Close Combat Series -> The Mess

#1: Any news on CC6? Author: poli, Location: The Netherlands

I read the thread in CSo, but find thier forum a tad "overwelming" in a messy kind of way. I was wondering if any of the CCS Commanders could give us laymen the lowdown on projected CC6.

From what I read... Sounds like Simteks proposal is at Destineer for approval. Once they get approval they will go ahead, but as of yesterday from Beeblebrox's post "nothing is carved in stone" says theres nothing official to go ahead with. Heres what I think is going to happen if they get approval... They will base CC6 off one of the current games, probably some newer version of CCM. New features will be added, which they havent totally decided on. I highly doubt CC6 will be constructed from the ground up as an entirely new game.

Beeblebrox also posted another thread called CC: The Dark Side about things in the current versions that could be made better. I smell patch! Probably for the original series 1 thru 5. Probably not 1, infact probably only 2 or 3 of them.

Anyways, thats all my opinion based on what I read. Hopefully they get approval!

thanks for the update Mooxe! I had hoped for a new 'ground-up" version of CC, but, well, here hoping..

I want wheather effects!!! imagine a Bar squad sneaking by some tanks in heavy rain at a flat run.

Hmmm, that's a tasty thought - a CC5 patch that has CCM4 components.

Only time will tell what they come up with.

We are crossing our fingers...

As Mooxe carefully (and quite rightly) qualifies the prospect for CC6 as being 'not carved in stone', never-the-less I do believe that the prospects are very good to get started in the near future.

Of course you are all very welcome at the CSO Forums despite it being 'a tad "overwelming" in a messy kind of way' Wink

- don't panic! No offense taken Smile

) to make your contributions to the Threads on this Subject. There is a Set in the General Forum (Poll, Dark Side, Ideas), and a Free Poll on the Main Site.

However, if you wanted to gather together here and do the same sort of thing, I for one would be very encouraged. I would certainly collate all feedback and statistics from you with our own to make a more comprehensive analysis. The only objective is to encourage a better prospect for CC6.

If we are fortunate enough to go ahead with CC6, I would like to see it have very strong Community involvement, and you are a strong part of the Community.

Anyways, well done all. Keep up the good work! I can't drop in here very consistently I am sorry to say (just too busy), but I will try and poke my nose in more often if I can Wink

. Let me know if you think there is anything I can help with.

I don't think there will be a patch for past games. I think they will spend some time test for the bugs people post to see if they are still in the CCM code and then work to add a new strat level and theater for the campaign/operation. So if you want to have some say in how things might be following these links;

Poll: Close Combat 6 should be set in which Theatre/Campaign?

Good if simteks want try sell us a CC decaffeinated or one CCM with hormones, I think that Destineer better should tell them "No".

I waited a Close Combat Red Phoenix and not one CCM with a new image and if Destineer tells simtek "No", it will be probably because they go to release the Red Phoenix.

Give me a break.. the game companies are the ones that sold out the 'Clsoe Cpmbat' name to First to fight. You really think the Simtek team, amungst the longest active serving CC modders & mappers woudl sell the game out?? Come on!!

I am no longer with Simtek guys, theres nothign to gain for me with CC6 except the fun of palying it... CCM & CCRAF were made for the military. The military didnt care for alot of the things we loved with CC1-5 that were out of CCM & RAF. Granted there were some good things to come out of CCM & CCRAF, now the team at Simtek is the ONLY team that know the inner workings of both CC1-5 & CCM & RAF. They also know what the CC community wants since they are a part of it. The code has been looked at & its no secret that in making CCM & RAF the code was added to & could be scrutinized & sorted.

Add 2 + 2 togehter guys. Did SImtek make first to Fight? No... not part of that dissapointment. Do you trust how Destineer would make the path for the future of CC on thier choice to make First to Fight a Close Combat named game? (Its a great game.. but NOT Close Combat Series game) Or do you trust Simtek seemingly proposing how the next CC should be???Hmm... lets see.. the guys who mde a CC game that is NOTHING like CC, or have them led the next time out by hardcore modders &mappers fo the game we love?? COME ON!!! Those at Simtek wouldnt risk thier reputation to the community by selling the game out. Had I chosen to stay in Simtek I know I wouldnt have & know the guys still thier certainly wouldnt either. If Simtek is invovled with CC6 it will kick ass, not suck it...

Guys.. its hard to listen to the doom & gloom of some of you saying "The drought isnt over." Meinwhiile many of us are kicking back swimming in the water thats up to our necks.... Neagative talk from those who are pretty far on the outside.

Dotn worry Firefox.. I think there WILL BE more versions of CC to come you can make your special mods for.... Wink

Good my mind was thinking Rolling Eyes

that I have read and read many things from a CC6 but I think that nobody have something done because we have not seen one screenshot on years and it is very strange on a new game.

Dont confuse Red Phoenix & CC6. Both VASTLY different things.

So understanding that, there is no CC6 scrrens because its a new project.

I second that Firefox. It may be that the dev team is part of the CC community -but I (as just a plain old user/consumer) have heard, seen or played NOTHING regarding a new CC for - umm- forever?

A little bit of a note by Keith Z on the First to fight site about red-phoenix and a thread on CSO and thats it.

no screenies, no "testers wanted" etc..so that does make this community member feel doom and gloom..

Need a PR department?? Wink

I go to cry Laughing

and RP what is it? a old proyect without screens, info or something new?

no screens = no game

no new info on other sites as magazines = no proyect

i would like it to be like an italy,sicily,early WW2,North Africa type game. they need to touch on an orignal idea of WW2. something new and that has more of a challege from the germans. and a better AI engine.
