I want to believe that "cool and balanced" can fit in a 4v4 map.
If that means having a pool of 4 balanced maps instead of a pool of 10 unbalanced maps, the few are welcome =).
As many other players exposed, reducing the lenght for the benefit of width with more open flanks can benefit the balance while keeping the map "cool".
nope nope nope
95% of coh2 players play 4v4s vs ai or vs real people.
People who play shitfests like sittard summer, scheldt and some other crap custom maps
they wanna see cool maps, explosions and tanks and balance doesnt really bother them
they are the people who pay relic all money from dlcs and usually are those retarded wehraboo people who spam forums with retarded balance arguments, like buff KT omg because krupp steel engines boohoo
Thats some realism for you :/
