There's also nothing wrong with a bunch of strong brick buildings and red cover. Just don't put them on the VPs, fuels or the cutoffs. The original CoH1 maps offer a pretty good example of proper garrison usage: easily flanked and never locking down access to portions of the map. (Semois pin aside, though I do personally feel that is perfectly valid.)

TBH it's really hard to design a competitive CoH2 map, for the game design issues previously mentioned. It's even harder to create a visually appealing CoH2 ma: there's not a whole lot of non-rural non-snow options in CoH2 unfortunately. It's also a challenge to create a CoH2 map that isn't a copy of another map, as there is a crushingly limited number of territory resource points with no variation.

Accomplishing all three isn't exactly easy.

I think it's possible with imagination but it's very risky, Caen for example is so close to being an urban map that fits the forumla and works, it's only let down by the cutoffs which I've heard were fixed it's just that the correct version is not in the game.

And fun fact, halbe, bryansk, westwall would all be 100% balanced if the game was (with slight deviations of abuse due to once again, the game). As they are symmetrical (mirror matches would come down to scouting and skill, not cheese). So before you try and blame the map, maybe you should look at game balance first?

So you're saying they would be better if they were for a different game, one that allows mirror matches, and relies on mechanical skill rather than 'cheese' (aka strategy)?

Or, make maps that work for this game, fun idea!

Analyse why the great maps of this game like Faymonville Approach, Crossroads, or Kholodony Ferma have such low vetoes and such high ratings amongst top players.

Or Seomis, Angoville, and, Langres for CoH1.

These maps have distinct cut offs, varied designs, and great character. But they play excellently for Company of Heroes battles.

The three you mentioned do not play well for Company of Heroes battles in their current form, and blaming the game is ridiculous in my opinion.

Bryansk is awful, too channelled and segmented, which means support weapons are mitigated and true sight nullifies a lot of palystyles.

Westwall has huge two storey garrisons in prominent places which ruins the flow of battle and creates a distorted early game.

Halbe becomes MG wars, and suffers the most out of the three mentioned for not being the most up to date version.

I think a lot of map makers should be more conservative in their approach to map making in this game, we don't want your grand artistic visions or creativity, we want nice rural maps that work and have distinct character without being overbearing.

The limits for what works in CoH maps is quite narrow, remove ego and creativity and people become better CoH map makers, in my opinion.

edit: I also think that same advice applies to me and goes towards casting and other pursuits, I'm not being mapist.

For the thousandth time, Lisores, Pripyat and all the other 2v2 maps that were added, we were given 2 weeks time. Pripyat wasn't even 25% through testing (it has multiple other iterations that address major issues and Lisores was straight up stolen and redone). Caen was voted in by the judges of the contest, and then changed a few months later, resulting in what it is now, with arguably the worst cutoffs in the game.

Will this window give opportunity to fix all of those issues, and with the ones added in the 1v1 pool also?

Found out Luvnest did save these after all, good guy Luvnest.

Edit this is the game where DevM's computer freezes but the game keeps running, was so weird!
