Noob question. Why does the Thompson have strong medium range power like an assault rifle? Isn't it supposed to be an SMG?
The Thompson was originally designed as an automatic rifle, it fires .45 ACP which is a fatter bullet with more stopping power than the average WWII SMG and it was considered both very reliable and highly accurate. Strong mid-range performance is not completely out of the realm of possibility.
A little late for that. I dearly wish Relic kept working on Dawn of War 3 but the company is not what it was, and I would expect very little from Age of Empires 4 and potentially Company of Heroes 3 if they haven't been sold off after the inevitable disaster of the former.
If you want sandbags that will justify their cost. As for myself, I absolutely loathe the sandbag addiction that has gripped this game since almost every mainline got the ability to build them. I would be glad to see sandbags restricted to Engineers and Conscripts only.
"l" - Faymonville
"r" - Crossroads
"n" - Nexus
"o" - Kholodny
"2xa" - Langreskaya
"r" - Mill Road (I heard rumours it's being ditched in favor of a slightly reworked version of Pripyat Summer)
The question isn't which 1v1 maps will be taken out but rather which ones will end up being played. My only hope is that Lost Glider finally bites the dust.
