I just have to give an applause to the devs and what they have done with off maps.

First off, you very rarely see any kind of spam of off maps, unless you have 2-3 players all with off maps, then technically it's not spam (unless they built their companies together in this way.)

Second and my most favorite thing, there really aren't any mirrored off maps, I feel that they are all pretty unique in their own regards. This I feel was quite a huge accomplishment because they could of been incredibly lazy with it.

FOO and Mortar barrage from defensive officer, both quite different. SE we have some incendiary versions of normal off maps which keeps things interesting (from what I believe less damage on impact, but has burn damage).

Are there any off maps that ARE mirrored versions of other off maps? If so which are they? It would be cool to bring up discussions on how to change them.

Although I would love to see the old terror officer firecracker barrage brought back!!

I say get rid of offmaps

[NightRain]

sometimes FOO is just undodgeable. The first round that blows up suppresses or pins inf and the scatter kills them. More or less undodgeable with a pak40. If you dodge it your crew is either down to 2 men or the 1 man.

off maps should go, all factions should get some kind of officer that can call in a artillery barage..

maybe have some officers have 2 or 3 diff barages they can call

my point in this is, if you see a officer, you can be like rutro, he may call in a off map..

no more poping up MI, seeing something and using a offmap to kill it when your not even close to it..

just my op.

The offmaps are fine as they are.

yea all offmaps should go, especially since the allies are SUPER heavy on them and the new theme lately is brit stacks out the ass and those usually have hordes of offmaps ontop of foo and various other things, it really ruins the fun when EVERYTHING you try to do gets offmapped instantly

Nomatter how hard it is to say this but 8thrifle is right.
srsly there are offmaps everywhere and it gets worse that most of them have so much spread that you dont even have to be blobbing to lose most of your units just to a single offmap becouse of the spread.

[nugnugx]

Offmaps are okay, they provide a change in gameplay place,  those damn support campers have to move or die.

If there were no offmaps we would see 90% of axis with paks + hmg + mortars sitting on whole map line ( not that it does not happen now,  but offmaps fix that )

and Icelandic your bieber duo does only that soooooooooooo  

[TheIcelandicManiac]

The problome is that 1 offmapbarrage dose not only break the line but oblitirates the enemy so you can just push up and destroy all of you shit giving you the win, sure it is fine when controlled but FFS its so fucking spammed that it has gone to far that people just spam it to death so you cant push up or do an basic attack due to you just get owned by a single offmap oblitirating you whole army.

[nugnugx]

nah that was before,   offmap pricing have been nerfed much now and usualy one player has 2 max offmaps per game, onmap arrival timings have been nerfed also so it's pretty easy to dodge an offmap  i'd say 65% chance.

[panzerman]

earthsaker is rather large, pinns ur units and will do fair amount of damage, the thing is hectic 2 i liked the old one when it came down slowly shit still got messed up but at least u could try and get out of the area with a little more chance.

[TheIcelandicManiac]

That is bullshit and you off all people should know it, Sure the time till it landed was nerfed but the spread (area of effect) is so large that any support weapon,wolk squad, tank or anything like that gets oblitirated to oblivion and that is just so fucking unfair that when people like me that dont camp or place down basic defences get owned by an offmap it is just bullshit.

srsly if an earthshaker lands ontop of my grensquad and i use sprint to get them out of there they still get owned by the offmap due to 1 burst on the edge of the AOE So yea.

[nugnugx]

Axis also got offmaps so idk what's the problem here.  V1 can do much more than an earthshaker and you don't know where it will land so you can walk on it.

[panzerman]

v1 is lols the scatter is so big...but yeah i would trade my v1 on my terror for earthshaker anyday.

[Malgoroth]

Off-maps are gay but it's only certain ones that cross the line from "god dammit" to "fuck that was bullshit".

Earth shaker = bullshit
Rocket arty = bullshit
creeping barrage = semi bullshit

The larger the spread/AOE - the more lame and unfun it is.

Offmaps with a smaller AOE and more specialized purpose however are not so much bullshit.

SE fire plane whatever = fine. Smaller AOE, burns slow/low-ish dps, doesn't do shit to tanks.
Precision strike = fine. Small AOE one unit fucker. ONE unit. Not a blob. ONE unit can get fucked. L2 look at mini map and expect it.
V1/Lancaster = fine. You hear it coming like 10 seconds in advance. Fucking move.
Bombing run = fine. Super damage in a relatively thin line.

[PonySlaystation]

Rocket arty = bullshit

No, try less blobbing, I have seen you play LOL

[nugnugx]

Offmaps were always a part of eir and coh ,  deleting offmaps would be like deleting part of the game, we don't need this ,offmaps are fun  and whiners that got killed by it just need to suck it up.
I also get killed by them , but i don't rush to make a thread because my support camp or blob got pwned.

Artillery is a part of war. Things dying is a part of war. Make like WW1 stfu and get in a trench
