when is it possible to choose the campaign you want to play on?!?!
i play the game since it got released and i knew nothing else than that until that idiotic update ruined it!!!
sorry if i am harsh but am kinda right as i saw many people stop the game due to it just like myself since i love to play on 2 campaigns only which is now 3 and these are
D-Day
battle for Berlin
battle of the Bulge
but yeah no it ain’t changing while many people who left just like some friends of mine are waiting for this to return back to the game!!
so again, Gaijin show us all that you listen to your community and fix this issue to as we all know that a huge bunch of players left the game due to this big mistake and the game is also kinda no fun anymore as well as some people are getting irritated by this to what i know and heard from others…!!
It would be nice if we knew before hand which map you were going to be playing on so you could tailor your squads for that. As it is, I basically just try and make universal squads since I am not sure what or who (as an ally) I will be fighting.
Basically now days, I just tailor my squads to meet my daily objectives, so if 35 kills with a bolt action rifle is one of my objectives, then I have at least one sniper squad. However, since a lot of maps for me are not fun for snipers, I usually jut click to get a different objective.
Yeah, at minimum preferred campaigns but ideally one you select.
I’d rather play against some AI commanders on the campaign I want instead of all players on the campaign I don’t want.
Made an early pacific US line up and guess what, first 2 matches where in Normandy and then in Tunisia. Very buzz kill if you play a game for a realistic setting and you use USMC M1903’s on D-Day and just can’t get into a Pacific match… Give up… Go to my top tier US line up with mostly ETO stuff and end up in the Pacific…
Atm you can control the maps you get based on nation and BR of your weapons/vehicles…
Perhaps given how much the bloody cosmetics cost this could be a silent filter as well, that based on how you dress your soldier may limit you to some of the maps, but I’m not sure how feasible this is…
There are certainly enough uniform choices to limit your troops to fight only on those maps that match your uniform.
I think they should do a rotation campaign
2 different main campaign maps changed every week
For example
Germany and the Soviet Union this week are Moscow (Level 5) and Stalin (Level 3)
Change to Stalin (level 5) and Berlin (level 3) next week
That’s better than 70% of 100 games being played on maps I hate.
At least I know which tier map to play this week
I would love to see the ability to just use the map selector from custom games in the matchmaker. Make all maps available everywhere and make it so you can restrict as much or as little as you want…but the more restrictive you make it the longer you might just have to wait.
Either that or allow premium accounts to start map from custom but have an option to allow matchmaking to join. That way if you have premium you could just start the map you want and let matchmaking fill it for you. ( This would also make it so customs could work for events if no mods and have historical teams (historical being things like us vs us on Tunisia)
As for when who knows. All I know is about a quarter/ up to half of the player base left the day the merge update came out. The ones that left were replaced with new players.
1 Berlin map I hate with the train station and bridge close to the opera house ( I can never spell the name lol) Stalingrad tractor factory, and steel mill for the Americans/Germans. If I can get rid of those three maps I’d be much happier.
I’ve tried all campaigns before, and the one I most disliked was Normandy and Berlin.
I always loved Moscow and Stalingrad, since release. The atmosphere and the grim setting is just perfect and suits me. But now, I’m forced to play all the campaigns I hated, along with their garbage maps. Such as Normandy’s Steel Mill and Berlin’s Lehter Banhoff.
I now have the habit of deserting matches by quitting the game and rejoining until I get a good map or campaign.
Yes you had to re-grind everything in each campaign, but that’s because each was treated independently which is where the OP is effectively going with this. The root issue was the 6 queues which split the small player base, which is why they decided to go down the WT model and just trainsmash everything together.
Fundamentally, what the OP want’s can only be implemented with filters in terms of queuing ppl up for different maps. At this stage there is no mechanism for this as BR is only determined by weapons and vehicles, and only nationalities limit the extent of the campaign range, which for the Germans and US factions opens up a wide spread in particular.
Which is why I suggested that potenitally uniforms can be tidied up and used as a “relative” map filter, that would give you back some semblance of a campaign based game.
I’m not sure what the impact on the MM would be, in one sense it might be longer as the MM waits for enough players to get on a given map, but equally it could be quite dynamic and see where the greatest map preference lies and cue those maps more frequently ?
. I so miss Tunisia
