This site Sucks.

It was created for those who didn't want to Bow Down to the then Sulla ran CSO and was widely regarded as being a place for those who Hated CC.

It then grew into THE place to be for CC


Now it just Sucks.


CSO nor Matrix is the place you want to hang your hat
The Posts there are Worse than whats here.


Mooxe Please.....just close the Fucking thing.

The Modders are gone,
Those who do Mod work for Matrix. AKA Re-releases.


Nobody is here to create new tools for the $40-$50 re-releases.


What a F-n Joke CC has become

Off hand, I can think of yourself, Dima, Drizzt, Firefox, Bel, Tejsd, Manoi, Pete, Buck from CCS and Cathartes from Matrix who post here as Modders. Maybe it's the amount of traffic that is distressing? There would agree, or lack of new mods. Am learning as time goes by, but it is slow going and want to add something back eventually.

I understand some of the frustration as there a few people posting that highjack threads and bury/hide the original content/discussion but I do not wish to see CCS shutdown.

Matrix has made CC a little easier to mod to support mod makers but will NOT host mods for download. If nothing else CCS makes it easier for CC mod makers by giving them a place to upload mods and easier for CC players to find mods....

Sorry I wont participate in this survey as I think the survey sucks by not providing the option of disagreeing that this site sucks. I think this site is the best CC site out there and kudos to Mooxe for setting it up and running it.

Nonsense pool. Excellent site. To ask to close it's really offensive, it's like to ask to close a library for the fact that you don't like some of the books (the posts at free disposal).

Hey Michael, I can understand your anger towards trolling behaviour of some CCS people, since I also expressed a similar concern of mine on another thread. However CCS here is the final frontier, the best CC community around so far and definitely the last place to blame.

If you would say "I am tired of some members' unconstructive approach and outright trolling behavior at times", I would agree with you. But you cannot blame CCS. It is still the best place for CC related stuff, and has always been the best place (imo) all these years.

I think you are reacting somewhat overemotional. We should all be thanking mooxe for still keeping this place alive!

Exactly, And these people are quick to supply the definition of a troll, or an "un-constructive approach" too. They make these categories in their own convenience. To suit their own arguments, or to lobby the authorities.

This site is no different than many others where this medium of communication has been established. At this site, the moderators permit a significant amount of expression, which DOES set it apart from most sites of this nature, in a most positive way.

Human beings stand apart from other carbon based life forms on this planet in that they can counter or supply deceit with additional deceit, and unfortunately many web sites become microcosms of this behavior.

This is one of my most visited sites... I also like its retro style from the beginning of 2000s. There are still mods coming out and this place is here to host and mooxe is doing a great job...

You were famous hardcore troll back in the day at the CSO. I remember Sulla always mentioning the Brake.

Yessss.. It was a shame Shaun couldn't pull back up my original handle there. I too remember a few from before my long hiatus from CC and got brought back up to what missed out in between. Also one of the very few ever banned from CSO was the infamous Brake. I never had any issues here at all with him and always enjoyed (still do) conversations with him in fact, a fellow swabbie who played CC3 against several times back in the day as a member of clan KG.

An awful lot of the "old timers" from KG were in semi retirement by.. Say 2001-2002 as far as CC goes. Seems like SSpoom, Swampfox, Cloghaun, Soldier were it. AGcent was around on TeamSpeak, but he was rarely playing. Newer members joined around 99-200 being me and Scout. Rest would stop by, some would chat.. Panther, Cooper.. Many of us rolled over to Combat Mission for awhile also and played ladders.

Guess KG just disappeared like most of the clans did from CC.. The times were great while it lasted tho. Even some of the stupid/crazy crap Traut pulled on his pet maps, though it was against KG rules and got him into clan trouble more than once.

Oh ya, I forgot that CB_Trout joined KG. I played him all the time.

That's just too much Brake.. All these screens of the old MSN room...

Starfury used to hang out on Teamspeak with KG all the time also, forgot his "real" 1st name after all these years, but got to know him fairly well back then and he's a really cool dude. Was into modeling (toy, not that kind...) and was the last member of GDS he claimed..

I saw an ANZAC clan on that screen.. Was it ANZAC_TAC who was leader of that group? Can't recall for sure. The guy was really tough.

What ever happened to playing through MSN Instant Messenger?

Hey Michael,

I don't remember ever playing CC through any messenger. *did* play and send quickie PG2 turns through it at one time. Could that possibly be what you are remembering?

I used MSN Messenger to play. It was great to chat to people and then when ready click a button to offer who you were chatting with to play. If accepted the game auto started on both computers with the players connected....

Correct
When did that get dropped?

I think the sites great. I hope it never closes down.
Matrix site is not a Close Combat site.
Steam is evil.
CCS meets its purpose nicely.

We are still getting mods done. One was just completed for CC5 invasion Normandy. I don't know why you want the site to be gone?

You can say that again.  It's a utter mess.  And it's thanks to all those who got hold of the code and ruined good parts of CC and utterly failed to improve on the game.

Wow, that screenshot of the Zone is crazy.  What is really funny is that the Zone (from the NINETIES) is a better matchmaking tool than what came with any of the post-CC5 releases.

The MSN Zone worked great for us in the 90's. Our 56K connection was the problem then. MSN would have been better advised to keep those rooms open all these years.

We are fortunate to have Gameranger provide support for the Classic CC titles now.

Very well said.  In my opinion the game has become WORSE from the original series.  No disrespect to those whom worked on the re-releases.  The graphics have improved, yes.  But it is frustrating how they took such a great game and muddled it up.

As far as CCS, nothing wrong with the website at all.  Except for the trolls.  That is one thing you can't escape from on the internet no matter what the site is.

But down through the years with Atomic, or Matrix, they tried many approaches, and most of them fell flat.

Most people like RTS games to be an arcade game. And CC games tried that (CC5), but CC combat is just too slow, so you are mainly left with a complicated software program to display the order of battle. But that, coupled with the campaign game kept some players very interested.
