Now that the beta is coming to an end, what are your thoughts and opinions on what you have played so far? Personally, I enjoyed this. This is something I have been waiting for since Battlefront 2 back in 2005. I felt like this is going to sum up to be a great game and I can't wait for full release.

What it did well:
1.) Really great immersive experience
2.) Locations are awesome, Hoth looks like Hoth from Empire Strikes Back
3.) Heroes are BADASS... VADER :hansGASM:
many more...

Problems:
1.) Everyone ended up using the same loadouts
2.) Spawn system needs work: spawnkilled way too often

What are your thoughts on this?

I think it's beeing rushed out for the movie and will probably get more features with premium or season pass or whatever. Wait a year or two and it'll be in it's full glory.

Although I couldn't get to play it much due to a few technical problems, I thought it was really great. The immersion in it was top notch, and the Walker Assault mode was AMAZING.
The limited loadouts thing might just be because they didnt want to put too much into the Beta, but I feel like a lot of the fears over the game being bad were dispelled by the beta.

I am going to wait this one out, it feels rushed for me. On top of this, a technical beta 4-5 weeks prior to release seems more like a commercial move than an actual beta test.

Pros:
-Graphics
-Sound, man so good
-Optimization

Cons:
-bugs
-everyone uses the same weapons and cards
-Certain pickups stay far behind the action, needing you to run long distances
-Last rebel spawn on Hoth is just lol. Getting sniped by everything in a trench
-Spawns in general don't seem to make sense
-Flying feels a bit gimmicky, not really smooth and well thought through
-Feels like a battlefield game with 3rd person and Star wars sounds.

And I think that stems from it feeling a bit "casual". Going from modern shooter back to a more classic shooter setup threw a lot of people off.

The star cards ruin it for me. Jetpacks, cyber rifle and personal shields all mess with the flow of the game. Especially jetpacks, since people are able to get up on cliffs and shit.

Heroes also play like shit. Growing up playing moviebattles 2 for jedi academy and my standards for gunner on jedi combat is much higher than this shit. (You know, proper hitboxes https://youtu.be/6Qcgr1XG6vo?t=360 ) Atleast in Battlefront 2 it was a reward for doing well, now it's just a random pick up.

It's also weirdly not faithful to the source material. Luke is wearing his return of the jedi outfit and lightsaber, there are A-wing and Tie Interceptors for some reason even though they didn't exist yet.

Overall I'm disappointed with everything except the sound effects and the time to kill actually feeling decent compared to other modern shooters.

I share all concers.
I could play Battlefield 4 for hours but I was bored with Battlefornt after few matches.
Lack of options when compare to BF4.
Where is crawling? Looking around the corner?
I also don't like that there are no classes.
Everyone can pick everything. Classes require better coordination between different. Someone charge, someone heal, someone snipe.
Here everyone can snipe, everyone can use rocket when pick up etc etc.

Highly dissapointed.

I didn't have any experience of everyone using the same loadouts and cards. I noticed a lot of people use sniper, shield, jetpack, and grenade. The only thing that seemed underused to me was the ability that made your weapon do more damage to vehicles. Its not a bad ability though, it shreds low altitude fighters and ATST's especially if you are using the machine gun. So really I don't think its a problem, because it only takes a couple guys on the team with that card actively trying to go after vehicles for it to make a difference. For blasters they also seemed used pretty equally to me with the exception of the pistol on Hoth and the Empire standard rifle on the other map, which makes total sense that people stick away from the CQB weapon on wide open maps and a slow RoF weapon on a close quarters map, same is true for any game. So those weren't issues at all for me.

The problems I noticed was vehicle sights not calibrated right, sniper scope being slightly off if you use it from 3rd person, and spawns. Unless the rest of the game we haven't seen is terrible I'll probably get it but not until around Christmas so I have time with Fallout ;)

Did anyone notice that the machine gun you unlocked at level 5 looked like an MG42?

Also the Rebel blaster looked a lot like an StG. 44...

I was interested but the $50 DLC season pass before the game even released ain't right. I get DLC can be made after the main game is basically complete and then awaits release, but apparently $50+ worth of content is planned to be made after the game comes out already? Plan an Xpac instead.

Yea it sounds like they were planning Clone Wars as content for one of the 4 dlcs.

Well it was really fun I must say. had some 40 killstreaks with AT-ST's :foreveralone: Bit to easy imo. They should add recoil or something like that.

Imperial was really OP first days of BETA. After few days more and more players on Rebel side knew the Orbital strike pickup could one shot the AT AT walker. Wich made games fairly even in the end.



It was like this:

The beta was rather imbalanced, in both modes. On Hoth the Imperial side was just like "Sit and wait for AT-ST to pilot then Yolo two-shot all their turrets" whilst the 8v8 mode (which was actually in some cases more enjoyable) was "Grab the laser pistol because you can hide behind corners and insta-kill anyone walking towards you."

It was fun, but major issues like spawns, hard and soft counters and balance situations need to be addressed. It felt like a game of extremes, small arms practically wouldn't dent an AT-ST, then a rocket launcher one shots it, or turrets going down super fast to AT-ST lasers.

In a way I enjoyed being rebels more on Hoth because it meant a challenge as you couldn't merely camp the uplinks all day with your cycler rifles.

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

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.
18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.

Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned.
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
Nickbn: @adamírcz might be a better idea to voice this to relic directly than to voice it here, in a shoutbox of a nearly deade fansite #justsaying...

14 Mar 2025, 19:26 PM

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
theekvn: KT just need fuel debuf from 15% to 50%, Ele arc of fire- aim time improve and they are good to go
12 Mar 2025, 03:59 AM
theekvn: and please Rosbone,I know you hate Coh3 to the bone due to your drama with relic, Still, Can you give a proper point of view instead of raging ?.
12 Mar 2025, 03:54 AM
theekvn: you rather go 76 to unity Whizbang 2.0 or go home.
12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: also US tier 4 is 145f and Sherman pen 140 nerf is too much.
12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: Whizbang lock behind CP, meanwhile stuka is techtree progress
12 Mar 2025, 03:51 AM
KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.
07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM
OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....
06 Mar 2025, 16:35 PM
aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
06 Mar 2025, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?
06 Mar 2025, 12:13 PM
OKSpitfire: A powerful, doctrinal unit that outperforms stock stuff? Colour me shocked! :P
06 Mar 2025, 10:49 AM
Willy Pete: Cool you wanna lose your stock lategame arty too then?
06 Mar 2025, 03:20 AM
Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. :rofl:
05 Mar 2025, 20:27 PM
Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
