Well first let me just state that I understand it is Alpha and pre-release. With that said I also played the COH 2 Alpha and Beta before COH 2 launched and while COH 2 had alot of technical problems the gameplay was fun, faster paced and offered many Quality of Life fixes over the original.
So I am comparing COH 2 Alpha with COH 3 Alpha.
COH 3 Issues
-UI
The UI is mobile friendly/inspired which clearly shows with how bad the UI is. Everything about it is a downgrade over any previous Relic game. Even Dawn of War 3 had a great UI. Normally I am not one to complain about such a thing but it is really that bad. It provides NO Information at all and provides even less information than before.
COH 2 UI - Simple, Effective, Easy to see and Access
COH 3 UI - Literally shows me nothing of value though graphics are nice
Why is the Mini Map Crooked and not flush in the corner? Also they removed the Tactical Map, a Sequel should add/improve upon current features not remove them. Also you cannot Shift Que to capture territory via the mini map like you can in COH 2. One of the best COH 2 quality of life features over COH 1 is gone.
-Camera
The Camera is super zoomed in and off angle. It is Company of Heroes not X-COM 2, I dont need to be be that close in.
COH 3 = 1 Step Forward 2 Steps Backward
Watch AE s youtube vid. he s talking about the UI and it's good. he explains why |

Honestly i would just scrap the 3v3 Mode.
Its easier to balance out maps, you have a larger player pool etc. 3 friends play with 1 random which works absolutely fine in other games (counter strike, Rainbow six, etc.).
with the larger player pool its much easier to balance out the player search |
hmmm, maybe coh1 and coh2?
what you mean is contrast. They do this because its easier to see and Differ units, Terrain, Buildings etc.
BTW: In Coh1 the Germans had blue (!) uniforms for better visibility on the screen. |
Why CoH3 looks like a bad mobile game? why the game is so cartoonish? Also, interface looks terrible, everything is messed up, all descriptions are microscopic, all effects are way too bright and unrealistic. What happebed?
Name me please a not-cartoonish RTS with good Graphics |
Why OKW has 50mm puma as stock unit? There was only a tiny handful of them.
Because its a game about WW2, not WW2 sim.
Also exactly the same people would cry when there are no iconic tanks like churchill or tiger in the game |

First of all
THX RELIC YOUR GAME WILL BE A BANGER!!!!! if you keep on your way as you showed it will be a huge huge success.
to Topic:
they said in in Gameplay reveal they wil talk about north africa later or next year. In the CGI trailer we heard the Radio transmission to Rommel. They also talked about more factions
I'm almost entirely sure it will be a New Map in Africa with a German/Italian campaign
ofc Speculation based on:
- I'm sure they want to showcase their whole unit roster in campaign
- mixing up things for single player experience
- 2 factions still not seen
- the african theatre isn't as historally burdened as the euro theatre
- Rommel is a well known historical figure and would be a good selling point (play as the Famous desert fox etc...)

a lot also comes down to animations, graphics and atmosphere in this game. People lose themselves in balance discussions a bit too much. For me the one thing that just stands out so much in htis game:
The graphics, the sound, the voice acting, the animations, the models, animations, degree of detail, little things like the holes in the wooden church when tanks fires in them. this is what makes this game feel "alive" like none other before.
seriously. i often tilt my camera ingame, even in ongoing mp matches (no joke) and it feels like a war movie. this is the game i wanted since my childhood. and i got it and still love it
of course, along with the tactical possibilities and game principles in this game
if it has dow3 / Warcraft / Starcraft unit animations and cartoony looks because of "visibility", i will punch my monitor with a fist and jump out of the next window |
