As a teamgame player, I just don't enjoy the gameplay nearly as much as I did in CoH2

1) Everything is too spammy, I hate when I can spam nothing but 2 or 3 different units and still be competitive at the highest level, which is the case in CoH3. Think about the Jägerschreck spam or old BOIS AT rifle blobs. Or Stug/8-Rad spam and Marder spam from DAK

2) Blobbing near a forward ambulance playstyle STILL completely overpowered 1 year later. CoH3's anti-blob tools are lackluster overall and ambulances themselves are super overtuned. They are fast, hard to destroy, have insane AoE healing speed and they can be used in enemy territory...

3) Has anyone seen heavy tanks in CoH3? For a long time I haven't, now the Tiger apparently is back on the menu, can't wait until it's hard-nerfed again because according to some CoH3 streamers it's completely unacceptable that two A-move AT guns can't stop the Tiger.
Relic wants me to spam medium tanks instead? No thanks, boring af

I think CoH3 teamgames are unplayable at the moment due to a variety of reasons, first and foremost lacking map quality and OP forward reinforce. But I don't really see how CoH2 was any better with regards to late game compositions? Mediums just felt like a complete joke a lot of the time in CoH2 teamgames, and now we have the other extreme.

I don't know about others but I've always found that 45-50 min is the absolute maximum I wanna go in a game, I just get worn out and it becomes completely unfun and draining after that. I think the reasons CoH3 is still somewhat boring to play and especially to watch lie elsewhere.

One critical piece for getting good maps is understanding the game. It would be great to get together a list of things that should NEVER be in a competitive map.

EXAMPLES FROM COH2:
- No buildings on cutoffs.
- 2v2 should have a safe fuel. Dont put it on the mid-line of the map.
- No large HP buildings on important points.

Since the mechanics of Coh3 are different, we need a new set of guidelines for mappers. This needs to come from top players and their experience so far playing Coh3. This is the only thing to ensure we get good maps! So please post here or join the testers portion of the mappers Discord!

QUESTIONS FOR COH3 PLAYERS:
- Are a large number of buildings a problem?
- Put buildings on the cutoffs?
- Do taller buildings give more sight and elevation bonus so dont use them near important points?
- Dont use elevation near important points?

Anything you guys can think up would be helpful.

I've made this point before, the most important thing about a good map is the ABSCENCE of certain dealbreakers. To answer your questions:

1. I personally hate clusters of buildings, but I don't think they have to be dealbreakers. There area few caveats though. For example, there need to be favorable angles to fight against each building. A building should generally not just be "6 windows on each side on top of elevation so that all cover is negated".

2. Cut off buildings I would judge similarly to clustered buildings. I don't like them, but as long as there is an angle to flank it, I don't think they're dealbreakers. The difference might be that for cut off buildings it's preferable to have a completely blind angle due to MG's being oppressive on cutoffs.

3. I think buildings are incorporated into the elevation mechanic.

4. I don't think you should make extensive use of elevation period. At least definitely do not use steep impassable elevation like cliffs or walls. I think these map elements are too intransparent in how they affect the game and interact with different projectiles from different angles. Put bluntly, they're a pretty looking marketing gimmick but don't really fit into CoH gameplay. Furthermore, I would go as far as to say that almost all elevation suffers from these problems to some extent. AT guns not being able to fire in impossible to predict ways, projectiles alwasy hitting the ground from certain angles despite the unit supposedly being in range etc etc. The mechanic just doesn't work well.

I have no clue what you are trying to say, but I would recommend to only use formal language while google translating your text.

Digga, what are you babbling, I'll grab you easily, do you want stress?

It's obvious why you got banned. You posted a really strange rant about the appearence of a relic employee. I don't think your posts are malignant in any way but they are just not socially adequate, I don't know how else to put it. You should really focus on your talents as a mapmaker and modder.


This is true for a lot of the people criticizing relic on reddit and discord as well. They articulate their critiques in a way that at best will be ignored by relic and at worst will insult or demotivate them, understandibly so. And again, I don't think these people are necessarily malignant, they are just getting carried away because they are so used to deranged internet antics. I've tried making this point a few times but it just results in mass downvotes and "Clown Emote" and "consumer whore" responses.

People are literally lacking basic social skills. I don't know if it's that CoH attracts weirdos or that people become weirdos on the internet. I feel like a good Litmus test for whether a piece of internet communication is adequate is to consider whether you'd get your face smashed in if you acted the same way in real life on a consistent basis. If yes it's probably worth reconsidering.
