As a two time poster (woot), a lecher of material and mods from not only this site but CSO and a player who has played AI for most of my time, I'd say the AI is just easy, not just on a skill level. Its a painless system. I can quit and play whenever I want. There is no commitment. The only rules are mine and I can do what ever I want.
I have gotten tired of playing the AI, I've played CC2 & CC5 online, I even have a TH account with like 5 games played in the last 5 years. But I've always gone back to AI, Why? Because I'm a casual player. I only play a couple of times a week and it takes me months to finish a campaign. I've done three days of SOC and I started it in Feb. I'd assume that the 95% of people your quoting are causals. Players with no commitment who play on a part time basis.
Hamachi is a good tool to bring in those players but its always full and it took me an hour or two searching threads to find the game room and password. (Is it: Close Combat 5; cc5 ???) If its not then I don't know it. Gamespy is alright but that change of firewall can turn a lot of players off. It did for me, because I don't know a thing about computers. If there was a mod which enabled game play through the actual game (similar to most modern games) instead of a third party like gamespy or Hamachi then that might increase the number of H2H players. Only a suggestion though.
I chose a newbie because of my own lack of talent. Well then I'll change my request for a newbie player for a moderately above average player. Playing a better player would be a good learning experience, however if the player was too good, I would just be hammered with little hope.
Hey, I’m looking for a newbie h2h opponent for any operation/campaign for cc5 and its available mods. East Coast of Australia would be good considering the time zones. I tend to be a bit of a causal player, a couple of times a week. I’ve been playing cc for a while but I've spent most of my time playing single player which is alright. Looking to enter the multiplier side a bit more, I've played a bit of cc2 on TH.
I’ve been in game spy a couple of times but never see any one else or very little activity in there.
Either whim me back or rakeman911 [at] yahoo [dot] com
