Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand details its 3.0 update

Co-op and a weather-driven battlefield

The most direct change to how Company of Heroes 3 can be played is the expansion of cooperative play to as many as three players. The 3.0 update also introduces a new Battleground in Dam Busters, where weather conditions affect both battlefield visibility and unit range.

The weather is described as game-changing rather than merely decorative because it changes two practical elements of combat: what players can see across the battlefield and the range at which their units operate. The supplied overview does not specify particular weather effects or individual unit changes.

Broader update content

Beyond co-op and the new Battleground, the update refreshes the presentation with new visuals, effects and audio improvements. It also expands the available combat content with additional enemy units, new abilities and passive technologies.

The update overview also lists gameplay fixes and balance updates, making the 3.0 release broader than a single multiplayer or map addition. The announcement describes these areas collectively but does not provide detailed examples of the fixes, balance adjustments, units, abilities or passive technologies.
