Thread: What keeps you from enjoying coh3?24 Apr 2024, 13:12 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2024, 00:55 AMGenObi I think coh3 is the best coh yet and far superior than coh2. well that's easy really, in terms of actual product its vastly improved over coh2 hands down. The faction structure IMO is better which isn't surprising since a lot of it comes from coh1 but a lot of the dynamic and quality life improvements of coh 2. Personally i think it looks far superior than coh2 simply because i love the colorful meditrian look than the Soviet/Russian grey of the eastern front, yes i'm aware its intentinal for the front, however i still prefer it. Does it have its issues? Sure but what rts doesn't need a couple of patches. +1 In: COH3 Central
Thread: Thoughts on Hammer and Shield and the remaining leaked BGs10 Dec 2023, 13:01 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Dec 2023, 20:08 PMEsxile You can definitively skip the 2 new battlegroups and still fully enjoy the game. You could also have farmed the ingame won credit to buy at least one of them if not both. It's nice to know that you can get them for free if you play the game regularly. We're now with a almost fully finished game. H&S is like coh3 Version 1.0. +1 I enjoy the game very much after the update. A lot of my friends returned as well and are happy as well. Npw we need more new content. IN February the community maps should be added and after that DAK/ Brit need their battlegroups asap. In: COH3 Central

I've gone toe to toe across open ground with engis and still had a difficult time. They don't really dish out much damage. Try to combine Commandos with Infantry training upgrade. At least the LmgCommandos are quite potent then In: COH3 Central
Thread: Why listening to the community isn't always good.31 Aug 2023, 19:02 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2023, 14:50 PMdonofsandiego I'm just going to put my thoughts here, because they're starting to get a little too long-winded for the shoutbox. Regarding the title; I heard that the decision to release CoH 3 with 4 factions and 2 campaigns was a decision that was made at the behest of urging from community managers. You did not remember my post in the shoutbox correctly. I did not wrote that community managers pushed for 4 factions, it was the first wave of the COMMUNITY COUNCIL members (well known guys from the community). And I still think it was a good decision! Relic wanted to release with US / Wehr factions - do you think anybody would have been hyped for factions that was alrdy the CoH1 launch factions? I absolutely don't think so. And we should not forget that DAK / Brits as launch factions would never ever happened simply because the US market is so big. (Germany is a big CoH market as well). And is balance really the reason the game has not met expectations? NO, balance is one of the strengths of the game. There are a lot of factors that hold CoH3 back but 4 factions and balancing are not the reasons. Releasing the pc version 6 at least 6 months too early is the main reason. Let's say CoH3 would have been released in September then replay mode incl. caster hud would have been released 3 months after release - acceptable, right? We would have had 4 4vs4 maps after 3 months of release and so on.... It's just beyond me how management could put money on the console version but not solve the issue with the community maps. Honestly, if you have a chance to get free, high quality maps FOR FREE then you should prioritize this issue. In: COH3 Central
Thread: is the coh3 game designer is a spy of coh2?31 Jul 2023, 10:51 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2023, 08:41 AMKatitof WDYM? As of last patch, the main issue is lack of map variety. Balance and variety is good, performance is good, sound is great, planes no longer silly. More maps, observer and replays and CoH2 is left behind. +1 US planes will be fixed tonight I guess. Coh3 balance is better after 6 months than coh2 balance after 5 years. The big problem is the lack of new content; we need 6-8 maps for every mode and after that new battlegroups should also be releases this year. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Relic is in trouble - The "financial situation"12 Jun 2023, 18:43 PM LOl Of course Relic's financial situation is bad or why do you think they fired almost 25-30% of their members? Sorry, but this offers no information In: COH3 Central
