Bring back the campaigns

It’s probably because of the weekly denial threads we keep getting as there are still people who can’t accept we got marketing-baited.

Not to be rude but personally I don’t like to play in Tunisia when I’m actually down for a game in Moscow

And most of us dont want to constantly play Tunisia Allies because no on wants to play Tunisia Axis.

I agree, would love to see the old Theatres of War selection back - sometimes one really feels like fighting in a specific location and it is a bummer if you get put somewhere else all the time. That said, I doubt we will ever get it back the way it was.

If only the playerbase chose that instead of BR to begin with

They tested that once but the introduction was terrible and everyone hated it

Quite sure thats exactly why the campaigns didnt work.
Moscow, for obvious reasons soviet bot farm.
Berlin GE botfarm.

DF reaction to your request… :wink:

It sucks worse when you can’t choose your map, and then get punked into the same map playing the same game mode “three times in a row”. Nothing sucks Donkey balls more then to get stuck in a map “YOU HATE”, and then get kicked in the dick two more times having to endure it. That is when I start seriously considering desertion. :wink:

And I miss VCRs & 8-track tapes. Guess what? They ain’t coming back… But Elvis, he’s still alive. He’s definitely coming back! And when he does, he’ll be bringing the campaign system with him. Until then, we’ll just have to wait.

You can’t turn the minced meat back. Unlikely.

Unbalanced never exists, factions suffer or not are always based solely on player base preference.
Normandy, long ruled by the Germans, was reversed due to MG event para
Flamethrower paratroopers in the Battle of Tunisia had the same effect
All “unbalanced” are caused by “faction trend”. In fact, this situation has never stopped happening even now.

Most campaigns never had major shift beyond one.
Tunisia only had one major shift after one year where the Allies had twice as much players.
Stalingrad instantly switched to another Soviet botfarm when the devs nerfed the Mlkb, which happend so fast after the initial campaign launch, it is almost not worth to mention.
Moscow was balanced until they add the T-50, only got “fixed” when they added the Panzer IV F2 and the Mkb from the future, which happened I think also more than a year after they added the T-50, the T-34 and the PPSh.
Berlin was also Soviet botfarm until they started to add Tigers, which turned them into German botfarms afterwards.
Pacific was Axis botfarm for couple of days until people switched and stayed to Allies with no major shift.
Normandy was only one that faced actual major shifts all the time and funny enough it was the most populated campaign. It is also wrong that it was “Axis-dominated” for long time since it only started with the Panther, which I think didnt got add until half a year to one year after the OBT release.

Cleary no sign of imbalance as cause at all.
So so much for

and

Because people just had the preference not play against the PPSh with the 20rd Beretta or against the Panther with the M10 or against the Grant with a shitty-ass Semo that cant even kill infantry properly. But if you give one side balanced / counter gear or better/ superior gear, they suddenly either repopulate the UP faction or sweat in the new OP faction.
No imbalance at all. Just preference… praise the preferences.

Buying is not even the major part, the main problem is grinding the same equipment again and again.

I guess you like to use Stuart against Tiger 1, very enjoyable gameplay lol.

I guess you think I have some idea what you are rabbiting on about.

That’s the preference i say.
The added event stuff doesn’t even have to be truly meta, like flamethrower paratroopers, the player base just needs a gimmick to flock to a faction, and any equipment imbalance is immediately ignored.

So none of this is a big deal, “faction trend” will overcome everything.

As devs told before, we are working in some kind of preferred maps system for players с:

Didnt really see massive player shift towards GE, when they added that tiger H1.

Well, no.

Why do you think tiger H1 is a gimmick?
A worse BRIV tiger won’t appeal to anyone, especially BRIV match basically does not exist.
And Tiger H1 is a from normal update after the merge, with new items from other factions are added to the game.

Sebekel and I mentioned lot of examples of factional trend change. After the merge, event trends continued to appear. Do you really play the game or not?
