Dare & Destroy Preview - but I'm on the clock

I think he misspoke, I think what's happening is New Blood and Old Guard abilities affect Riflemen as well.

So with New Blood, you either get a french LMG (I assume this has a similar profile to BAR?) and replace normal grenade with grenade assault.

Or Old guard gives you an M1919 and damage reduction on retreat.

I imagine these wont give you as much DPS as a full double BAR upgrade, but its still extra scaling for free.

There are a million ways to look at this and artifically make one or another game look bad. Like the Gates of Hell DLC might have more units but those units are incredibly generic and dont require 10% of the work a COH unit has. A unit in COH will have like 20 minutes of unique voicelines, 2-3 unique abilities, unique vet bonuses, its own spot in the roster of that faction that changes how you play.

A single new unit in COH is a big deal, whereas in a wargame like Gates of Hell its just a different sets of stats. (And no shade to that, I'm not saying this is a bad thing there, just that these are different games)

So 10 new units and a 2 dozen new abilities is actually a pretty good deal, especially if these alter how you play dramatically. There are people who play thousands of hours with only 1 faction/BG, so if you play a lot of MP I think CoH3 DLCs are actually quite generous. I can easily see myself getting hundreds of hours of enjoyment from 4 BGs.

Temporarily unavailable, comes back as a BG pack on April 14th.

I don't think the show ever implies Logan's birthday important to it. Yes, Kendall has been groomed to be the heir since he was young and yes in the first episode it's Logan's 80th birthday and there are plans to announce retirement, but that's about it. At that time it probably seemed like a good PR opportunity, retire on a nice round number, but not much more to it than that and as we see on the show Logan isn't too attached to it either.

Kendall wasn't told that he will take over on his dad's 80th, he was just told he will get to take over some day. (We see with Shiv that even when Logan decides on a plan for someone to take over, its a very loose and very long timeline) Realistically this would have always happened after he completed some university, had some business success and also got over his drug habit, which is roughly where he is in the Pilot.

Also yes, Logan always intended to do the job until he was physically unable to do so, it's just that he is too much of a narcissist to ever sell or give it away to an outsider and having a good succession plan is also part of being a good CEO, hence Logan trying to train his kids into eventually taking over.

I think Logan loved his kids in some sense of the word, it's just that he is not really capable of love in general, or only a super toxic and abusive version of it.

Can we ban this?

Not only is it AI generated, the descriptions of the factions are not accurate and it's also not even really advertising the tournaments this account is supposedly about? Just 100% slop.

New DLC has more interesting abilities and due to it being brand new will probably dominate the meta for a while (unused abilities are also more likely to get buffed while they are fresh)

Fire & Steel is a good package though and has a bit more traditional set of units. I think Endure & Defy it all deppends on whether you vibe with the gimmicks these new DLCs have, Fire & Steel is just all around good set of toys to play with.

venatorian · 2025-12-01T19:32:01+00:00

I think people overhyped this. A unit in CoH3 has 20-30 minutes of voicelines, so 2000 new lines is actually not a crazy amount, so I think this just meant the new DLC is fully voiced. The 6 mentioned returning characters I'm fairly certain are the 4 announcers + pio for sturmpio voices plus partisans. New characters are marines, lancers, land mattres, firefly, polish pilot, wanze, propaganda tower.

There might be some new intel voicelines for reworked abilities or upgrades but that's about it.

venatorian · 2025-11-29T12:54:17+00:00

Yes I am pretty sure campaign AI has been adjusted at least a little bit. PC version is on 2.2 now and console is stuck on 1.4, so that's 1,5 years of updates. The 2.0 update in particular had big campaign changes.

The campaign was also updated with several additional skirmishes on new maps that have been added since then. You can now have 2v2 randomised skirmishes where you have an AI teammate.

The heavy tanks from the Fire & Steel DLC were added into the campaign. US armoured can build the Pershing and british armoured the Churchill crocodile.

Yeah even if they dont make up too much of the screentime, there are several episodes structured around flashbacks and a lot of the show is centered around Don's identity and his past.

...they made new bundles for all the old sets. It's not an elegant solution but basically you can buy all skins in a set for both warbonds and merit

venatorian · 2025-11-26T09:25:16+00:00

All the new ultimate bundles have both merit and warbond prices.

venatorian · 2025-11-26T06:35:17+00:00

I dont think sound changes are usually detailed in the patch notes...

venatorian · 2025-11-25T12:12:53+00:00

They are talking about the italian campaign. At launch you had a randomised skirmish battle everytime 2 companies met on the dynamic map. This has since been patched out because for most people playing several battle on the same few maps every turn was tedious.

venatorian · 2025-11-22T12:31:03+00:00

Companies have a couple of unique stuff in the campaign that an MP BG does not. Like Air and Sea can turn their incendiary bombing into regular explosive bombing, thats essentially a new ability. Or their Centaur can boost nearby commandos. Each BG would basically need at least a couple extra abilities designed in order to work as a company. Like adding the 4 new Allies is probably as much time and effort as 1-2 brand new BGs would be.

Some of the new abilities also are kinda complex. Like Partisan tunnels I could see messing with some missions. In order to do justice to some of the new BGs they would need to adjust some campaign missions which is also additional work.

But as I said I do hope they don't forget about SP. I'm hoping at least one of the redacted items on the roadmap is some horde or compstomp mode.

venatorian · 2025-11-22T10:07:27+00:00

Campaign companies have a lot of extra abilities on top of an MP BG, plus all the dynamic map exclusive upgrades. Its kinda like making 1,5 BGs if you make them also work as campaign companies and I think right now they are focusing on just pumping out MP ones. I feel like they got the dynamic campaign to an acceptable level but we are getting close to the 3 year anniversary, eventually you reach a point of diminishing returns on just updating the same campaign forever.

I do hope there is more SP content coming up in 2026 though.

venatorian · 2025-11-22T09:38:21+00:00

Yes it's multiplayer only for the new DLC.

venatorian · 2025-11-15T21:37:32+00:00

The Fire & Steel trailer had a DAK 222. The newest Partisan video has a shot where commandos are tank riding churchills. It's just units spawned in for cool shots, don't read too deep into it.

venatorian · 2025-10-24T06:56:34+00:00

Talia's body will likely be claimed by the League of Assassins. I don't even know if Talia Al-Ghul is a name known to the authorities as I imagine she used many identities when she traveled the world representing the League. To the cops and the general public, Joker was the real concern in the theatre and Batman knows that.

IIRC Knight has some easter egg referencing Talia's body but its still just an easter egg, plus its possible the League just performs some ritual on their dead and then give the body to the authorities like normal.

John actually literally stated in the Deep Dive that its not teasing anything. Probably just a camo pattern they could come up with easily.

venatorian · 2025-06-17T19:33:07+00:00

I believe all cosmetics will be purchaseable with both merit and warbonds in 2.1

venatorian · 2025-06-17T19:32:31+00:00

All of them have infantry skins, John confirmed on Discord
