I am quitting, Company of Meta 3

[Arashenstein]

I defended this game so hard I even posted a positive review being optimistic they will fix it and it comes out of the "early access" shape. But no, the gameplay is only about Meta, no player dares to do anything different, whatever side you play it is always same build order same battlegroup same strategy and of course SAME maps over and over because there is no veto map pool.

I ignored the cartoonish graphics + I ignored the "store" priority over game features + I ignored the absolutely horrible sound design of tanks and FG42... (that FG42 though) but I am burnt out to this point. Imagine you release a game with 4 different factions at release which is totally awesome fro a COH game but you design the game in a way that all 4 factions only stick to ONE tactic that is so cheap and noobish but it works like a charm.

Wehr = 99% Lufftwaffe
US Before patch = 99% airborn and scout spam
US after patch = 99% armour and assault engi spam
Brits = Always indian arty
DAK = simcity 88 with Bersa spam in team games and engi spam in 1v1 no one makes any other unit but ENGINEER and free fuel halftruck spam

They have been working somewhat hard to get this simple feature added as an urgent priority to save the game.

lol

Releasing the store with the first update was greedy. They should of waited til they fixed the game up. Plus I looked at the "store"and it is pretty barren. They could have taken advantage of improving the game first so they could create more content to add to it. Priorities...

Relic doesn't care, they already have your money?

Probably. They could have released the store at launch and it would of gotten less attention. Or as already mentioned waited a bit longer. Regardless, it is not a big deal... all games these days do the store thingy. Companies do make games for money after all. I still think it could of waited a bit though

Thought that was you.

Was wondering when you'd crack.

Everyone breaks eventually. No shame in that.

As long as you have nothing invested.

I totally agree with you. I can look past all of COH3s issues but the meta only deal is what bothers me the most.

I only played USF for a long time but I refused to play the boring airborne meta so I suffered through other random build orders which rarely worked it in my favor.

Then I tried Wehr and wow they have so many tools and different/cool units and call ins. You can just spam mg42s and Jager units and rely on oppressive call ins to bail you out if you fall behind.

Then I tried Brits. Brits are awesome compared to USF and I wonder why they gave UKF LITERALLY ALL OF THE ARTILLERY BUT GAVE USF NONE?!!!!!!?!

I CAN THROW A ROCK FARTHER THAN THE SCOTT AND THE WHIZZBANG CAN SHOOT!!!

PROBABLY GOING TO GET BANNED FOR YELLING NOW.

Honestly Coh2 had the worst launch ever. The week 1 DLC commander with G43 + Tiger and bombing in one tree...

[Xinner]

totally agree, the meta is what made me quit, plus the lack of tools to improve at the game (no replay, no stats...)

[WARWOLFMELF]

and in 1vs1 there always be STUG III.

In coh 3, the most commun strategy is ambulance farming on autoreinforcement. Every faction has it , and with autoreinforcing outside of the base, you have very skillful game with truck. I still cant belive how coh 3 plays, everytime I try, I have impression that i'm playing on my cell phone.

see you in NEBULOUS: Fleet Command

[LinkZeppeloyd]

Meaning no disrespect... I am someone who enjoys COH/COH2/COH3 in coop vs. AI.

But... you guys are in here complaining about "meta" in an... RTS game... the very definition of meta slave? Starcraft? In multiplayer?

I guess, I don't know to me, the fact that meta is 100% purely mandatory in MP is the reason i don't play MP in an RTS game. But I guess that's news to some people?
