I feel like this one never got any loving from the fans, I mean the second one set in Russia was a stunning success, what is it that they did, for it to be forgotten so quickly, memoryholed? It's not like Italy was a forgettable front so it has to be something gameplay related right?
>>2486496>memoryholed Still getting content, selling DLCs, getting updates with visual, audio and gameplay improvements and above all it's the most played CoH game right now by a wide margin.
>>2486496>How many maps does a player have to win to feel like they have won WW 2?The single player grand campaign map is a downgrade and there is woman on the cover. Everyone knows it is pointless slop at this point with a WW 2 theme.
>>2486496The gameplay is pretty shit, yeah. It feels like one of those things where disgruntled former staff break off and form their own company to make a clone game but realize they don't actually have the talent or expertise necessary to pull it off. It's a grim imitation of CoH that was brave enough to deviate from the formula but not competent enough to pull it off.And despite looking kind of shit graphically and still being a very small scale game with a low entity counts and tiny maps, it runs like shit and relies overtly on framegen cancer to achieve a stable framerate.Probably what epitomizes their whole design to me the most is that they made higher ttks, lower lethality and longer fights an explicit focus of their marketing and how they pitched the game as an improvement over 2 despite having less content and no noteworthy technical advancements. Then they later revealed with much fanfare the "ttk rework" aimed at increasing lethality and bringing ttk down in line with CoH2. No gameplay vision or design decision survives more than a few patching cycles (which to be fair, take ages) and as a result the game is just a slowly-shifting soup of bad ideas left to swirl and dissolve piecemeal into the indistinct mass.It's a game, designed by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
>>2486496News flash, the CoH series was always shit. Only difference was back then everything else was kinda shit and CoH mechanics were barely novel enough to get a cult following (ie. retards). Unfortunately, that following of retards has never been large enough to continue a shitpile game series into the modern gaming landscape, where even competent RTS games can barely keep a foothold.tldr; it was never memoryholed because nobody gave a shit in the first place
>>2486496See the woman front and center? I knew I was not the target audience.
>>2486496>t's not like Italy was a forgettable frontThe Italian Front game has no playable Italian faction.
LMAO how is this even possible?
>>2491632spaghetti code
>>2487232Literally my first reaction to it, everything else just seems worse then 2.>>2491696I get it.
>play 2v2>have 1:1 kdr>teammate has 8:1 kdrHuh? How do they do it?
I just started playing it, and it's ok. They didn't have to shake up the formula; I just wanted more of CoH1 and CoH2 with another different setting.The new turn-based mode is just a worse experience of the real-time mode, and isn't needed at all. There's a bunch of procedural-generated filler missions as well where you can just play skirmish mode to experience it instead.
>>2486496I like playing a comp stomp or two pretty regularly.Making final stand something existing owners of the game still have to pay for though was unforgivable. I can only hope it was a final gasp of desperation and they just fucking die than this is how the studio continues to operate.
>>2492846Retreating the second they have a bad match up or are out of position. Fuck that though, I'm more of a fight over nothing important until near death sort of guy.
>>2499292>I'm more of a fight over nothing important until near death sort of guyBased and 4chan pilled
To me it will, over the years become a slightly better coh2 by the sole reason that relic will keep adding new content to coh3, since they are desperate for money. But overall very sloppy work, coh3 should have blow all previous games away, it shouldn't be an argument what game is the best, but because it was made by a shadow of what relic was and they were desperate to gain quick cash, it is plagued by bugs, ugly UI and reused UI assets that at this point will never be replaced and endless balance mistakes already committed and solved in coh2, also the decision to have once again 2 german factions instead of one german and one Italian with a future dlc german faction in my opinion is completely retarded. Plus their molding tools still suck, they don't even let their modders fix the game for themselves or god forbid actually add new content which would extend the game life decades like coh1.
>>2486496Russia was my favorite nation to play as. COH3 was shit from the beginning. Shit sounds, shit graphics, shit effects, shit theater, shitty cash grab, shit devs.
is the italian campaign supposed to be very difficult? i'm at one early map where you have to defend the ally building with a side objective of blowing up 3 tanks before they reach the other side. i can't build an anti-tank gun or any artillery building before getting swarmed
>>2499734look chud, we can't have russia in a game in current year, okay? We can have the nazis, that's fine, they're good goy, I mean guys, now, but you just cannot have evil russians in a game, ugh.
