New Maps and Features - COH3 Patch 1.8.0

First!

Best part of every patch, the tight breakdowns

Alam el Halfa was the winner of the CoH Worldbuilders Mapping Competition!

It's interesting to see these munition-heavy maps, 80 was always the minimum standard. And then Pachino might be like a gut punch. Low muni, low fuel, might just be brutal.

4v4s is a disaster right now. The matchmaking is so potato that I can tell 7/10 games are decided in the first 6 minutes.
Sometimes i tend to just leave as the potatoes can't even figure out the game is over so they never surrender.
Naturally the awful matchmaking breeds toxicity in team games from the non-potatoes. Its a lazy fix to a lazy system.

I was waiting for the Guru to cover 1.8. Love ya bud. Seems like a modest patch but good stuff as we approach the larger ones. .

balance is unhinged, nerf allies buffed axis.... is sturmpanther back at it again?

they should add soviets

They said the wanted players to spend more time in that initial infantry only fight, i guess the low fuel is to keep you from teching up and using vehicles early on.

Chat was insanely toxic in group play in CoH2 so I guess this is a decent solution. I always did 3v3 and 4v4 with a buddy and I always say GLHF. We still both remember the time someone replied with "get c*ncer" and there was literally nothing we could do except quit the game or ignore it.

Dak flak nerf is gold

Time for a poop! Time for Tightrope!

And its on sale right now. Do you guys think its worth it?

Why do they put so many garrisons and green cover in every map....

thank you for the breakdown tightrope!

Actually in disbelief they finally let you hide chat.

The new 2v2 maps looks awesome

My initial feeling is that inf goes down much quicker now, encouraging blobbing in team games.

The fact that there are developers that do this 'Disabled by default' for chat or even allow it to begin with is just horrible. Gamers are social, if they play MP its because it is played with other people even if people can sometimes be inconvenient to play with, removing chat from games is one of the dumbest moves a company can make. I personally stopped playing For Honor exactly because of the lack of chat.

Yeah, appreciate the break down as usual. Though Relic attempting to fix random people(s) behavior through a video game via chat is a little bit of a stretch. You can simply just ignore it and block them after the game. Usually, that works just fine. Plus if your reading chat while in the middle of the game anyways, you're not macroing enough lol. Its a RTS PC game. Relax

DAK Flak isn't pinning anymore also got 10 fuel more expensive, I think

i think the pachino changes are a little too agressive in terms of cut off

Love the chat disable feature. Too mamy turds ruining the game. I just want to relax and play a fun game without someone sitting on a log insert and whining.

I understand the chat change. I would say at least 70% of team chat use is non-constructive/douchey, and the other team has nothing of value to communicate. This game and CoH2 both have huge problems with toxic players.

Hey y’all , I was a huge coh 1+2 nerd and when 3 dropped it all just rubbed me the wrong way , that being said with coh 2 no longer being supported and the meta being stale for a couple years now I just can’t keep going back to the well. Will coh 3 scratch the itch yet ? It seems like there has been at least a turn around but I’m just not sure and would love some of the communities feedback . All that being said thanks tightrope for all you do and for the coh2 casts still coming down the pipe

thanks

the should add the old language filter from coh2 again

"Kinda sad that Relice decided that best way for new players to experience the game ... is to not be able to talk to each other"
Since CoH's community is sooo toxic, I'd say this decision makes sence to me. ACtually, I wanted this change since CoH2 I'd say.

Oh no, a talking head commenting on the nice flowers added to a COH3 map. Dear talking head why don't you comment instead why the players that adquired the whole series of COH (1, 2 & 3) went back to play COH2 and ignored COH 3 after trying it?

It's not sad that relic decided that the best way for new players to experience the game is not chatting. It's sad that community is so incredibly aggresive and insults new players to the point of not wanting to play. Relic has done the good thing.

These new maps are awesome.

You've missed Pachino 2v2 map tweaks and actually high contrast mode was in previous patch and it was the same as now so particularly useless

finally the chat feature, needed that

I understand the chat cut off because to be perfectly honest back in coh2 days I decided to stop playing online altogether.
Far too much toxicity, far too many ppl willing to say and do really hateful spiteful shit.. and coh is one of the 'friendlier' communities!
I only play with friends or ppl I befriended back then ingame if and when I do go online.
Mostly it's against 4 expert computers..somewhat predictable but still very tough gameplay.
Anyway
Great video mate 👍
