Oddly enough there are more 3v3 games logged in the latest patch than 2v2.

I see that now on Coh2 stats (Legend). My thoughts were more that higher rank players may not be playing yet. People that would abuse this if it is a weakness.

Just thinking about the arty issues in Coh2, makes me hate Coh3 even more. Since it is painfully obvious it needed a "Recon here" button on the minimap. It just reminds me how the people making that game clearly never played it.

Coh 2 multiplayer when your forced to choose the same commander every single time and the exact same build every time was lifeless and boring.

^ This

Have not heard this complaint in Coh3, but the commander choice is limited and no one is really playing 3v3 or 4v4 yet.

The skill trees are back + capture resource points are COH1 style + base building is back + RNG is heavily reduced and some other stuff which are more "COH1" stuff.

But again we have capturing system staying in circle while fighting

The vCoh commanders were changed from Coh2 style to create a less rigid, boring, and predictable teching structure. Everyone liked this idea.

For as long as I remember people were saying the Coh2 point system was not as good as vCoh. The Coh2 system was very limiting when mapping. There were only a few "good" layouts.

A lot of complaints I see for Coh3 are the same that were said about Coh2 (vCoh?). Relic tried to make every faction unique to play. This adds replayability and keeps the game fresh for a long time. So each faction has a weird gimmick like 0 CP call-ins. As soon as the balance team started making each faction have all of the similar tools, they started to lose their gimmicks and people complained. It seems like Relic tried to get the best balance of having all the tools and having a different style.

From a design standpoint, Relic seemed to listen to their audience and give them what they wanted. There are some growing pains like call-ins, TTK, and blobs that need addressed. They just have to actually do it ... which may take a very long time. At this point long is good. Employees have jobs and we get constant changes to look forward to. No boring meta for years on end.

They have Marcus and DevM for that?

No idea if those guys do that stuff. As designers they may be focusing on game play. Like designing units, balance, etc.

It seems like a UI Design issue. There is no option to see the stats. You get "Exit to Main Menu" as the only option I have seen. In Coh2, you could still see the stats even after leaving to the main menu.

I have no way to look at or test it anymore. Even though I was banned I could still skirmish Coh3. But I uninstalled/reinstalled it and now I cant run Coh3 at all because it needs to connect to the Relic servers on its first run. Which it cant.

Maybe I am just a mentally challenged candy brain. This has been shown to be true in the past.

I think we are missing the real balance issue: PvP vs PvE.

We have already had several balance updates. Yet, skirmish players still cant even see the stats page at the end of the game unless they play the match to completion.

As you were. Great post Orangepest.
