Just a note to all you map makers!

Just a little rage for ya! But Seriously whats with all the hills??? ? have some of you people even been to Europe?

Its a serious question! Cause where in the hell are all these bloody hills coming from! I can't believe some of the maps that are made with HUGE Hills and mountains. I live Wellington we have mountains and hills ALL over the show... Yet the maps in CoH are ridicules. Just silly even with how many and frequent people will want to put hills into this game.

What makes it worse is CoH has a radius view in it. So if the drop off hits the half way down the hill you wont be able to see the bottom of it(the hill i mean). I played one of your maps lastnight and was frustrated when the American mg could shoot through the earth and my mg42 couldn't hit him at all on the 6v6 withe tunnel on the right (southern flank) of the map(the name eludes me at the moment)

Thanks, that's really helpful.

@nbeerbower ok then i'll come back with the comprehensive list. But when you add elevation into a map (oh i mean extreme elevation. you really dont need cliffs in CoH it just doesnt work). It is ruined. The fact that CoH units cannot shoot at/hit an enemy down a hill (that in reality it should win) doesnt add anything to the mod or the map!

is that more helpful?

Hills help give tactical did/advantages to give a new layer of combat. If all maps were flat, imagine the boredom.

Halbe can you fix it...

Oh and i get that hills are great... But mate seriously... it ruined a game cause friend couldnt hit my at gun and my mg couldnt hit ANY inf. The inf could shoot back but i couldnt hit them. Oh and i forgot to mention that I could not see his inf below on the screen. i could see them on the tactical map but not infront of my inf on my screen (cliffs = bad!) and my two mg units (one inside a building the other pointing straight at the units) were killed but his untouched (cause he found a sweet spot that couldnt be hit by any incoming fire).
@WartyX Hills are fine your right... But have you been to europe? its kinda flat! True story! the smallest hills here where i live are mountains in europe. and if your gonna do cliffs dig them into the terrain not huge things that pointing into the camera so it forces perspective. JEEEZ !

Most of the Devs are European, we know what Europe is like, we see it on a daily basis. We see nothing wrong with these maps... just because New Zealand has a lot of hills doesn't means there's some massive Hill shortage and Europe can't have any.

Lol'd, so you have been to every little place in Europe? I live in the Netherlands, its pretty flat here, But some little hills can be found here and there. Besides hills are awesome when u use them in your advantage.

Last time I checked, the Netherlands wasn't on the Eastern Front.

Try rotating your camera (alt)
Try remembering those 'sweet spots' and better prepare to defend against them.
Try not to lose a game and rage post blaming the map. In Russia, map blame YOU.
