The March 31st patch introduced changes to several existing maps, but with no details about what those changes are. This thread is meant to collect as many details on those changes as possible.

The maps that have been refined are:

(6-8) Hill 331
(2-4) Minsk Pocket
(2-4) Moscow Outskirts
(2-4) Semoskiy Winter
(2-4) Semoskiy
(2) La Gleize


-The fuel points on Semoskiy have been moved to the corners of the map so that they are no longer adjacent to each players' base.

-Two large buildings have been removed from La Gleize, one from each side of the central area (near the side VPs).


What other changes to existing maps have you spotted since the March 31st patch?

Hill 331, from official forums:



Good news: The mud has been completely removed, and the map feels brilliant now. It's balanced, fun, and offers plenty of opportunities for early and late game. Why not add this map back to the automatch roaster?

I think moscow summer has one house at the top-right side removed if am not mistaken.

Hill 331, from official forums:



good, I think mud could be used well in a way that actual adds something to the game, but just placing it everywhere like that was stupid.

Thanks, wasn't sure if map changes qualified as balancing or not.

the mud works well on general mud because there's plenty of non-mud spots to work through. the problem with hill331 was that it was almost everywhere you could actually walk.

Mud gone from Hill331 (a classic map!) is great news.

They moved the south spawn on Road to Kharkov (1v1) closer to the cutoff instead of being jammed in the corner of the map.

So what Relic hopefully learned from this, is that cluttering maps with houses and ground obstacles may look cool, but hinders game-play. LEARN RELIC AND IMPROVE!

Minsk Pocket: The cutoff points between the bases and the respecting fuel points have been moved and covered with sight and shotblockers so it is possible to decap them without being shot by the base mgs. This is a requested change from the map poll and should improve the strategical possibilities on this map. Also, the strategical points in the southeastern corner have been moved and it is now possible to attack the VP there from more than one angle.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?
25 Mar 2025, 18:27 PM
Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.

Nickbn: and again someone else replies. I mean come on guys. Give @adamírcz a chance

Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...
20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
