Nonetheless to come back is a brand new 3v3 map, Italian marketing campaign map enhancements and digital camera zoom distance modifications. The long run marketing campaign map enhancements are particularly fascinating to me, as whereas I’m extraordinarily keen on CoH3, the dearth of dynamism on the marketing campaign map is a severe problem, as I famous in my Firm of Heroes 3 overview.
