You do realize no amount of in-house balancing will survive first week of release for an RTS game?
Developers have only so many brains, when you suddenly drop the game on 100k more, you'll see things that were overlooked earlier because of reasons.

I agree with you. However the smarter approach would have been to launch the game as early access which is essentially what it is at this point and as people play it online adjust the game as necessary to be ready for release.

If I am paying $70 for a brand new game, I expect the game to be complete and finished. Look at Elden Ring for example. Complete game, no nonsense or drama and because of that it sold for 20+ million.


Releasing a game broken on release (Coh2/COH3) only generates negative feedback which is hard to come back from and damages the brand.

After this I will probably never purchase a Relic game again (My first being Homeworld back when it was first launched)

For me personally it isn't even about the money. I will happily drop $400 on cosmetic skins in Path of Exile every league/season that comes out to support the game since they always improve the game and treat their customers with respect.

Literally the most basic things like tooltips not being correct and take less than 30 seconds to fix just won't get fixed by Relic. They have a fuck it mentality then never bother to fix it and I will respond in kind with how they treat their customers.


COH2 got a pass from me for its terrible launch due to a lack of publisher. They have had 10 years since COH2 dropped to make something decent, instead we get some half ass garbage that is essentially a recycled mod of COH1/2 yet again with no effort at all being put into the game.

It only took Relic 20 years to figure out how to add rebindable hotkeys.

Nice work!

Sadly I dont think you can turn up the SPECULAR lighting which is why every map except one looks like a low grade mobile game or a bowl of oatmeal to quote Reverb.

See what you have done Relic you assholes! You have me quoting Reverb!!!

I just wish Relic was at least decent at their job so that we don't need to use things like this. This is what happens when you have former EA Devs (Now Current Relic) who made some of the worst games ever to be in charge of COH 3.

Rather than do actual work Relic is just making mods (COH2 and COH3 being mods of COH1)

Someone at Relic was like

"How can we re-release the same thing with zero improvements for some quick cash?"

Then they decided to put inferior sound effects, add a borderlands filter and call it a new game while pretending they actually did something that a modder couldn't have done better had they not crippled modding functionality.

Personally I think the biggest problem with Partisans is the reinforce cost. I would rather see the cost of the unit go up to 300 MP but reinforcement costs dropped down to like 15 or so

Yes, even with lousy animation. When I watched the trailer for the US faction and saw the animation of the paratroopers, my first association was that they were plastic soldiers and their parachutes were plastic, no weight of a soldier.

The worst part is, they are giving us extremely inferior graphics (plastic soldiers with terrible animations and borderlands filter) and the game will most likely have less FPS than COH2.
