A number of people have asked why this change was implemented in the first place

I wasn't involved with the development of CoI apart from Mod Conversion, so I don't know about any design decisions... But I've been playing CC3 since 1999 as my favourite version of the Series and CoI is just better... I've had to adjust my gameplay a little and that mainly is to do with a more aggressive AI but basically it is the same.

Zero developement went into AI adjustments for CCMT .... it is a straight port of CCM and that is designed the way the Marines want it.

CCMT is a retail release of CCM because the "Fans" demanded it ... and we delivered.

Again, as with CoI I have had to adjust my game style slightly... but that mainly revolves around the new features.

1. Bigger Maps
2. Mounting vehicles.
3. Deadlier weaponry of the modern era
4. Multiple airstrikes and support missions
5. etc.

But still , basically, it is the same.

If the new version has all these new things, it will be fantastic, I can not wait more, I have been waiting some as this for years. Razz

I think that this game will be as a very good CC5 on the Ardennes. Of course, taking a a look on info, I´m thinking on a Ardennes mod on this new CC4. I have all the stuff ready for this. Wink

One question schrecken, have they added the more of 1vs1 on multiplayer? have it the mount on vehicle option?

Of course the changes that I have read here, they are fantastic.

And yes people wants a better IA, I do not play too vs IA but many people yes.

Very nice vehicle and plane graphics! Thumbs up to the artists!
A lot better than the original CC4 graphics...more in the vein of the awesome graphics in TT's VetBOB.

Really? You haven't played CC4 VeteranBoB 1.13? Strange...
VetBoB is to CC4 probably like RR to CC3.
You should definitely take a look...maybe a long look Smile

The new WAR vehicle graphics are on par with VetBoB...but IMO VetBoB's custom unit/team graphics and customized BG screen is still superior to WAR by far.
The only thing I don't really like about VetBoB is the lethal weapons to make the AI super tougher...making the single player game very-very tough...but somewhat unrealistic.

Here's the original CC4 tanks/vehicle graphics for comparison...plain generic looking paint jobs and toy-like models...but notice the animation effects for vehicle tilting (and bobbing when moving) according to terrain and elevation changes...these animation sequence are missing in mods (and looks like they're also missing in WAR...CMIIW) when tanks.azp graphics are rebuilt using modding tools.

And looking at the mini-map, it appears maps are much larger than original CCIV.

Lets hope there will be no more "Baugnez's 100 meters duels with 10 tanks" Smile

Schrecken, can you confirm that even the original CCIV map have been enlarged?

Thanks

The largest map is 2880 x 2880

The smallest is 1680 x 1440

And 62 maps in between, so should cater for all tastes and styles

You prolly got the wrong Vetmod installed (ie: playing as Americans with the German Vetmod adbs). Sure, enemy infantry are coded as vehicles...standard procedure to make them more aggressive in Vetmods.

Infantry coded as vehicles only become a problem in urban maps with large buildings...for Normandy and Ardennes villages and towns...not a problem.
