LSA allows single battles to be created with set points per BG.
|
Hmmn not sure if this is the same. In CC2 BTF we were able to buy individual units. It was sooo much fun. Trying to out think you opponent at the buy screen was one of the things that made CC2 the best of the series for most I knew. Can this be done with a mod? How extensive are the mod tools for the series by matrix? I am tempted to pick up another copy of CC2 at least for LAN play.

It is very close. The difference is you can only buy units; squads, vehicles, etc. that were part of the specific battle groups involved in the battle.
|
That may not be so bad. Really miss the freedom of buying anything it really made things so chess like having to think a head and try and figure what you opponent may by and try and do.
Do you know if the mod tools would support a mod that would emulate that for any of the games?
Thanks for the info!
Update: My son pointed out that LSA was the one I bought from Matrix. Unfortunately we found the buy in too limiting. There was always game balance when it was an open point buy if you knew what you were doing ;P If this can be modded or added to CC 3D that would be awesome. |

I started of Playing AOE until I found CC2. Went by KingMarcus to start with and then changed the name in the zone for CC2 a lot of folks still called me by King or Marcus that and SSPL. I played this game until the cd was nearly unusable ;P There was such a large community may have played you at some point and just not remembering. Only ones I remember were the ones I spoke to most often or battled for the top of the ladder ;P Hunter used to work for Costco if I remember right. Yobobo was in Canada. For the life of me I can't remember all the names of the ppl I talked to most. There were some really great people playing that game. Miss the zone tremendously nothing has ever compared for me.

WoW you really new these guys well, I was too busy getting a Mud hole stomped in me by these guys to find out what their occupations were. LOL. I discovered CC2 before I had a chance to try AOE,the rest was history. It was a serious addiction, I was never home sick from work so much in my life. Do you remember the personalized rooms you could label, then wait for someone to come in them from out of the forum area on the lower part of screen?Cant remember if that was more towards CC3 time or before.Yep Very cool times. The super sniper on CC2 was some of the funniest shit I ever saw! Guy was loaded up on PCP I swear, he would take out alot of people, hand to hand as well if I remember correctly.
|
Yeah the zone was set up great. You could sit in the lobby and see who was hanging out waiting for games. We would be shooting the shit between them. Several of the guys I talked to extensively. Yobobo and I talked via phone sometimes he was a cool dude as most of the CC2 players were. I was really addicted it was rough as I was a single parent and going to school  |

Small_Elm was another guy I remember, Was a guy named Mouse something I believe. He was another breaker of close combat hearts as well.

For some reason I am thinking Mouse was spelled Maus but I am be confusing him with the tank. There was definitly a Mouse/Maus tho I remember playing him alot.
Were you there in CC2 as well? If so what name were you playing under? All these guys were there for CC2 that you have named so far. They were as die hard as I was. There was another guy that was pretty good too he took the name from the ASL game LT something but for the life of me can't remember it at the moment. There were a lot of good players vying for the top. Unfortunately real life got in the way and I lost contact with a lot of really great people. Yobobo showed up a bit later when I was playing Combat Mission but then RL got in the way again and I lost contact again. I have a screenshot i printed a hardcopy of somewhere showing my on Cases - was proud of that moment it was very hard work for a game Wish I had the file still its probably buried on a hard drive in a parts box somewhere. |

Cases Ladder for CC3

I didn't stick around long for very long with CC3 I was a CC2 fanatic and didn't care for what they did when the went to 3. I was constantly battling on Cases for CC2 though. |

Hi Guys!
Thought I would chime in here. I had done a search to see what the new CC was looking like and I saw this forum and a mention of the zone. I used to play on there extensively under this name. Not sure if there are any from that time period but it was a blast. Was playing CC2 at the time and heavy on cases ladder. Knew Hunter and Yobobo as well as SS_Sturm SS_Collins. and many others.
Anyhow was wondering if you can play CC like you used to on any of the new series by matrix? On a Bridge Too Far we used to be able to buy our own units right before game and was not required to create a specific scenario. Is this still possible?
thanks
SSPL |
