What do you guys think about AI?
I've found the vehicle path finding to be as bad as ever (told a half track to move straight down a dirt road 60m, came back later to find it lost in the woods further away from its goal than when it started). Enemy battle AI still lacks aggression, not making hard pushes even with clear advantage of men/tanks.

Yeah, vehicle pathing is still poor and the AI is pretty crappy, but c'est la CC. Maps look great and 20 minute timer settings are a much appreciated addition.
Well at least this time the devs went with the correct historical uniforms for the US AB.
To be more accurate...all it needs is a small mod so that the 504th PIR/82nd AB can wear M42 jumpsuits...nitpicky nitpicky
But you're right, Sapa...the American M43 uniforms (on the tiny soldiers) needs a bit of retouching...those look like the greens from stock CC5.
German uniforms look great to me...CMIIW.
Very nice work, Dev Team! Let's start porting mods! (after enjoying stock CCLSA of course!)

Stupid me needs to ask a question: If I download the game from Matrix G, can I burn the game onto a disc so that I won't loose the game (in case of PC crasch and efter that 2 year period of backup download) ?

Stupied question2: So there is no problem in putting the files down on a Cd and install to another PC if needed?
No need to do any strange stuff or cracks?

No question is stupid...
There is no problem writing the file(s) to any other medium large enough. How could you do a System Backup otherwise?
If you read the license, then I am sure it says something along the lines of you can use it on one PC. There is nothing that I know of that physically prevents you from installing it on as many PC's as you want. So I guess the really really really 'PC' approach is to delete it from one PC before you install it on another. Would I bother? No, but then neither would I copy and distribute it, free or otherwise. It is for my own use, and if I want to install it on 4 of my own PC's, then I will do so. It may not be 'technically' correct, but if they want to take issue with that, I'm up for it.
So, no crack, hacks, strange, or other tiresome things to do. Burn the download to a DVD. Install it on your PC. Any of your PC's.
If LSA is different to any of the others, I'd be surprised (I haven't tried LSA yet...).
Yeah, vehicle pathing is still poor and the AI is pretty crappy, but c'est la CC. Maps look great
I thought CC2 would have the best chance for AI performance with the strongest in the series. Are the maps the same scale or are they big like CC5 style?
Final verdict on Mac release... no plans to port to Mac OS ?

Besides CDs or DVDs, put it on a flash drive or external HD. If you don't have a a DVD drive you can compress the exe using an archiving program like IZArc www.izarc.org then split the zip file into two parts in order to fit it on a two CD-Rs.

There's plenty of screenshots over at Matrix Games.
Maybe some specific requests of what you wanted to see in the game...maybe I can post screenies of those.
