Yes, it does state that he previously was a Game Designer at Relic. But his occupation right now states that he is Multiplayer Designer at Relic. So maybe he just changed his Linkedin Profile?
Chill guys!

I would be surprised if Relic was doing this on a massive scale. Considering they just flew all of their staff to Europe to showcase CoH2 and other games at the PC gamer weekend.

The SEGA staff we all met and have been talking to since are all saying how impressed they are that Coh2 has doubled in size statistically this year etc...

I would be very.. very shocked if this was something serious.

Automated testing is good for stability and performance, but a good QA teams pass is essential with large changes to content or code.

Build engineers are often used when a title is multi-platform. Ideally one wouldn't be necessary for Relic, however without knowing their architecture, who can say.

A build engineer is used to develop the tools to automate the overall deployment, they use a build engineer to sit around all day 'wait for a build' and then go and do some manual stuff. They just develop some frameworks/tools that allow automation for that.

In regards to your first point, yeah I agree, but not sure why its relevant to anything I said.

Just waiting for Kyle (who is sadly not fired) to swoop in, give a statement and we can all move on with our internet lives.
(edit : there is some sarcasm in the previous sentence, can you spot it? )

Are you being sarcastic about Kyle Von Kluge? I remember you saying he did a good job with the means he had at his disposal.

Ofcourse I'm being sarcastic, Kyle's been the best CM CoH2 had so far

This thread....

Basically like yelling fire in a crowded room. No evidence, but awash in speculation.

ITT a bunch of people who have never worked or somehow forgot how this works talk about brad geting fired

Wouldn't be surprised if someone at relic did get fired. The last few patches have been hilariously bad in terms of bugs. People get fired and layed off all the time, jesus guys.

Jesus didn't get fired, he got screwed. Or nailed.

Damn, if I ever want attention for a certain topic, I'll name my topic title 'Layoffs at Relic and the future of COH2'.
Seems to draw a lot of attention.

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol
Today, 01:34 AM

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

Today, 00:16 AM

dasheepeh: it was an honor guys

Yesterday, 20:34 PM

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

Yesterday, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

Yesterday, 20:19 PM

dasheepeh: no comic sans font for april 1st this year?

Yesterday, 02:53 AM

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
Yesterday, 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
Last Thursday, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
Last Thursday, 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.
Last Thursday, 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.
Last Thursday, 09:30 AM

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

Last Thursday, 04:31 AM

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.

Nickbn: and again someone else replies. I mean come on guys. Give @adamírcz a chance
22 Mar 2025, 14:00 PM

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.
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.
18 Mar 2025, 16:47 PM

Rosbone: #RelicModdedEchoChamber
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM

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...
16 Mar 2025, 16:36 PM

webdesign-muenchen-w: @Rosbone it is sick
14 Mar 2025, 22:09 PM

aerafield: @adamírcz aren't the first two disconnects free every day?
14 Mar 2025, 19:26 PM

Rosbone: It is so unlike Relic to punish its fans and community.
14 Mar 2025, 12:07 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!

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.

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.
04 Mar 2025, 02:53 AM

Soheil: Coh2 is dead , full of map hackers , and lelic knows that but ...
