Mooxe you are "legally" correct, but there is a reason MS dropped CC, then SSI dropped it and finally Atomic went out of business. So if the fan site assists/supports people to get our favorite game without paying for it then it is only a matter time before we do not get new versions to play....

Any copies of CC on this server are not illegal. It would be illegal if I shared them because the server is in Canada. I suppose if I moved it to another country it would be legal.

Yes, the reason was that they weren't able to provide a finished game and repeatedly released the same game with minor changes. Reviewers got fed up with it around CC4.

Even when one got a demo from cover CD, one could "admire" the awesome vehicle pathfinding that Atomic wasn't able to fix for years.

Depends on how you're downloading them and where you're located. That's always a risk but there are ways to ensure your safety.
If you're downloading using torrents you should really be using IP bounces if you have any fears.
Besides, you have to be very unlucky to become one of the few who get in trouble and made an example of.

It is not illegal to download torrent files because you download small parts everywhere. When all those small pieces are downloaded, the computer gathers them as one file. That applies to Finland. Don´t know other countries.

Uploading is an other thing though.

Who pays the modders for doing the wonderful job they do?

If people don't have the money to buy a half-assed 50 bucks game (sorry, but that's what matrix releases are in my book after getting CoI) and there's an invention called torrent... If there wasnt that beautiful invention i wouldn't have ever played CC and my life would be really boring. This game unleashed my inner grognard, so god bless torrents. Go for them.

I concur. All the wonderful mod makers out there really kept the Close Combat series alive and well. Did they make the modifications for profit? Nope.

The mod makers saw an opportunity to modify a game and serve its community through their time and talents. Matrix Games saw a business opportunity, primarily. I owe many years of CC gaming to the mod makers; I won't give Matrix anything (I certainly won't buy from them).

I'm playing CC5 on a modern computer with the help of the "Mo'Slo" app; runs just fine.

Oh, and I just celebrated my 5th year anniversary with the closecombatseries.net forums. Thank you for giving Close Combat players a great place to congregate.

And if Matrix Games decided to give the CC community all of these things free of charge (like the mod makers were/are doing), I would probably be interested. I am impressed more with the heart of the mod makers; freely giving of themselves for the community, than I am with Matrix Games and what motivates them.

Sure Matrix is a business, no one is disputing that, but their latest installments in the CC franchise are not unlike what the mod makers have put out for the community (free of charge) long before Matrix saw an opportunity to make money off of CC.

Oh, and your point about me giving away my work helps my case; that's precisely what the mod makers are doing and have done! Guys like you and me, giving of themselves for the sake of the community and for the betterment of our beloved game. Their sense of satisfaction comes not from sales figures (as in a business), but merely from seeing the game they cherish and the community they belong to, thrive.

Look, I know Schrecken you probably understand the argument I've put forth this past day, but you don't want to agree with it; and that's fine. Believe it or not, I wish the best for you and Matrix. I, do though, stand by the words I've written here, and in previous posts, and I know that many people in this community agree with me. It's just something that you will have to accept; not everyone is going to share in your opinion.

éxcept the mod makers haven't done to CC what has been achieved by S3T

Not one mod with more than 44 maps
Not one mod that can be fought over more than 2 turns
Not one mod that fixes the broken rules
Not one mod that BG's can retreat on
Not one mod that can include night battles
Not one mod that etc etc

So, you make a good argument but it is hollow.

You constantly speak about game features, Schrecken; that's not the issue being discussed, here. The primary issue is, where does the commitment of Matrix or the mod makers, lie? With making money or with the good of the community in mind? The mod makers have raised the bar when it comes to modifying the CC games in one profound respect and that is, they exhibit selflessness and generosity that far exceeds any virtues that Matrix can muster.

So, no more straw man arguments, Schrecken; just stick with the issue at hand, please. Thanks.

There is no doubt Matrixgames' only interest is in making a living for it's owners and staff... no one has argued otherwise.

modders endeavours are of course generous and selfless, apart from those seeking adoration and compliments from their peers.... nothing wrong with that though, what ever rocks your boat.

With the above in mind the games have not advanced one iota since 2000 despite the very best efforts of the modders to bring new scenarios and Theatres of war to the table.

It is only through commercial interest that any coding and technical advancement has been achieved let alone fixing the broken code that we've had to live with since 2000.

And, on top of that, modding options have now been given a greater breadth and depth than ever before possible, all thanks to commercial interest and the dedicated work of a very few people.