Thread: May 29th News - Roadmap and more communication30 May 2023, 11:19 AM Jump back to quoted post29 May 2023, 21:37 PMHannibal I think so too. For the first time, they are acknowledging that not everything is looking great. Maybe kicking out Steve Mele helped (the guy on the latest fake interview saying he's really proud of the launch while dodging questions). I'll be mildly positive for the next weeks. Relic will need another couple of weeks to reorganise though. You can't cut down a company that heavily and expect things to go without major issues. The main question will still be if Relic managed to kick out the main people who are responsible for the extremely slow development. Only time will tell. If they manage to bring one major feature every month, it would already be a step up. +1 It's definitely a step i the right direction. We could have all missing stuff (with the exception of the spectator mode) until the end of September plus additional maps which is the biggest problem right now. What I really don't understand is why the implementation of community maps (legal / technical stuff) was not a priority for Relic BEFORE the launch. If you know that your map pool is small for several months but the community can help you out on this (for free!) then I would have tried everything possible to solve the issue. I just hope that players will find their way back because the core gameplay of CoH3 is really good and the factions are all TEN times better designed than in CoH2. That's why almost all people that I know will not go back to CoH2. If you have enjoyed the strategic depth of sidetech options as a Wehr players you really don't want to go back to a linear tech or even worse building 4 Volks / 3 rifles in the hq... In: COH3 Central
Thread: Relic is in trouble - 121 employees fired 25 May 2023, 19:07 PM Jump back to quoted post25 May 2023, 18:54 PMCrecer13 - We will dedicate the second part of the game entirely to the Eastern Front - lie - We will make the CoH2 single player campaign historical - lie - We will never add M26 Pershing to CoH2 - lie - Historicity is important to us in CoH3 - Black Prince This is just what I remembered in a minute, there must have been other examples. But in general, I perfectly see the price of Relic's words. We will make the CoH2 single player campaign historical Sorry for writing that off topic stuff but Russians still seem to ignore the fact that the Red Army was more brutal to it's own soldiers than any other army in WW2. It was bad in CoH2's campaign that the Red Army were ONLY shown in a negative way while Western Allies were the big heroes in CoH although the never had to fight against prime Wehrmacht like the Red Army. BUt that does not mean that the Red Army was flawless, far from it. And Russians did not seem to accept that the SU had a lot of dirt on their fingers - because the WW2 seem still to start in 1941 (Great Patriotic WAr) for the SU although the made pact with Hitler in 1939, killed ten of thousands of the polish elite, invaded Finland and the BAtlic states. Before the SU was the victim of the german war of annihilation it was an aggressor. And millions of brave soviet soliders could have survived the war without the bad leadership. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Relic is in trouble - 121 employees fired 25 May 2023, 17:28 PM Jump back to quoted post25 May 2023, 17:00 PMUberHanz Brilliant comment. Feel the same. And despite his autism its just a few strokes away from finishing. But he just doesnt get it done... painful to watch. Yes, Rosbone nailed it.Next week's announcement is the most important announcement in CoH history. They just have to nail it. For me personally the first step back of the great CoH comeback would be honesty. PLs no pr bs talk. Just be transparent and finally stick to the faults (Missing stuff). This game really don't need much to be really good. Enough is said, talked and writen. Relic should excactly know what the community wants. Just do it! - Give the CoH3 team the resources it needs to turn things around and to finally release the missing stuff - Release monthly balance updates even if they are small - Finally solve the issue with community maps - Send Bacon every help he can get to design new maps In: COH3 Central
Thread: Discussion - Current state of Tournaments1 May 2023, 10:15 AM To be honest playing the game is fun and the TTK feels completely alright. Watching streams is a little bit different I would admit. But for me the focus on 1v1 was alrdy boring in CoH2. Maybe people have forgot but in the last year of CoH2 you saw in 8 of 10 games Soviets vs. Wehr matchups on the same maps and in the end Isildur won. It would have been more exiting to see some great 2v2 action instead of the same 1v1 stuff every 6 weeks. Some bigger breaks would have also helped the 1v1 ML. For my personal taste there were just too many tourneys. In: COH3 Central
