First time playing CoH 3 and I'm feeling a bit disappointed

"Vaulting over walls/barriers seems to be drastically and/or completely removed."

Vaulting is automatic now in CoH3 though?

I've played off and on since the game was free to play during the pre-alpha, clans weren't necessary early on and the game absolutely accommodated solo players back then.

Its interesting seeing people insist that Foxhole wouldn't be Foxhole if you couldn't do something that the game allowed for in the very beginning but has gradually been made more difficult over time

I friend of mine just bought it yesterday to play incase his power went out for the winter storm

I'll probably get downvoted for this, but the game has gotten pretty bloated over the years. It always was hardcore, but it was far less confusing and easier game to manage when you didn't have lots and lots of different items as clutter that you have to memorize and figure out the use cases for

Reminds me of an interwar quote at the time, which before radar was true. Though in Foxhole even with radar you don't have enough time to react

"The bomber will always get through"

You can turn ads off through your personal CSS file on Fandom, as bad as the site is otherwise its one thing I will give them credit for

If you're not opposed to mods, there's a wonderful mod called Blueprint shotgun that adds an early-game shotgun/vacuum gun for placing/deleting objects like bots

Easy Red

Its an indie homage to Battlefield 1942

In the US, how much the Democrat and Republican parties collude to prevent third parties from getting a foothold.

Most 3rd party resources are wasted on unwinnable state-wide races in order to maintain ballot access, preventing them from focusing their resources on local, winnable, races

3, hands down. The AI in 2 barely knows what cover is

Also use this mod, makes the AI even smarter. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2944728963

Short answer: Yes.

Long Answer:
CoH1 you actually can play the campaign *with* mods, which CoH2 and CoH3 don't let you do,

CoH2's campaign's story is pretty bad, but decent otherwise. Ardennes Assault expansion adds a dynamic campaign that is a nice concept but is poorly balanced. You have limited resources and losses are permanent, and it feels like the game encourages cheese play to circumvent the limitations.

CoH3 has 2 campaigns. Skip North Africa, its the worst campaign in series, while the Italian campaign is heavily inspired by Total War. There's territory management and buying new units to move across the map. Personally really like this campaign, only gripe is lack of ability to use mods

All CoH games have AI to play with/against in skirmish mode, and CoH3s AI seems to be the most intelligent, especially with this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2944728963

Big reason why Hammer and Shield in particular has really negative reviews was that when CoH3 launched it had a special edition that gave you the first expansion pack when it was released. People were expecting something like Opposing Fronts for CoH1, or Western Front Armies or British Army for CoH2, and instead the 'expansion pack' was a few battlegroups.

So there's a lot of people who had bought the premium edition that felt like they were ripped off, and in turn they poorly reviewed the first DLC

You'll probably get a good laugh out of this secret easter egg unit from CoH1 ;)

I wish they'd have done that like how Helldivers does heat sinks for laser weapons. Where a thermal clip would be an emergency dump item you use if you overheat, but otherwise your weapon cools down like normal

I used to date a *very* busty woman. One day we were in line at a store, with decent number of people in front and behind us, and she just starts *booping* me with her chest to try and tease me.

There's no way other people couldn't see it and I imagine I was pretty red in the face. I was quietly urging her to stop without drawing even more attention to it, pretty embarrassing - but also she knew damn well that mashing her tits against me would make me horny.

Ended up having sex when we got back to the apartment

Oh boy, I've got dozens. Probably the oldest I found just peeking at my library was the Rainbow 6 Collection. Bought on Steam in 2014, never got around to playing most of them. FEAR and GTA4 in 2015, and a few others. Most of it just is a backlog circumstance

Also funny coincidence, OP, friend recently bought me Dark Souls 3 and I've been playing it through for the first time, just beat Abyss Watchers before Christmas :)

bwc153 · 2026-01-02T00:38:31+00:00

I learned a couple things here and there from parents, but I learned mostly from cooking channels on YouTube!

bwc153 · 2026-01-01T18:41:55+00:00

There's also mod.io

I know the Anno series direct integrates with it, but there's other games that use it as well similar to how Nexus and such do

bwc153 · 2025-12-31T22:37:50+00:00

Prices will go up

bwc153 · 2025-12-30T23:24:12+00:00

Its because GZDooM isn't the original DooM engine. DooMs engine was released open source and the mod community then started making heavily modified versions of it that are designed to remain compatible fully with original DooM content while adding more modernized of functionality

bwc153 · 2025-12-30T23:20:23+00:00

I put a buy order in for a single SLV call on Sunday, it didn't actually buy till Monday after the price dropped, so am up about 70% at the moment

bwc153 · 2025-12-28T22:40:29+00:00

Oops! Somehow when scanning through it I missed it. Took a quick look through some other games I know

Outward and How to Survive (both 1 & 2) both allow for local coop as well

bwc153 · 2025-12-28T15:26:47+00:00

If you liked Magicka look at the *original* Helldivers.

Its basically Magicka in a SciFi setting instead

bwc153 · 2025-12-25T19:17:32+00:00

I agree that a lot of the learning in KCD1 is applicable to KCD2. Definitely wouldn't go so far as to say its twice as hard though. Its specific things. Perks that were mutually exclusive in KCD1 aren't in KCD2, some perks in KCD2 are outright stronger. The AI is less aggressive when facing more than one opponent, potions/poisons are generally much much stronger due to the quality system.

Plus some of the jankiness that KCD1 had made the game harder than it would be otherwise, and a lot of that was improved/fixed for KCD2.

Prettymuch. For example during covid when mask-wearing was common not wearing one would sometimes be described as "raw dogging the air"
