More surprised when it turned out those missions lead directly to the skirmish ending if you instead focused from the standard hold majority of points thinking. I tried the skirmish and I was caught by surprise by being thrown random missions in the skirmish, such as holding specific objectives or field testing a type of weapon. Especially with them adding those detachment units, I can see them being spammed a bit on campaign maps by the AI to basically block players so would be nice to be able to pull them into one battle and get them all tied up and then push with a different unit through the area they were previously defending. One thing that always seems to be missing from these sort of campaigns is the ability to tie forces down or to be able to pull other forces into a battle on the campaign map thus creating a hole in a defensive line. I'd like to see the ability to get different results from the interaction then the standard win/lose in realtime = unit destroyed/retreats consequence in the campaign. I'd like to see some creative new ideas in approaching the campaign map, just simply putting it on top of the COH formula wont cut it imho. It does look like the idea of detachments and companies address this a small bit. Even the total war games still struggle with this a bit where there is a point in the campaign where it just becomes busy work pushing through a lot of pointless fodder just to reach the next big step. I am excited for it but I also know the limitations of these sort of campaign maps and am concerned of the single player running out of steam when it gets bogged down on repetitive tasks.
It is a big step away from the campaign map of ardennes assault. The campaign map genuinely looks like it was pulled directly from Rome 2 total war. Surprised with both creative assembly and Relic owned by Sega for quite sometime now that it has actually taken this long for them to start rubbing off each other. I am very excited to see how things develop and how the game turns out! Long live CoH!

The potential is there for CoH3 to grow into the best iteration of this series yet. In conclusion the pre-alpha is incredibly promising. This pre-alpha released is focused purely on the singleplayer experience so I will hold off on further balance and gaming pacing or flow judgements until the dedicated PvP, CoopvAI vertical slice is available. The pacing seems a little off (light vehicles hitting within 2-3minutes rather than 5-6 minutes) and with the removal of the lock on snare (imo the best feature in the game) leaves infantry feeling incredibly vulnerable to well micro'd vehicle play. However, I feel some of the weight and intensity is missing. Its vibrant, colourful and visually impressive. I feel the game is lacking a bit of grit. This can only be a good thing!įinally, my personal take. This means those who have been closest to the core mechanics of the game and keep the community driving forward for so many years have had their chance to share their experiences with the dev team. Its also extremely promising to hear they have been involving senior and experienced members of the community (AE and others). Present an early alpha and welcome feedback from your players.

This is a great example of how to announce a game. The other aspect is the Devs really seem to care.
The focus on close, intense and decisive engagements in addition to how the game rewards unit preservation has absolutely been what makes Company of Heroes stand out from other RTS games and kept such a strong community still playing today. These elements are all in place and look to play a big role again. The squad system, the cover system, unit veterancy, the suppression and retreating systems, the weighted and powerful armour engagements. The fundamentals that make Company Of Heroes one of the most engaging, tightly tuned and unique experiences are all still here. These are very exciting times! There are two things that stand out to me. I have played both CoH1 and CoH2 for over 1000hours each and am a huge fan of the series.
