I have to rant about a few things that annoy the shit out of me with regards to negative user reviews on steam and reddit. Wonder what your thoughts are, don't take this too seriously.

1. In one of the youtube reviews the guy demonstrates how he can recreate the faction symbols in 5 minutes in photoshop.

You answered your own question here. There are a bunch of things you could fix in minutes but are broken since over a year ago???????

2. If someone unfamiliar with CoH comes across the newest iteration and sees shit reviews they will likely never get into the series.

They should avoid the game. It is trash and unfinished. See #1 above.

I agree with your concept of playing for 100' or 1000's of hours. I personally will not even look at this game until they fix team colors and rendering quality. This is day 1 shit, not 5 years later and fully released shit. Every time I look at the horrible color choices they used on points, I want to literally puke. It looks like some 7 year old made the game. I want to drive to Relic and take a dump in their lobby and then explain how thats what they have done to their own game.

3. Why do people completely neglect the strong aspects of CoH3? Doesn't the fact that we have 4 factions and amazing performance make up for some of the shortcomings?

4 factions is only good for the top tier of players and people who play 1v1. The rest of us would like a better experience and more maps. 4v4 only has 2 maps??? In Coh2 I could make a map in a day. Have it cleaned up by day 3 max. So why is there only 2 maps?

4. A bigger playerbase would be so cool, but people actively prevent this from happening by shitting on the game.

Again you have it backwards, Relic shit on us by putting out this trash. SteamCharts shows this games playerbase eroding like my desire to play Coh3 when I saw the first beta test. So the people buying the game think it sucks and are not playing it.

5. Anyone german who gave a negative review because there is no german voice acting needs to seriously ask themselves

I could care lass about voice acting. If anything I am annoyed by how loud the voices are compared to the guns etc. It destroys the immersion.

In essence I agree with your whole post. Everything you said has validity. Coh3 will eventually be the best game in the series. It has great bones.

I too went back and forth on how to review the game. Do I say it is great to get more players to come over? Or do I let Relic know they are sentient dildos from space sent here to ruin our lives? I chose the latter.

Putting out poorly made unfinished trash is so on par with everything they ever do. Every decision they have ever made is the wrong one. Every time they say they will do something they dont.

Having people from the community there gave me hope. But read every post I have made about Relic since 2017 and there is a common denominator. I consistently say "Some one high up at Relic is a moron. And they continue to hold this game back. And people either fear or really like this person because no one has had the balls to say what they are doing is wrong." I hoped it was Duffy, and had hope when he left. But it was not him. The cancer is still there.

Every game they have ever made has broken things that only a moron would ship the game with. And in every game those things have NEVER been fixed. So what hope is there they will fix the 100's of things broken in this game? None.

Looks like they are in the usual place:

Was just watching AE and he seems to be running ReShade. Curiously when he turned the camera to a very sharp angle you could actually finally see some SPECULAR lighting on the map. All of a sudden it looked better. I think adding some contrast may help the specular pop more.

Something weird going on with specular in the game.

This was a 1v1 map. This and the dark 4v4 map both seem to have more specular than most and look much better.

Coh3Stats Desktop app is in Beta from what I gather. Check the webpage for updates.

Why isnt there a button on the COH3 menu interface to at least go to this leaderboard...90% of people will never know it exists and laddering retains players.

OFF TOPIC
Because Relic does not have the slightest clue why people play their game. None.

Initial steam reviews were trash. They have been coming up a little because noobs are buying the game and dont know all of the things that are missing. Anyone who was excited to buy it on day one said "This game is not even close to being done."

There goes the one chance we, as players, had of getting a decent sized community. Previous players dont like it. New players will play for a while then leave because nothing that makes it fun for them is available to them. Relic hid or removed it all.

Sega/Relic needs its house cleaned out. Their management has to go. If I worked there I would have fired so many people by now.

ON TOPIC
If I was PageP I would not waste another minute on a stats site. This game will always be small potatoes, mickey mouse run, waste of time, etc.

Knowing how well Page and his friends are at programming, at least I can take comfort in knowing they have not wasted too much of their time.

Please send him a few bucks to let him know you appreciate his time, work, and more importantly his vision to figure out what people want to see from game stats. It really made Coh2 so much more enjoyable for me personally.
