I'm looking at the link now, and I noticed that one of the pics (from the remake) is from a user made mod...Gold Juno sword...is that right?

Or is this map from an earlier official matrix CC game?

Personally, I'd prefer CCMT II. I kinda liked butchering civilians in CCMAT.

Day/Night thing and other enhancements sound nice. Too bad it won't work on my comp. Also, triggers would be very nice for SP gameplay - I don't see them in the features list - so, they won't be there?

Is it still max 15 units to deploy? Even on 4800x4800px maps?
Has multicore support for high resolutions been fixed?

I'm kind of underwhelmed by the announcement. But I'll wait and see the verdict after it's been released.

I wonder if this means that S3T/Matrix are providing new tools for modding CCTLD (like most modern games with built-in editors)...or if it actually means: you can use notepad and a spreadsheet (which are technically second party tools also).

Nice! New CCMT style unit/team graphics!
I was surprised that this style wasn't implemented in CCWAR (instead we got CC5 Normandy graphics - some with Normandy era uniforms).

You'd have copyright issues with those for commercial releases.
Well done unit graphics look cool...but those artwork (army-men/toy soldier look) from CC4-CC5 just look dated.
WW2 era pictures may look good on the BG screens...but lack clarity and are confusing to look at on the Tactical Map/Battle screens too.

Squadleader is right, using WW2 pictures would cost too much money or be a copyright problem waiting to happen for a commercial release.

Along with the new icons on that screen shot there sure are a lot of rows for squad names.

Which is a great improvement. 25 slots will get you closer to creating complete TO&E, or allows you to play with experience/morale mixing of the same unit.

I think that is a left over from COI that was wrongly on the WAR Matrix web page and now has been wrongly left on the The Longest Day Matrix web page....

Hard disk space: 2.0 Gb + Screenshot of Gold Beach from GJS. So are we getting GJS already converted? It does have mixed graphics in the screenshot though, showing an American flag. I think theres some Bloody Omaha maps also. They could of just used them for the new strat map though.

I think the military symbols are bland, very few will ever learn what they mean or care. It was probably just more convienent to have them since they are easier to come by than creating the icons from scratch.

Game can now be played in windowed mode is great. Can you pause the game without your opponent unpausing it now?

Around the center and bottom there are some wierd connections. Some of the connections seem to bypass maps. The center is also split, the only way to cross to the South, or North is to go through the beach map, or farthest West map. Maybe theres a natural obstacle...

I like the gamey unit icons,the new ones look bland.
As far as using actual WW2 images that can easily be modded.
Is that really what the strat map is going to look like?That looks very wierd to me,is that a compass showing due North?
Schrecken said the same thing about the 24/7 campaigns.Thats a real bummer I was hoping for something like MMCCIII but I wanted that for WAR too.
And once again I see no 2 on 2 H2H listed,why cant we get that for the re-releases?

The new unit icons look better than the old CC4-CC5 versions, IMHO.
A bit bland but more modern looking...and more Wargamey Wink
Besides military symbols...you can still small silhouettes of soldiers, AFVs and support weapons.
Mooxe is right...maybe it's too much work to rework those CC4-CC5 style icons or upgrade them with something better...and since S3T already had design ideas from CCMT...

The stratmap in the screenshot looks like early version to me...it looks ugly too Very Happy
64 maps covering Utah, Omaha and GJS equals a lot of map omissions and compression right?
