Thread: COH3 is going to be a massive flop26 Jan 2023, 19:07 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2023, 02:42 AMsluzbenik Oh I found the video. Lol. I really haven't been keeping up. I like that they said they accidentally defaulted most people to low settings. It's proletarian and populist. It might be proletarian and populist but it led to great frame rates.......

Thread: Greyhound question25 Jan 2023, 01:31 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2022, 23:02 PMMusmula Hello, I have a simple question. Is the Greyhound useless? Because it does feel like that. I can't see any situation where it is something that will give me a big advantage in said situation. Asking for both 1v1 matches and 3v3 or 4v4. I need some advice on it, or for someone to tell me to drop it because it actually is bad and its not just me Once in awhile when I feel like doing something non-meta, I'll get them in a 4v4. If you play somewhat conservatively with them, they end up with really great vision and good AA at vet 2 or 3. I combine one with two Jacksons which makes it really difficult for armor, then once the armor is chased off, the main gun acts almost like a sniper. It's really situational and much more difficult to use against good players. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: COH3 is going to be a massive flop24 Jan 2023, 00:26 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Jan 2023, 23:04 PMdonofsandiego Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. I think it was either the resource points or manpower points you couldnt cap on the minimap. Either way, I know there were issues. It worked okay for me on the minimap but sometimes resulted in immediate retreats when I used the regular screen. I'd agree with the people who said it is buggy. FWIW - I don't think it will be a massive flop. It has a lot of customizeability which will make it a hit for the single-players. The biggest thing that I saw that was wrong with it was the UI. It looks like it was optimized for a tablet. It's way too spread out, and the hot keys can't be easily used by just one hand. That won't work for competitive gaming, unless you're 14 years old and playing on your phone. In: COH3 Central

Anyways I share the sentiment of this thread... going back to CoH2 after the tech test is really rough and launch can't come soon enough Shock troops with satchel and flamethrower, what's not to hate...... 20 hours of COH3 spoiled COH2 for me, will just play other stuff until release.

Thread: Analysis: should buy CoH3 or not.18 Jan 2023, 04:07 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Jan 2023, 20:46 PMRosbone This is an important point to people doing preorders. How confident are you that Relic/Sega will not put this kind of trash into the game? I would be extremely mad if I bought the game just to find, when I downloaded it, there was some garbage like this in it. But that is not my problem. I'd be surprised if there wasn't some garbage in it, or if the first DLC didn't have over-the-top commanders. I'll buy it and like it anyway. In: COH3 Central
Thread: CoH3 faster VP tick rate17 Jan 2023, 15:37 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Jan 2023, 10:11 AMI984 I went for the same strat and made it to 500-0 in under 11 minutes in a 2v2 (will add screenshot later). All I had to do was to drop pios on the vps and backcap with the kettenkrad, then build two flak 38's and camp for 10 minutes. This deletes any fun or strategy from the game, since there is not much the enemy can do, if one goes hard on this kind of playstyle. There is no comeback from a mistake or early fuk and You get punished even further You decide to tech against this. In the predecessors you could have games anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes, where You can fuck up and manage to comeback with all kinds of strategy. Deciding a game that early has no appeal and is just boring af, this needs a change imo. I'm not sure I'd read that much into one game (commenting about the winning strat). There were a lot of trash players this weekend. Sometimes I'd try things that made me one of them. The fact that your opponents didn't have a counter doesn't mean that it will be unstoppable in multiplayer. I do agree that there isn't a comeback from a mistake. It's going to lead to a lot of early drops and will be terrible for 2v2+ multiplayer. In: COH3 Central
Thread: COH3 is going to be a massive flop17 Jan 2023, 15:30 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jan 2023, 02:47 AMaerafield For fuck's sake, a game isn't gonna flop because graphics or audio is not fully nailed down. It's the GAMEPLAY that really matters in the end. CoH2 multiplayer at launch was: - trash meta - boring units without weapon profiles and dull veterancy - laggy af games because no battle servers - terrible performance esp. snow maps and blizzards - no ladders --> 75% of the launch-day playerbase gone in just 3 months Seriously all the people here who praise and worship CoH2 so much, I just cannot imagine you were here from the beginning since June 2013 COH2 was trash at launch. It froze often on my computer and I'd lose units in multiplayer before getting control back. It was so un-fun that I stopped playing after a month or two and played other things until WFA came out. COH3 feels a lot better. I looked on Steam and saw that I actually played more like 20 hours of the beta. I'm sure it's going to be addictive to a lot of people. In: COH3 Central
Thread: I'm sad17 Jan 2023, 15:18 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Jan 2023, 07:26 AMEsxile Do they? I run into them couple of time with my tanks and didn´t see it. I only called them couple of time and didn´t really check. TBH - I'm not sure. I was microing somewhere else when my Grehound took the damage. All I saw in the area before and after were the Guastatori. I would've like to have been able to save a replay and watch it to verify what happened. I'd assume that they'll add saving replays to the final game. In COH2, Most of the time when I thought BS happened, it was cleared up by the replay. In: COH3 Central
Thread: CoH3 faster VP tick rate17 Jan 2023, 07:28 AM Having played literally hundreds of hour plus slugfests in COH2 4v4's, I wouldn't mind some change. However, one thing that I noticed is that the faster tick rate more-or-less eliminates the comeback mechanic that could make some COH2 games fun. Now, you can have one bad battle, then you're forced to attack when you don't have a decent army because you're losing ticks too fast. It's going to cause a lot of people to quit as soon as they lose a battle, which won't be good for multiplayer gameplay. In: COH3 Central
Thread: I'm sad17 Jan 2023, 07:19 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Jan 2023, 04:15 AMdonofsandiego I could tell most players thought that axis were OP (longer Axis wait times), but really allies had excellent options for dealing with them even in the lategame. Especially the 76mm shermans from the US. There were only a few units that seemed OP. The Tiger felt crazy-good when we were just comp-stomping as Axis but when we faced some in a couple games, they didn't make a huge impact. The Guastatori were a bigger problem. Those felt like playing against flamethrower Penals, except that they also had smoke so not even an MG would slow them down. IIRC, they even have a snare. I heard some complaining about the Black Prince, but didn't see one in a game. In: COH3 Central
