I'd kill for a Japanese faction. I've been wanting one since the original CoH. I don't even care if they suck, honestly. I mostly want them for variety's sake and for atmospheric awesomeness (though for the record, I do think it would be possible to make them viable).
maybe in CoH 3 im so sick and tired of most ww2 games taking place in europe imo thats too simple...too obvious if i were relic i choose to go against the rules and try something different
i hate to break it to you but native language for this game is a non-existent priority for relic believe me i tried to contact them in an attempt to have it implemented even so much as to start a community project...it ended in complete disappointing failure
They did Normandy, then market garden. Then they did all of eastern front, plus battle of the bulge.
What's left?
-pacific
-Italy!
-Africa
My theory? Coh3 will be multiplayer only (with PvE compstomps) with lots of different armies you can customize. I'm thinking ruskies, usa, commonwealth, Germany, Italy, Japan, etc. all with a persistent war.
I think that time period will be 1943-1945 as well
you forgot about Operation Husky which was the invasion of Sicily
Since Relic is likely to keep the CoH franchise within the confines of the WW2 spectrum and not anywhere else like Korea, Vietnam or even the more recent modern contemporaries like Iraq or Afghanistan. I wonder which theater of war will they do next because i am beginning to see a predictable pattern in the majority of WW2 games that have been made: they all take place in the European Theater of Operations be it France, Africa, Italy, Sicily, The Netherlands, i could go on. Instead Relic should try something different and unpredictable by making their next CoH game take place in the Pacific Theater of Operations. That theater like the Battle of Hurtgen Forest was not "widely" known to the general audience making Europe often is the center of attention.
From wikipedia:
The Battle of Iwo Jima (19 February – 26 March 1945) was a major battle in which the U.S. Marines landed on and eventually captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. The American invasion, designated Operation Detachment, had the goal of capturing the entire island, including the three Japanese-controlled airfields (including the South Field and the Central Field), to provide a staging area for attacks on the Japanese main islands.[3] This five-week battle comprised some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting of the War in the Pacific of World War II.
After the heavy losses incurred in the battle, the strategic value of the island became controversial. It was useless to the U.S. Army as a staging base and useless to the U.S. Navy as a fleet base.[5] However, Navy Seabees rebuilt the landing strips, which were used as emergency landing strips for USAAF B-29s.[6]
The Imperial Japanese Army positions on the island were heavily fortified, with a dense network of bunkers, hidden artillery positions, and 18 km (11 mi) of underground tunnels.[7][8] The Americans on the ground were supported by extensive naval artillery and complete air supremacy over Iwo Jima from the beginning of the battle by U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviators.[9]
Japanese combat deaths numbered three times the number of American deaths, although uniquely in the Pacific War, American total casualties (dead and wounded) exceeded those of the Japanese.[10] Of the 21,000 Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima at the beginning of the battle, only 216 were taken prisoner, some of whom were captured because they had been knocked unconscious or otherwise disabled.[1] The majority of the remainder were killed in action, although it has been estimated that as many as 3,000 continued to resist within the various cave systems for many days afterwards, eventually succumbing to their injuries or surrendering weeks later.[1][11]
Despite the bloody fighting and severe casualties on both sides, the Japanese defeat was assured from the start. Overwhelming American superiority in arms and numbers as well as complete control of air power—coupled with the impossibility of Japanese retreat or reinforcement, along with sparse food and supplies—permitted no plausible circumstance in which the Americans could have lost the battle.[12]
The battle is remembered primarily by Joe Rosenthal's Associated Press photograph of the raising of the U.S. flag on top of the 169 m (554 ft) Mount Suribachi by five U.S. Marines and one U.S. Navy combat corpsman. The photograph (and a color film by Marine Staff Sgt. Bill Genaust) records the second flag-raising on the mountain, both of which took place on the fifth day of the 36-day battle. Rosenthal's photograph promptly became iconic—of that battle, of the Pacific War, and of the Marine Corps itself—and has been widely reproduced.