>>2499840Sounds like you just suck.
>>2499840Wait, they finally released the italian faction and an italian campaign?
>>2499847In CoH2 even though they were protagonists it still has the Soviets flamethrower villages with civilians still inside while retreating, commissars summarily executing conscripts and shoot partisans that helped them while any war crimes committed by the Germans are conspicuously absent. It was actually kinda a controversy at the time. A lot of WW2 games sort of inadvertently reinforce clean werhmacht myth because of taboo on actually showing nazis in games.
These games never go for early war kinoWe could've had British commonwealth forces battling the Japanese in malaya and burma, early war Philamerican forces doing the same. Italians versus brits etc Instead it's the same tired shit we've seen two games already Muh Germans and muh Americans with largely the same roster
>>2499985Agreed. It's always Shermans and Panzer 4's
Update when? 3.0 is supposed to come in october
CoH2 sissies taking it up the ass and it's beautiful!
>>2504840True. I no longer recognize CoH 2 as the game I started in 2018. I went back to it this weekend for some 4s comp stomp and the game was so boring and nerfed into the ground for balance. I don't know how I got 4k hours in it.
>>2486496Let me turn the unit cap up to 1k in customs so my bro and I can just mass spam artillery and human waves... Fuck please
>>2504840>obsessed schizo brings up coh2 out of nowhere in a dead thread.Buy an ad.
>>2499985Late war has the cool and/or iconic shit, early war doesn't KOREAN WAR is where CoH should head next
>>2509196Wrong. Early war has cav, bicycle inf, tankettes, more variation in armor used. More fun and dramatic battles, better stage for more factions (China, Japan, philippine-american forces, commonwealth troops, afrika korps, Italian Libyan forces etc) Muttoids literally only care about the parts that hollywood pushes, the parts of the war that the allies are winning 100% while ignoring fun and dynamic settings like africa in 41-42
>>2486520>current players >1800lolits insane if you watch streams of this game in one window and coh2 in anotherthe 13 year old game mogs this pile of trash so fucking hardthis is the only game I've ever refunded and have like 5000 hours in COH2its by far my most played gameI was so hyped that it was getting another game and we get this pile of absolute dogshitfucking COH1 for mobile
gee i dunno
>>2511546I'm sure you'll catch up someday, lil' ivan
>>2511546fpbp
>>2511649i don't think you know what that means
>>2511649The first post was talking about how the game still getting supported. fpbp is first post best post
>>2511611>bragging that a 3 year old game with support is barely beating a 13 year old game with no supportin COH2s peak, it had 15k-20k average players, for like 3 yearsCOH3 has never held above 3500 playersyou COH3 faggots cope with "rts is dead"but AOE4 is still at about 13k and was averaging 20-30k for a couple yearsCOH3s numbers have never been better and its averaging 3200 a day LMAOlook on twitch, COH2 still gets 100x the viewers than COH3 I don't even believe these numbers desuits much easier to get a game in COH2 than COH3 in queue timemaybe 70% of COh3 players are just doing campaign lol
>>2511740newfag
>>2511933>moving the goalposts and pretending everyone left playing 2 is not some russo-chinaman who got it for free during a giveawayLOLDidn't even read your post
is the US good in coh3? every ww2 RTS seems to either make them shit or meh.
>>2512319Overpowered as fuck right now, scheduled to get nerfs
>>2499279>The new turn-based mode is just a worse experience of the real-time mode,The hwat nowHow the fuck would you even make CoH a turn based game
>>2486496I tried it. It was better than 2 but not as good as 1 until they started pulling the same DLC bullshit as 2, and now it's basically dead to me. I wish I could go back to when Blitzkrieg was good too, now it's just "ok". How is it that every time anyone tries to iterate on something it just gets fucking worse?
Launch was shit and had revisonary woke garbage.
>WW2 European front again.When will thry give us Japan?
>>2512606 DEI garbage aside, Coh3 has been full of jank since day 1 and the devs are to incompetent to fix it. Launch bugs never got fixed. I can still out of bounds my mortar team whenever i want and on some maps i can boundary lockdown and hold a VP with an invincible out of bounds mortar.
