Completely subjective ofc but I think the teamgame experience in CoH3 still isn't fun, that's the big problem, and teamgames are about >90% of the CoH2 online playerbase.


Teamgame players want big tanks & explosions, not this light & medium tank spam

CoH3 is always Marder blob, Wirbelwind spam, P4 or P3 spam, Sherman & Hellcat spam, Crusader spam.... you name it. But apparently Relic's faction designers think that this is what teamgame players want, especially in 4v4

What has actually changed that people are saying Coh3 is good now for team games? They finally fixed up the menu and added replays. It looks like a real game finally.

Team players like Dirty Finisher and Duffman feel like Coh3 is lacking too many mechanics. These are upper echelon players so their tastes may be different than 90% of the player base.

Aerafield is a top player and his complaint (see above) is the game feels like it peters out mid game. Its like playing Coh2 only to 15 minutes then stopping.

I state that Coh3 does not provide the necessary feedback to players, mechanics and sound.

LACK OF MECHANICS
Coh3 allows you to just blob. This is not engaging. This does not create exciting dynamic interplay. It does not "feel" as good to a player to A-Move a blob into another blob. The "good" play feedback comes from moving units tactically. Moving a squad or two here or there and moving another around to flank. This is the payoff our bodies enjoy. Blobbing does nothing for this. But most of the player base are not great players, so blobbing may be fine for them.

SOUND
The Coh3 sounds are lacking. A large portion of the player experience comes from the sounds. Each sound in Coh2 gives the player information. What unit caused the sound, was it successful, should I be worried, how close is it to my units, etc etc etc. Coh3 sounds seem to lack in this arena. Once again game feedback is the critical piece in a game.

MAPS
There are not enough maps. Some are pure cancer and you cant veto them. White Ball is the most played Coh2 map (ever?) and some people hate it. Some love it but will hate it after playing it 3 times in a row. Only having a couple 4v4 maps = dead game mode. If I had to play Lorch Assault every game I would uninstall Coh2 immediately.

GBPirate is trying to help out the community by having a mapping competition. Lets hope there are some great maps from that. And Relic (Mono) is hopefully still making maps so eventually the Coh3 map pool will be in good shape in a few months.

I am not sure if one should be talking about TTK or if "reaction time" is better term.

High reaction time might be an issue if 100% player can react in time but low reaction can be equally problematic when 99.9% of player can not react in time.

As for RTS it does stand Real time Strategy but in there is nothing "real" about it. It simply differentiate it from Turn basted Strategy. The emphasis is always on "Strategy" and it turning it into third person shooter where the best reflexes wins should be avoided.
