How did it compare to the other mods you've done Mooxe? |

If I was a modder I would just continue with the originals. |

The people who will appreciate the mods the most*, and play them, are those players who started with the originals. These rereleases are just torture. The S3T team is not big enough, some of them are modders will thier own side lined projects of converting thier own mods. The only clear direction they have is to patch and work on OMG. Most of that focus seems to be on making historically accurate maps and coding them. Well IMO maps do not make a mod, its the data, and the bugs. |

Does anyone really care of GJS gets converted? I dont, I have been playing it for years and having it available for TLD is pretty much worthless. A duplication of work, a misdirection of effort. |

er... which you're not? So your opionion counts for...
you sound like the boss of the US patent office in 1900 "everything that will be invesnted has already been invented" And whats this longing for the same old maps adnauseum, can anyone say pet maps? One of the strength of Close combat is the relative ease at which new maps can be made. Look at Cc3 over 500 dfedicated maps... and you'd rather stick with the original 30 odd? crap! Surely the basis behind any wargame be it computerised or lead soldiers and dice is using the troops at your disposal to overcome the enemy in different terrain? Oh to hell with it, lets delete all the maps from CCS and just use aerial images of parking lots, thats all we need apparently.
* people who appreciate the mods the most???? Who? You and your ilk? On the contary; people who appreciate the mods the most are those new to the game and thrilled by it. Those who brought in by the new releases not bored grumpy old hacks for whom nothing is ever good enough
yeah except the extra map slots that someone may wish to fill, the extra BG slots and considering anyone doing it is doing it on their own time I guess really its up to them eh?
Easily solved don't buy it, don't torrent it, if you never see it the torment should be so much less. You will know it's out there which will of course cause moments of blind terror and pain but there are medications to ease that. But even as i write this i know you won't be able to hold yourself back, you'll get it legally or illegally. Actually you notice how much of the ranting is coming from the whiners and naysayers?
And lets face it "the rereleases will continue to be torture?" What if they were simple mods based on the old games made by the same people? Would they be torture then? Is the torture the fact that once you hoped to get a hold of the CC code and profit from it? Do I hear Brando screaming "I coulda been a contender!" Welcome to Polkaville!

Did I move it too soon? Its not a conspiracy though...
Matrix is best at re-releasing old games, Close Combat is not the only one. Thats what they do. Fire and forget. If I was a modder I would just continue with the originals. The people who will appreciate the mods the most, and play them, are those players who started with the originals. These rereleases are just torture. The S3T team is not big enough, some of them are modders will thier own side lined projects of converting thier own mods. The only clear direction they have is to patch and work on OMG. Most of that focus seems to be on making historically accurate maps and coding them. Well IMO maps do not make a mod, its the data, and the bugs. Does anyone really care of GJS gets converted? I dont, I have been playing it for years and having it available for TLD is pretty much worthless. A duplication of work, a misdirection of effort. Anyways rant rant rant, the rereleases will continue to be torture. Oh and why do S3T members will still continue to tag me as some lead conspirator whenever these threads flare up. The real truth is, were just a bunch of unhappy customers led by a common interest. So stop being so paranoid. |

So you can take the time to point out copyright breaches from here to Matrix, but you can't report back how discouraged people are about the product? And then when someone speaks up about it you call it nonsense! |
