I went back and played the Blitzkrieg mod for CoH 1...

[VEF215]

...and wow. Blows CoH 3 out of the water in terms of presentation. The sounds of weapons, shots etc. How tanks look and feel and move. I don't like the very low time to kill for infantry though. But presentation wise, CoH 3 looks horrible in comparison.

How can modders work on a game from 2006 and have a superior product, when compared against an actual paid professional dev team releasing their product in 2023. CoH 1 is coming up on 20 years old. Blows my mind.

I suppose it comes down to new / inexperienced developers, less budget allocated to their team than they really need, poor direction from inside the studio. But there should be no way CoH 3 should be getting dunked on by CoH 1 still. CoH 3 should be blowing us away and impressing the hell out of us. Let's be honest here.

Yet another guy comparing a finished game, that even moders have been working on to make even better, and compares it to a technical test version of a game not out yet.

They could use the finished game as base and build upon it. Their problem, if they try to reinvent the wheel.

BK mod is my favorite experience of COH, hands down. I think COH3 makes a lot of great mechanical improvements but due to lack of "total conversion" modding and basically the same set of tools we were given in COH2, you will not see anything close to BK or what we like about any of the original COH modding present in 3.

What largely made COH legendary for so many, was the ability to make the game play the way YOU wanted to play it.

K, but gameplay is better for CoH 3. I don't play CoH zoomed in to play Hello Hans Dress up Adventures.

Let's not kid ourselves, CoH 3 will look incredibly similar to what we just saw. It ships in a month dude. And yes I am making that comparison, even a technical test / beta whatever you want to call it of CoH 3 should look and feel leaps and bounds ahead of CoH 1.

It's like the people on Darktide coping that it was just a beta and the game releasing in 1 month would be totally different,oh the fools never learn

Thanks for sharing this. So there's a few things happening here.

A major lighting pass did not make it into this build in time for the Tech Test.

For some users, game scaling may default to a low setting causing low resolution and blurriness. Please ensure your game scaling is set to 100% for best results.

We've identified a bug which causes shadows to be poorly rendered.

We've identified a bug which causes large portions of maps to lose their terrain detail

We've got most of these fixes internally, but likely won't have them ready in time to deploy to the Tech Test.

Darktide was a different situation. They claimed they locked features in the beta that would be unlocked for launch. When launch claimed, they unlocked like 3 missions. Crafting isn't even feature complete yet.

CoH3 would have to do zero bug/balance changes, and not release single player to compare to what Darktide is going through.

Blitzkrieg Mod is much better than CoH3
Wish mod makers could make a separate game of their own , instead of dealing with CoH3

Good we have Warno atleast

Blitzkrieg mod is garbage. It's not COH anymore
