Thread: Does 4vs4 deserve more attention from relic? (CoH3?)6 Jun 2018, 14:52 PM Just because i'm curious: What is the best 4on4 map that is part of the current rotation? Because back in the days when i have played with friends we had played for the most parts Lienne Forest and La Gleize (any sometimes Red Ball) only because we dont got any other map by matchmaker.

Thread: Does 4vs4 deserve more attention from relic? (CoH3?)5 Jun 2018, 20:55 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jun 2018, 19:03 PMSander93 What about Montargis Region? That was a pretty fun map in CoH1. Maybe experiment with a different resource layout like mirrored strategic/muni/fuel points so one team doesn't get the majority of resource income by holding only just a portion more of the map anymore. Basing on my Montargis games i would say that the map is too big for CoH 2. Perhaps another ress layout would help but i think the map would need more adjustments. In: COH2 Gameplay

We could crowdfund mapmakers to create some brand new flashy 4v4 maps. Well. Crowdfunding mapmakers wont help because u need Relic to import the maps into the rotation So you should talk to Relic first. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Does 4vs4 deserve more attention from relic? (CoH3?)31 May 2018, 21:17 PM The maps... it is always the old story. So i wont comment on maps. For 4on4: To be honest i think 4on4 is already the biggest mode CoH should add. 5on5 or bigger would be a nightmare. The best would be separated/scalling balancing for player vs player modes but i'm afraid that it would end in a amount of work that Relic cant handle (neither in CoH2 nor in a future CoH3).

Thread: 4v4 map pool24 May 2018, 14:37 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 23:27 PMRosbone I would say ANY map would be better than Lorch Assault. Maybe we need to do a Seasonal Map Cup for 3v3 and 4v4 maps. At least then we may draw some players for testing I vote Rommel runs it Here is my first map submission Rommel: Road To Arnhem It will need some work of course Basing on Tric's experience i'm not interested in any contest hosting. It's not worth it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 4v4 map pool23 May 2018, 21:58 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 21:53 PMWreathlit Noël I would never expect them to actually add any new maps. I was pleasantly surprised when the few we have were tweaked. I just like to think that some day we can get rid of the real bad ones like Lorch. Fun fact: Relic isnt improving those maps The community members are improving the maps. But that is another story. To be honest i have idea about the number of 4on4 maps that is in rotation at the moment. But i'm always a fan of new content/new maps. CoH has a solide wb. It is - more or less - shame that Relic wont use those resources to improve CoH. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 4v4 map pool23 May 2018, 21:38 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 21:32 PMWreathlit Noël The 4v4 map pool could really do with a bit of a shake-up. Many tolerable but not that great. They are, at the very best, not Shittard Summer. The problem is that u need way more time for the 4vs4 maps compared to the competitive based 1on1/2on2 maps. Relic wont bring new maps because they wont work on maps. I cant see any 4on4 map contest (u would need a lot of time, amount of maps in the last contest was limited (i think there were 8 mappers?), feedback was limited and bad (by players and devs) and it was a nightmare of organisation). So for new maps you could try to find content at the workshop. Perhaps you can try to get in contact with Relic to bring workshop maps ingame but i think most of the content creators have already stopped playing/working with CoH. So i wont expect any new maps in the future... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH 3 CONFRIMED?!11 May 2018, 20:28 PM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2018, 20:08 PMRedT3rror Because the italian army was utter crap (they lost against GREECE!!!!). They couldn't even capture a tiny island in front of their coast. If you wanted to to balance an italian army(or french), you'd have to nerf all other factions beyond recognition or buff the Italians to ridiculous levels. Germany has lost the war. Since 1944 they havent launch any successful large scale offensive against the allies or soviets. So lets buff germans? Is that your hole point? The reasons why the italian army hadnt launched any successful offensive (or achieved a strategic victory) is far beyond the simulation and/or calculation level of CoH. Guys. That is a video game. I dont understand why u are so focused on this common places (italy was a crap army that had no weapons that could be used for CoH). There is no gameplay based reason against those kind of a faction.

Thread: COH 3 CONFRIMED?!11 May 2018, 19:57 PM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2018, 19:31 PMKatitof Because unless you apply early war concept(M3 Lee heaviest allied tank, that awkward bulky thing with short gun or MAYBE P3 as heaviest axis tank), then these factions will not be able to compete in any matter in late game. No, anti tank guns will not be relevant and everyone, axis included would have their own PTRS for infantry AT. It could be done, but its not going to feature literally anything WW2 iconic. So because Italy had no super heavy tank like the Maus they are not suitable for a competitive rts game? Jeah. That is great. Eliminate a interesting faction because they havent build a 40+ metric ton tank. Back in early days of "Western Front Armies" the US Forces dont had a heavy Pershing tank (hey, how much Pershing tanks fought in ww2? Oh jeah. 20 Pershings...) and it worked (from my point of view). With the P.26/40 you have a tank that could be balanced between Panzer IV and Panther. Okay. The P.26 dont serve with the RSI army but that is CoH, a competitive pvp game and not a hardcore ww2 simulation. With the Semovente 90 you will have a super Marder, Semovente 105 can be used for AT and/or AI. So there are weapons u can use without any problems. Furthermore with the "limitation" of such a theater of war you can pull CoH away from those 1944~1945 scenario to a 1941~1944 timeframe. So u wont need heavy Pershings (and M3 Lee would be a nice cool new weapon). So i cant see any reason why anyone is against any italian theater? In: Lobby
Thread: COH 3 CONFRIMED?!11 May 2018, 18:40 PM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2018, 18:18 PMRedT3rror Because they lack tanks and overall presence in WW2 in order to apply the WW2 concept. That is no answer to my question. I would set up a new CoH in Africa and Italy. It would be a fresh scenario with a lot of new content and a lot of room to add new ideas/mechanics and/or develop old ideas and mechanics (LoS influenced by terrain/altitude difference, new try for weather elements [sand storm? rain?], large, open desert maps, fortress maps or mountain/small/narrow maps). And there wont be any problem with those weapons. Italy would have enough weapons for any CoH combat role/function/position [M14/30, Semovente, 90mm aa guns, artillery, mgs, mortars, special units, ectect.]. But i see why Relic wont try such a scenario. In: Lobby
