Player count is dropping hard

[KanyeWest]

People are leaving this game so fast.. what the heck happened?! Did everyone go back to COH2?

[Crumb]

Currently player count for coh2 2.8k and coh3 is 3.8k. Game wasn't truly finished or polished when it was released hence the low numbers and the player drop.

I mean its 2am in the US lol

[Crokite]

The line has been about the same, no drastic drops and no drastic peaks. It's morning 08:48 here in Sweden and early morning/morning/early day in the EU, people are generally studying/working at this time of day.

A lot of rationalizing and justifying going on here.

No excuses.

RTS is dead. Especially when you lay on these sequels.

The only way to revive this genre is to go back to the drawing board and create a pièce de résistance that nobody could have predicted.

That takes a mountain of talent. And an imagination that many couldn't comprehend.

It would be the equivalent of Shock & Awe in the world of video games.

CoH2 is more fun than CoH3 at the moment if you just look at multiplayer PvP or PvE.

[Devoli]

COH2 is a finished and polished game
COH3 is an early release missing many important features and multiplayer maps

[Il Presidente]

Every single game you see the same strats and blobs cheese on both factions, you cant do anything different

Games have their highest peak during european waking hours, not the US. So what hour it is in the US doesnt really matter very much

[Malecite]

I've put probably 40 hours into the new game and I'm just bored.

Each faction only has one battle group that's competitive with the current Meta. USF is airborn, Wehr is Luft, and DAK is combined arms, Brits actually do have some flexibility as their core units are all pretty good.

Matchmaking has me playing against top 50 players one second and complete noobs that can't build or position units the next.

There are like 2 maps for 3V3 or 4V4 which is my preferred mode of play.

So yea same as COH2 I bought it, played it, then put it down for almost a year till the game got fixed. I'll still buy the DLC to support the Devs because I love the COH franchise, it's just a shame this launch is going the exact same way as COH2.

RTS wouldn't be so dead if the devs actually tried to release a working functioning product that is fun. CoH3 would be a success if it wasn't released in abysmal state. SC2 was released more than 10 years ago and still is the top of the genre and you'll find 1v1 matches very quickly in it

Gone to Call to Arms - Ostfront until performance and balancing is done. Come back in 6 months and I'm sure it will be as good, if not better than COH2.

[Emjay]

These threads are just toxic and boring. Every game has a bunch of people trying to follow the trend. No one gives a ♥♥♥♥ unless it stops them playing the game.

If you go to a bakery and buy a bread roll and put it in your mouth to discover it is half baked dough do you swallow it or spit it out?

Depends how hungry you are... I would probably swallow it though.

I am not playing right now because i am too heart broken to see the game in this state.
If i wanted to play COH1 I would have just downloaded it and played. I don't need to pay so much money for a game i already owned.
Like who thought i was a good idea to limit squads to one specific role and nothing else?
Riflemen only have bars and that is it. No more weapon racks to allow versatility. Or if you upgrade a weapon it gives you two maxing yourself out and not allowing you to choose two different kinds.

As i said i am heart broken and I don't see any push back, so i will again have nightmares of Riflemen running into tank fire and trying to get their sticky grenades thrown and then being a meat shield slowing them down for anti-tank gun to role up.
