong non-doctrinal artillery

Awesomely powerful Sherman Firefly (or if they really want to mix things up, a Challenger)

As well as the Bren gun carrier to hard counter the Kubelwagen so all allied players have to buy it.
