icee93 Posted February 23, 2000 Share Posted February 23, 2000 My bet is that CC V will more likely be released before CM!!! Therefore I'll probably buy CC V, any wargame is better than none! Getting very bored of playing the demo of CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost like CC1 and CC2 were totally different games rather than part of a series. I have the entire series and it is fun especially against a human opponent. But the AI, in 3 and 4 really takes away from the game. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hundminen Posted February 23, 2000 Share Posted February 23, 2000 howardb: Yes, I am the same Hundminen who spent many a late night (early morning?) at CC2 on the Zone 2 years ago, and I too recognize many names from this board. In fact, there are a few guys still playing CC2 on the Zone, who were there back then. It is a little quiet there - usually only 30 to 35 guys most nights. Sure would be nice if a few old timers would get back there, at least until CM is released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted February 23, 2000 Share Posted February 23, 2000 The smallness and the flatness of the CC maps is damn claustrophobic (I didn't spell it right - I know! ) I like the freedom of 3d - always a 3d man, always will be I have cc3 - I played one game yesterday - dang so easy. I played the CC4 demo - puke, that game gives me headaches, the look just gives me headaches and eye-aches as well I actually have more fun playing my paper minatures style wargames(ie I draw all the map features squad leader style onto paper, and draw all the soldiers and tanks on the paper, rub them out, move, draw them in again!) than in CC series ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

Durruti Posted February 23, 2000 Share Posted February 23, 2000 Hmmm, the CC series is RTS? I'd prefer to call it CTT ('continuous time tactical'). As for CC4, never mind the rocket SPWs how about the direct-fire, super accurate Sherman Calliopes? Or the tanks that can't cross bridges?? Combat Mission will be the greatest but its still a game where you have god like observation and control...and why not, I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraut Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 Just like with the two previous titles, atomic will take two steps foreward, and one huge step backward. They might improve the AI, but they'll surely put somthing into the game that will annoy the $hit out of people. Like infantry that die like flies ... hmmm, wait, that's already been a "feature" of the past two titles. Well, maybe they'll let you control a battleship ? Hey, think of how c00l that would be. D00dz, that would rox! ... lol MK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardb Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 They go for what the common public likes so expect those Napalm bombing Spitfires, Super Commando units called Cap'n America and maybe a Zeppeliner or three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penubly Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 Maybe if we just ignore them and don't waste time talking about them, they will go away. I doubt it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened to me last night yet again. I have a bazooka team hidden (ambushing) in a stone building. From 125m away, a panther spots them and wipes them out. Go figure.
