Thread: Abandoned Dacha27 May 2021, 01:49 AM Hi everyone, Here is a link to the steam workshop page. Made a map for the Master League's map making competition. Feel free to leave feedback here or, preferably, in the Master League. Basically, you've got the centre piece and namesake of the map which are the ruins of a great estate. Towards the axis base you've got an overgrown circle with crumbling statues. Towards the allied base you've got the muddied remnants of a reflecting pool. In the top of the map you've got a forest and the south a ruined village and remnants of a recent skirmish with some destroyed tanks, craters, etc. Final housekeeping thing to do is remake the minimap which isn't quite reflective of the current state of the map.

Thread: Adding fires to map objects?27 May 2021, 01:16 AM Howdy folks, I came across a burning tree in one of the stamp's in Monolithic Bacon's "Bacon Box" (circa 2014; definitely a blast from the past for us in 2021!) and I'd love to know how to set other objects on fire. Specifically, I'd like to link a fire and smoke marker to a car. It looks great in my map but once the combat gets going there is going to be a Kennedy-like eternal flame in some non-descript hedgerow in digital USSR. I know there's a short article about setting buildings on fire via scar coding but I don't think that's what I'm looking for. I've checked the scar file on the map i'm working on and it looks normal to me. In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: Grittiness before the time of WFA 20 May 2021, 02:53 AM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2021, 01:58 AMMMX i also enjoyed the recent master league tournament that featured winter versions of the most popular tourney maps... wish some of these would make it into the live game at some point. there were actually two! I was happy to create the blizzard event for everyone. Idk how popular it was in terms of viewers but it was fun to put on. And ML4 with the non-blizzard winter maps was a real treat, too.

Thread: Grittiness before the time of WFA 20 May 2021, 02:51 AM I was convinced they were going to double-down on the Eastern Front because there was so much potential that they hadn't touched. Some of the shit you hear in the vanilla factions is really awful. You also commit a war crime every time you shoot the writhing infantry models btw. I think for financial reasons they decided to go with WFA because they had many of the assets for the setting already. It might have been already decided before launch (or the planned launch) to "return" to coh1. You'd have to ask a dev. I think with many ww2 games there is a lot of opportunity to really milk the shit out of the game and coh2 is no exception. There easily could have been late/midwar vs. early war variants of factions. German allies could've been worked into the game as their own faction and a Tales of Valor style mini campaigns for those factions created. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Buff for 5 man grens17 Apr 2021, 17:29 PM I am not 100% up-to-date on what the stats are but nerfing LMG grens is not good. Grens are, in their current state, probably the weakest standard infantry squad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - OKW Feedback10 Apr 2021, 05:34 AM I've seen a lot of suggestions about Panzerfusiliers here (ctrl+f is your friend). My biggest grip with the unit is that it's a counter to soviet tier 1 (M3 scout car) builds in its current (live) state. At the minimum I'd like to keep their snare tied to the same Volksgrenadier requirement or removing it altogether. To give the squad more flavour I think it could have some unique abilities for a frontline squad that tie-in to the "grand offensive" or "breakthrough" themes of the commanders its in. The squad already has a flare so that's cool. What if we doubled-down on the scouting/early warning aspect of the unit while also keeping the dedicated anti-tank vs. anti-infantry upgrade path? After some thinking, what if in each upgrade path they got 1)new weapon 2)vision ability (could also be a raw vision bonus (3-5 meters; less than pioneer's 42-range) 3)ability to plant a mine Anti-tank route: 1) 1-2 Panzerschrecks + AT snare 2) Vehicle detection ability through FoW (similar to 222 ability; I think Soviets have this ability too? 3) USF clone of light AT mine OR Teller mine. Anti-Infantry route: 1) G43 upgrade (not LMG; want the squad to be mobile) + grenade (could be model 24 or Bundle?) 2) Detect infantry through FoW (akin to 222 ability but less powerful 3) Single S-mine patch.

Thread: My respond to the accusations9 Apr 2021, 20:43 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2021, 19:24 PMKahootKing He is cheating with the brumbar and the sniper plays, but this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. At most he should've gotten a slap on the wrist Uhhhhh what. idk if Relic looked at tournament replays with their new tools or just automatch but Relic has come out and said they know he's a cheater and he's suspected of cheating in those tournament games. The dude can always buy another copy of the game on a different steam account i suspect. He can still play but he can't reveal his identity lmao. In: Lobby
