If it wasn't for Destineer and Simtek CC would be dead. |

Simtek is a small group but they are all we have as a CC community and they definitely will not grow if the only way people will support CC is by saying they will only download free patches for 10 + year old games.... |

2 - bring in money which increases the chance that we do get a new CC |

4 - improve the platform that the community mods run on
..... a - fixed bugs, commander importance, game volume control, etc. ..... b - modswap is better than the CC config managers ..... c - Matrix is converting the mods (10 so far for COI) |

split more with the re-releases but that already happened with CC2 to 5 |

The money these companies get may allow for CC6 and more to be done. |

Release a free patch to fix the bugs.
For money...re-release commercially CC5 with the patch...say market it as "Gold Edition" "Platinum Edition", or "Collectors Edition" etc. I'm sure a lot of old CC5 players will buy a well packaged rerelease (maybe add extra discs with maps, ops/GCs). For compatibility issues with new OS/Systems...just work on a good launcher program to deal with the problem. |

2) - Simtek says it couldnt implement the changes and keep it compatible. Squadleader's idea is good, but it wont happen. It will kill sales of the re-release if a free patch is available. 4) - A lot of people thought they were getting a completely new game. CC5 re-release should be called "Gold Edition" "Platinum Edition", or "Collectors Edition" etc. - Good Idea. |

What we need is CC compatibility with next generation operating systems. That's the biggest threat to the survivability of this game. I appreciate what Simteck is doing, though if we can't play CC on our new comps then there's really no point in re-releasing anything. |

I don't see where the new owner of the rights to CC has any obligation to give any of you something for free.
Would it have been nice to have had years ago? sure it would. Dividing the community? I don't know the answer to that, time will tell. But look at it this way your/our game is getting new life,how can you be disspleased with that? Oh thats right it costs money And if you Mooxe dont like my posts the bann me,it's your site Mooxe do what you like. But if I can post I will post what I wish to. |

Hia Guys,
Ok, the for and against on any re-release has been gone over ad-nauseum. Simple, vote with you wallet CC6 is happening and is already underway! This will be a bigger advance than seen in any previous version jump before. Much bigger than CC2 to 3 or 4 to 5. This is not only off the drawing board but underway. Not giving too much away, but it will have 5 seperate campaigns and a whole raft of new stuff. Work will also be starting on what will effectively be CC7. New engine, but CC to the core! On any testers etc, you all know who you are and NDA's are there for a reason guys! Tak and all of the testers do a very good job and I am bloody sure will have fun testing CC6. Oh, and I am NOT Spartacus Sulla or Ceaser were much better IMHO <G> Sulla |
