Thread: Kick out 1vs1 maps8 Aug 2017, 02:33 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2017, 20:08 PMZombiFrancis First mod I made removed sight blocking properties to a lot of trees and bushes specifically because of minsk pocket. The map actually felt functional as a result. There are so many wonky inconsistencies with map objects blocking sight and shots it's kinda maddening. I agree. Its not obvious what blocks sight sometimes. Mappers should almost agree to follow some rules like stick dead tree branches in the hedgerow objects that block sight. And arent there two sets of trees that look identical. Some block some dont. I could be wrong. And dont get me started on that row of dead sticks that is a sight blocker even though it looks like you can walk right thru it (looking at you Rhzev Winter) So many times you look and like 2 guys are shooting and the other 3 are smoking a cig cause they cant see anyone.

Thread: Kick out 4vs4 maps8 Aug 2017, 02:25 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2017, 21:08 PMSturmpanther Intresting: Fact is: south side gets faster in the big middle building then north side The south gets there quicker but the main building on the road has fewer windows and gets rekt from the several buildings across the street. That only leaves the building just south of the VP. Which is quickly destroyed by mortar. Then you have NO garrisons vs the 3 or 4 across the street. Maybe this was meant to be, in some form of asymmetric balance, just like the middle VP building? Left gets the better buildings on the south. Middle gets the northern building. Both are somewhat flankable. Sometimes when you make a map, you just try to make it look cool and somewhat realistic. There are no symmetric towns in the world right? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Kick out 4vs4 maps7 Aug 2017, 14:25 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2017, 04:49 AMbuttcheeksontoast I agree on Lienne Forest. The middle is an interesting dynamic where one side gets an awesome garrison, but later on have a disadvantage due to being blocked off by the railway. And the left is an urban fight, wrestling for control of the garrison next to the VP and surrounding garrisons. The right is just.... ugh. Especially once a Bofors or such goes down. Lienne Forest is a decent map but suffers from several annoyances. 1. Right side is a 1v1...boring. Most teams abandon it since it lacks a resource incentive. 2. Middle is imbalanced as noted. 3. The city is just "Who has the better MG/mortar wins". Not too much skill involved. 4. RUS Urban Defense commander is OP as hell on the city. Almost an InstaWin. Not really a map issue. 5. A lot of maps that people say are Axis favored, I dont normally see at my low skill level. Steppes for instance I see RUS heavies doing very well on it. But Lienne I see Axis dominate a lot late game. Probably an L2P issue??? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Kick out 3vs3 Maps6 Aug 2017, 14:11 PM We need a sub-poll where people explain the style of play they like. For me I like 4v4 on Redball, Hamburg, etc because you are playing WITH a teammate the entire time. Some people like larger maps where you end up playing a 1v1 or getting rekt by two enemies at once, and no one can help because they are spread out so far. If you want to play a 1v1, play a 1v1. 2s, 3s, and 4s should be mostly played WITH teammates. I personally love to see large scale engagements as opposed to little skirmishes. OKW Stuka turning 30 guys into hamburger pieces is why I exist (please nerf the non skilled arty and mortars and we are good to go). This information would have been good to know BEFORE the 2v2 map contest that is currently going. But its not too late. The maps will be going thru some phases that may allow change. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Kick out 4vs4 maps5 Aug 2017, 23:06 PM Hill 331 has way too many level changes, unless you like shooting the ground a lot. And it plays like a maze on the sides. City 17 is always a mess. Never any real fun play until the end, but even then most dont like the heavy tank arty fest it becomes on the middle VP. Lorch - everything Torniks said and its a mortar fest. Its usually pretty fun to play if your not stuck in the bottom. If you wanted to play a 1v1 you wouldn't be playing a 4v4. I have to fight the urge to drop if I get stuck down that rabbit hole. Really cool looking map, I can see why it got put in though. Personally I like Steppes, Redball, and Hamburg (even though its not overly balanced). Those are always fun with a lot of free moving action. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: FBP AI Bug Instant M4C call in23 Jul 2017, 20:47 PM Running the Fall Balance Preview 1.0 while testing a 2v2 map with several buildings. I noticed my AI partner instantly call in a Sherman M4C. guessing it went Lend Lease. Running the match against one OKW and one OST player helps push the AI into choosing Lend Lease. In: Replays
Thread: Teamgame dominant meta4 May 2017, 12:44 PM If you nerf Calliope, you may as well remove USF from team games since they are so weak late game. You need the calliope to clear inf around heavy tanks so your paper tanks and nerf gun inf can move in and flank. Or like RedT3rror said: Give Jacksons way more health. They are pretty much moving 1-shot AT guns without heavy support. Everything in the game kills a Jackson in two hits. In: COH2 Balance
