[BETA ON YOU WANKERS] Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Posts
not on the Essence/Havok 3 engine they didn't.
Not true about it being a map favored for the brits. The map sucks yes and is horribly designed for a 3v3 but a brit map no, definitely favors any sort of artillery though for either side. Have you not seen the new german artillery, the fucking dirty bastard known as the Hummel? The problem with that map is how easy the shit turns into a Mexican stand off. The brits build their priest and the Germans build their Hummel’s and Marder 3’s and everyone pummels each other through the fog of war.
If its set to be VP it’s a game of who gets the island and turtles up the fastest and bleeds the enemy out, if its annihilation its becomes a test of fortitude and patience.
It is a god-awful map but its shortcomings really lend itself to some incredibly intense close combat and a long stretches of tense mustering of forces for that murderous trek across the island bridges.
Recent patches fixed a lot of the connection issues and I was playing game after game last night with no issue, check the usual suspects...router/firewall etc etc
Well it used to be "press this to equip squad with pea shooters". Little bit of an over-buff.
Should get up the Brit stuff later tonight in the OP.
Now if you attack an FG42 wielding falsch squad with anything wearing boots you will lose
Yea, they were ripping apart my BAR riflemen like it was cake. If they reduced its accuracy while on the movie it would be much more balanced in my opinion.
I was going to make a joke here about putting gigantic boots on a tank but then your comment still applies.
I dunno, the first few times I used them they kind of gave me that "shouldn't have upgraded them at all" feeling. Today though I had one fallschirmjager squards take on three rifleman squads. It was quite awesome.
I think Americans have become the weakest army. Panzer Elite can just spam PzGrens with G43s and tear them apart very early on. If the game makes it past that it is usually an exercise in futility.
the original has been out for awhile, Opposing fronts is in open beta atm.
EvE: Vetitum/Venitum
i believe he means is it still horribly unstable
Ahh, my bad.
It varies. Automatch works for me and they have been improving it slowly but surely. Most of my connection issues have been improved.
On the upside, the people quitting have given me four "victories" though...:winky:
Change your settings to high. The beta comes with low-quality graphics and I believe changing the settings messes it up. Silly, I know, but it is a beta.
