Thread: 3 minutes 221 is obscene25 Jan 2023, 08:39 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Jan 2023, 00:21 AMTom_BR yes but you need to keep 2 to 3 squads focused on shooting him only. It still takes too long and your opponent will simply back off, notice and come back with him. and you lost valuable MP and Time in this game. MG doesn't come into play after 3 minutes with USF, even so a player with a minimum of intelligence will not stand still in front of the machine gun with a light vehicle. he is fast, he has smoke, he gains a lot of HP with the upgrade and Vet. with 3 minutes USF there is absolutely nothing to stop you. Best of all, he's running after the retreating troops and killing them all. Lieutenant gets zooks, seems like the best early response So if you see 221 in his lineup, build less rifles and see what he does In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Smoke10 Jan 2023, 13:39 PM Having smoke give numerical modifiers is a ridiculous idea, created by someone with no clue how 3d game engines work. LoS exists, shot blockers exist, particle density exists. In: Lobby

Thread: Light vehicles vs sniper17 Dec 2022, 16:54 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2022, 20:01 PMVipper The priority of sniper for light vehicles (especially the one with turrets) seem to be low so they will prioritize other targets before firing on snipers. That should be fixed since one can not drive the vehicle and choose the target with these vehicles which help sniper on retreat. What was it you said about snipers firing at transports in the chatbox? Anyway it's not a bug and therefore does not meet criteria to be fixed. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: sniper idea3 Dec 2022, 11:11 AM so I like the sound of vision cone, as well as being more static (e.g. 'firing mode' vs 'hold fire' and locked in place when firing). Stealth is important for this unit so it should stay. That would turn it into a turret unit, which is fine I guess... But I prefer rebranding them to have more like support unit power levels, e.g. pathfinders; but with high health damage and reduced crit, instead of being locked into a cone. They could be made more survivable too. But both of these options suck compared to the beautiful sniper as it is now. So it'd need to keep its high impact feeling, I love the kill counts they get. (I'm only top 600 sov 1v1 if anyone is wondering). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Further Evidence that COH3 is Trash25 Aug 2022, 06:49 AM Coh2 went 64 bit recently. Suggests vulkan /dx12 potential. But single threaded render pipeline suggests dx11, which is a legit fail if true. Bigger concern for me is it suggests a lack of event driven architecture, which just makes everything from ai parsing to ui and unit commands sluggish, especially in MP online. I'd love to see their online matchmaking architecture using microservices and events in the cloud, I'm not sure it does In: COH3 Central
Thread: coh3 still a arrange team fk the solo ladder players game?23 Aug 2022, 16:20 PM Elo comes from a desire to match people up with similarly skilled opponents. Is it even relevant in random team mode? How much worse would it be to have just random matching? Newbies and vets flung together, it's certainly more realistic. If vets want to be tested they should be able to queue specifically for an elo-rated game, solo or as a team. If there are more newbies than vets in the population, then probability dictates that, over time, random teams will be a couple newbs and a vet. Not the curb stomping vet Vs newb train that game designers seem to fear. In short, I hate elo for random play, but like it when I want to test myself. Elo seems more fashion than science. It's often implemented so thoughtlessly In: COH3 Central
Thread: Guards vs Airborne Long Range10 Aug 2022, 12:10 PM This entire thread is focusing on the scenario of obers Vs guards behind green cover at max range. That is such a small case that it qualifies as a minor bug at most. Any attempts to blow it out of proportion with a motive to buff axis, are ridiculous - which is what the rest of the thread is.

Thread: (2) Nexus24 Jul 2022, 13:21 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2018, 22:47 PMWhiteFlash I recommend playing more than a handful of games before these conclusions are reached. Its easy to make assumptions and "feel" certain ways because of wins or losses. Especially on a new map and before more than a few games have been played. Post replays please! Thanks Also "Overall the map lacks the simplicity that good COH2 maps have." it isnt my intention to make a simple map. Simple maps rapidly become stale. This is a competitive map so it will be complex in the potential scenarios and approaches players will be able to take. Good COH1 or 2 maps are never simple. the map feels strong to OST, because of north points covered by MG in buildings, and easy to camp at southern part with defensive emplacements. Can lock RUS t1 out pretty easily. In: Map Sharing
