Thread: [CoH 3] (8) Hill 20916 Jun 2023, 03:55 AM Hey .ORG folks! I wanted to share my latest creation here, Hill 209. I took heavy inspiration from Rommel's failed Easter Battle along Tobruk's Red Line in April, 1941. It's quite a large map but provides a mix of open space for battles of maneuver in the south and tighter sight lines among rocks and burning tanks in the north. I've also managed to make some vehicle wrecks as cover which was quite a pain. Hopefully Relic adds more destroyed vehicle assets into the game I've benefitted from feedback from Greyshot 117 as I've submitted this map as part of his 4v4 competition. You can check out all entries by visiting the collection on Steam. There is a community vote prize too where you can vote for Hill 209 or one of the other nine! In: Map Sharing
Thread: Greyshot Production 4v4 Map Contest30 May 2023, 04:17 AM Hi .org! I've made a Steam Collection that has all ten submissions for easy reference. In the description is a link to the original Reddit post where you can find more information there. There's some good variety here so I'm interested to see how things turn out! In: COH3 Central

Thread: Discussion - Current state of Tournaments9 May 2023, 06:15 AM Jump back to quoted post4 May 2023, 15:12 PMHannibal Let's not kid ourselves, CoH3's launch is worse than CoH2, by far. On a technical level, both games are/were pretty bad. Which one is better or worse is probably up to personal taste and another debate that has been fought multiple times by now, so I'm not going to re-re-reheat it. Objectively, CoH3 is in a better technical state than CoH2 at launch. CoH didn't launch with the "battle servers" or whatever that made connections more stable and the quantity of crashes per time played was so incredibly higher in coh2 than in coh3. Also, CoH3 has great optimization going for it, unlike COH2, which still struggles to this day. I only heard of a few people with AMD GPUs having significant issues around launch, and that was fixed with an update post-coh3 launch or by remembering to update the driver. Overall, CoH3 is struggling because of a lack of maps and slow pace of balance changes, among various other issues (clunky friend/invite system; should've just stuck with Steam's features exclusively). Community communication has been quite normal for Relic which can be described as too slow and with too little information which makes players even more frustrated. The glue holding the game together has been the four factions and optimization/stability. But this glue won't hold forever. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Discussion - Current state of Tournaments2 May 2023, 15:54 PM Jump back to quoted post2 May 2023, 10:09 AMblvckdream Why? There is a group of "elite" community members that had a say in the development of COH3. There is/was only so much that we can do. The closed group is really a courtesy. We have little direct impact on the development of the game because we're not the manager or SEGA telling Relic employees what to do. Of course, I don't want to say more than I'm allowed, but we were always pushing to make the multiplayer more fun and to make players want to come back. There are many things I'd change and priorities I'd like to have switched around but it seems that SEGA wouldn't tolerate another delay. In: COH3 Central

Thread: SEGA workers are forming a union27 Apr 2023, 03:17 AM Solidarity to the SEGA employees unionizing. If the union is largely democratic and the leadership reflects the views of employees rather than being cozy with management, there shouldn't be any sort of collaboration between the union and the company when it comes to exploitative business practices. If anything, the union would be neutral towards those exploitative practices because the union doesn't have a fiduciary responsibility to SEGA's shareholders to maximize profits. The union's goal is protecting the employees' health, well-being, and employment status. If anything, the latter point might help mitigate the greed but who knows. In: COH3 Central

Thread: popular COH3 livestreams - not on coh2.org12 Apr 2023, 16:30 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2023, 16:00 PMgunther09 recently I see again and again streams for COH3 on twitch, that are not shown here on coh2.org frontpage. A current example is: https://www.twitch.tv/fengrush Currently 600+ viewers, but not mentioned on the homepage. coh2.org used to be a good go-to page for streams. Do streamers have to register there? If yes, that is likely not going to work. Or how does it work? Yes, players have to register and link their Twitch account here to get featured on the home page. Unfortunately, that feature does not currently function In: COH3 Central
