I went for option three, Blizzards could be interesting if their impact was dialed back a bit.

I would like to see a rework. I love the idea of fightting against the winter. But is always a break time and slows the action.

What about vision reduced and RoF reduced? or what about decreasing the amount of systematic blizzards to 1 only in the whole game?

Fine if dialed back in either effect or frequency.

i like the idea if having weather it makes the game more dynamic as well as hampering combat effectiveness for both belligerents but as stated previously it should be toned down a little

As long as I don't have to deal with troops freezing to death I will be happy.

I like it as it is in the game. Adds an interesting dynamic to gameplay and was intended to showcase the brutal conditions of the Eastern Front. Just because Relic has expanded to Western Front territory doesn't mean that we should forget about the Eastern Front roots.

I think the blizzards should be kept in the game. They bring a fun dynamic that; if dialed back to only happening maybe one time a match and not causing troops to die, could be enjoyable. The lack of vision and maybe RoF decrease could be just what it needs.

I voted for the third option in the poll.
The part that can offer neat and aggressive gameplay should stay--the reduced vision. Infantry can take good advantage of this to sneak around etc!

The rest can go home. No arty / planes unequally reduces the capacity of certain commanders / factions over the others. Not that maps don't do that by their nature anyways :D
Edit: dang it, now I'm conflicted because of my last line.

Custom games, sure! Let people have fun with weather effects and RNG. It is a curse for automatch.

Re-work would be best. Seriously, in-game blizzards would be an awesome addition if they didn't cause such a serious impact on everything in-game. Same goes with mud/deep snow. :foreveralone:

Sadly no rain. :guyokay:

I think blizzards are great. They help recreate the great German winter offensive of 1941, when many thousands of Soviets succumbed to the cold and Germans had no problem moving in the deep snow (unlike the Russians who had obviously never experienced harsh winters before then). Blizzards are almost as good at the total air superiority that the Luftwaffe (CAS) enjoyed in the final days of WWII. /endsarcasm

I don't really believe that anyone at Relic is a closet neo-Nazi, but the way that Canada's Relic distorts history almost makes me feel good about US public schools.............

I love realism. The more realism is reflected in a game, the more I will like the game. Who whines about blizzards should have to learn to deal with them because, for the hundreth time, COH2 should not be based just on APM. Player skill should be tested also around strategies and knowledge on when to attack and when to stay put. Player should learn how to adapt his strategy depending on map. And so on.

That is why while I admit that deep snow, blizzards, mud, ice, etc, are annoying features, I also think that a player should be prepared for such conditions. In life, you can't chose the moment when it's most convenient for you that certain things happen, you will have to adapt in order to progress and survive.

So learn to adapt.

Then if you want realism, make all Soviet units immune to blizzard instead of the OKW (who serverd on the western front) and make most Soviet units immune to deep snow, instead of Sturmpios.

if you want a semblance of realism go play Men of War.

CoH2 is about as arcade-y and fictional as it gets.

Most of the time I don't agree with JohnnyB but now he is Goddamn right. If you want to take away everything that makes Coh unique go ahead, but you will turn the game into a Starcraft WW2 ripoff.

Weather effects are great. Adds to the atmosphere and provide tactical options.

But please get rid of the freezing effects. Not only does it create annoying gameplay, but the UI-Icons for it look really crappy.

aerafield: @LimaOscarMike I would say nowadays is a decent time to try CoH3. If you loved CoH2 however, there is a solid chance you're gonna dislike CoH3
21 Apr 2025, 17:04 PM
LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?
19 Apr 2025, 05:10 AM
Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.
19 Apr 2025, 04:43 AM
Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

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:

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.

adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic
14 Mar 2025, 10:45 AM
Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
13 Mar 2025, 20:00 PM
Rosbone: They dont care about Coh3 or Coh in general. They are just trying to grab cash by ripping off the small user base they have.
13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
Rosbone: Just making mistake after mistake after mistake.
13 Mar 2025, 19:57 PM
Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
Rosbone: For a thing they could fix in minutes. Literally minutes.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: I am just saddened how Relic keeps hurting themselves by not fixing 5 minute things like menus. Why anger users with stuff that could be fixed in minutes???
13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:48 PM
OKSpitfire: You can rage as often as you like btw, you usually manage to make it pretty funny.
12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM
Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points.
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.
12 Mar 2025, 04:07 AM
theekvn: + 33% dmg rear hit was best deal ever.
12 Mar 2025, 04:00 AM

12 Mar 2025, 03:59 AM

12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
