HOWT maps in Campaign

Its easy enough to mix theatres during campaign.
It requires one main campaign map, so either the one from RO2 or RS as they are all we have, but the individual maps that are within that big map can be mixed up with stuff from RO2, RS and HOWT.

I experimented with mixing theatres when Campaign mode was first released but people lost their shit over it so I stopped.

So what are people's thoughts now about mixing campaign up a little?

For lack of a global type campaign map, we are stuck with the RO2 and RS versions for now, but can people overlook this and play mixed maps within a campaign?

Thoughts encouraged?

This sounds fine with me. By having some of the RSRO maps I think it might stop the new HOTW maps from being overplayed too much and people losing interest too fast. I might be wrong but it's just a thought.

Sounds like fun. Keeps it interesting. As Taktix mentioned, it will stop the HOTW maps being overplayed too much.

maybe wait till they balance them a bit more. HOTW is currently broken as all get out and favours the axis a TON.

HOTW is a far cry from what you would call broken, there are a few minor issues but otherwise it's just players adjusting.
Maybe a little bit of teamstacking too Tongue

The only issues I've found have been the recoil on the stg 44, it feels much easier to control on full auto than the mkb,
but that could just be me. The kick on the g43 does seem a little off too, but I think that's more due to the animations.
The HOTW team have done an impressive job.

Would definitely like to see a war on all fronts campaign, the RO campaign map would probably be the better one to use.

It's to early to make the call that it favours axis, new maps will always favour the defenders since defenders win by default. It's on the attackers to figure out the best way to break through the lines and then actually co-ordinate an attack and since the Germans are pretty much always defending it's only logical that they will win more often.

its not tactics i mean its legit unbalanced like really badly. the STG44 and G43s are more common then the kar98k! i have been killed 2 times by a kar98k in my 6 hours of HOTW games if that doesnt say something i dont know what will. The germans are now almost like the allies are in rising storm, they have better weapons mostly semi autos and fully auto and the allies dont have special faction abilities to counter this unlike the japanese (banzai trip grenades)

I think once they nerf the Germans and give the allies the semi automatic M1C or M1D garand sniper things will be a lot better

0-6 STGs , similar amount of G43s and generally around 15-17 kar98s on a team.
