Thread: Merging Coh2 and Coh 3 for a better game.20 May 2023, 09:42 AM Yeah even if it was possible, this isn't going to happen... The developers would need to have been gigantic fans of COH 2 and all the subtle nuances and additions that gradually helped it become a rock solid RTS. On the evidence of COH 3, they aren't. Don't get me wrong it may yet get there, but we're doing it the hard way. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Operation Brass Leopard19 May 2023, 08:49 AM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2023, 14:21 PMMajorBloodnok The absence of community involvement is distinctly odd. e.g.prior to the COH2 launch, Re3lic invited members to submit voice lines for use in the game. This time, the community was ignored. .... Immersion is/was part of the fun of COH1/COH2. But tinny MG sounds and too much sub-par voice acting detracts. If they want to be COH1-lite, they may as well shift over the COH1 Wehrmacht voicelines at least. Agreed. I'm hesitant to judge something like voicelines too harshly as it is, after all, all down to personal taste, but they seem to have become less and less memorable and interesting with each new iteration of the game. Excellent in the first, passable in the second and now fairly generic and unmemorable. For me the exact same thing is true of the campaign. Multiplayer has always been my main focus in COH but there seems to have been less and less effort put into the campaigns with each new edition of the series. Not a trend that exactly fills you with confidence. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Operation Brass Leopard18 May 2023, 09:55 AM The sooner they swallow their pride and start allowing community maps to be used officially, the better. I knew it would be slow but the lack of variety is getting pretty brutal. In: COH3 Central
Thread: COH3 Campaigns were pretty bad16 May 2023, 12:03 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2023, 11:04 AMKatitof I've played Generals, but I'm too geriatric to remember more then putting bunkers on chinese super tanks. It was back when you could use suicide bombers with funny voicelines in an RTS and nobody made a fuss, the good old days! In: COH3 Central
Thread: CoH3 Relic's Survey11 May 2023, 14:51 PM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2023, 14:31 PMKatitof Not enough transgender, non binary, dual soul apache helicopters playing. Its a crazy, reality denying narrative for sure. I don't envy the kids going through college/university at the moment. That's where it seems to be the most fervent, almost like a religion.

Thread: Discussion - Current state of Tournaments11 May 2023, 11:39 AM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2023, 09:54 AMGiaA What on earth are you talking about. It actually boggles my mine that someone who was around for CoH2's launch would make such a claim. I agree that on a technical level its not even close, COH 3 is in a far better state. But I think Hannibal is referring to the game as a whole, the slow updates, poor communication and the lack of features etc. All of that stuff is pretty much standard behaviour from Relic at this point.

Some people have awful taste, as evidenced by the fact that Company of Heroes 3 still has people playing it. You are consistent, I have to respect that. Yeah. Thinking about it with my nostalga goggles off, the formula hasn't really changed much between now and then has it. I wonder if I would enjoy those campaigns quite as much now as I did back then... It does seem to be a very tough genre to evolve when it comes to campaigns and single player. You never know, maybe the guys at Blackbird will be able to surprise us. In: COH3 Central
Thread: COH3 Campaigns were pretty bad10 May 2023, 12:02 PM Jump back to quoted post9 May 2023, 16:40 PMVermillion_Hawk RTS campaigns are never good and they never really have been. Yeah, no.... There have been some pretty great ones over the years. Particularly enjoyed Starcraft, DOW 2 and the Command and Conquer ones back in the day, it's all just a matter of taste though i suppose. Once i really dig into skirmish and multiplayer i quickly run out of patience for campaign missions unless they are really exceptional. EDIT: Warcraft 3 would be on the list for me as well, had great fun. Back when Blizzard was Blizzard. The COH 1 campaign and its subsequent expansions were great, granted it was about 10 years ago so i'm sure it hasn't aged particularly well, but I found myself actually caring about some of the characters. The COH 2 campaign sucked though and the most recent one for COH 3 was even worse. In: COH3 Central