All very true, Schrecken; that's why I said in a previous post that I wish Matrix the best.

Still, though, many members of this community feel that Matrix was an intrusion on their beloved game. Take for instance, this poll.

Was this poll scientific? Probably not, though I think it does reflect the feelings of our community pretty well. The majority who voted do believe in their heart, that CC will always belong to them, no matter who happens to have the legal right over it.

CC is sacred ground to many here, Schrecken, that's all. That's the reason why you find people here that do not appreciate the efforts of Matrix as wholeheartedly as you do.

Thanks for your comments.

Its a product that provides revenue for Matrix, though, so is that why it conveniently becomes more than a game for you. You get riled up anytime someone says anything derogatory about Matrix. Next time you start doing your cheerleading and advertising for Matrix, pleading that people take a look at CoI or TLD, the community should just say, "Tough, we've got a fully functioning Close Combat game, we don't need you."

You see, Schrecken, it works both ways.

By your own admission (and no one would dispute it), Matrix is interested in being “in the black,” ONLY. The majority of the CC community doesn't care about that. They want to see CC (and the community) flourish, enough so, that many members spent their time, working hard, modifying CC and sharing the fruit of their labor with the community, free of charge.

These people, who were working on CC long before Matrix saw CC as another cash cow for them, show a beauty in their character that Matrix doesn't show; and that is, while they both have worked on improving CC, one has decided to do it for monetary profit and the other for the sake of the game, itself. Money doesn't enter into the equation for these fine people (the mod makers), and that's why you find that many here are not Matrix cheerleaders.

Sure, Matrix has made improvements to CC, but they did it with a vested interest (monetary gain) in mind. The people that kept the life blood flowing through the CC community, and who get the glory in the minds of many in our community, is the mod makers. Bless them.

and now most of them have gone because the game wasn't supported by publisher or developer.

And these are the people who have lead the development work on CC the past few years enabling a product that was good enough to entice a publisher into backing it.

Can you imagine how the community would have continued to wither, as it had been. Only since CoI was released in early 2007 and then following further releases has the community gained some spark.

Schrecken, I entered this thread because Zturm (on page 2) gave his commentary on CoI to which you replied that if he thought CoI was "half-assed" then his life must be, because he played CC for many years and enjoyed it. You failed to see that he made a distinction between CoI and the original CC games, but more to the point, you still told a user on this forum that his life was "half-assed." You sounded riled up there.

I've pointed out in previous posts that I can appreciate Matrix, but that I can see why some in our community have chosen to shun them.

I don’t really care to summarize our discussion again; just re-read our discussion if it doesn’t make sense, please. If our discussion has devolved into repeating ourselves, I don’t care to go any further with you, and it seems like I've had to repeat myself twice because you haven't added anything new to your argument.

It was nice chatting with you, though, Schrecken. You've done a good job for Matrix, these last few days; I'm sure they're really proud of you for sticking up for them on this forum. :)

Ciao, for now, my friend.

Its quite a combination of events and actions that keep this going. Too many to pin it on any single event. From all my site stats I keep, I have seen no spark nor any withering in the amount of people that come here. The traffic and interest for this site atleast has been a steady plateau. New users coming in, old users leaving, a constant flow.

I have attached CCS stats from January 2008 to date of this post.

yeh

I see a spike at each new release

I then see a general tapering off until the next release.

I also see 40% of visitors come here by mistake and that seems pretty constant.

My guess would be that since Matrix set up forums they must take up some peoples time, expecially new players that don't even know there are community sites.

Jonez68 - you keep repeating yourself about repeating yourself and yet you get the original quote wrong... so maybe you had better reread and repeat.

Jonez68 - you keep repeating yourself about repeating yourself and yet you get the original quote wrong... so maybe you had better reread and repeat.

What you are meaning "by mistake" would best be termed as "bounce rate." Bounce rate is the % of visitors that come here either by mistake, or just drop in and check and see if anything is new and leave. For example, you come here to the main page of CCS, see that nothing is new, then close the tab. Your visit was probably less than 10 seconds then you left, thats a bounce. Or someone visits here because the site came up on a search, they see front page and determine this isnt what they are looking for and leave, another bounce. The bounce rate is 32%.

I see the spikes to obviously. The spikes lasted a few days. Wacht Am Rhein spike is the highest (Oct 2008). The spike for TLD (May 2009) would be more like a bump, followed by the lowest number of visitors to CCS since the site opened, traffic dipped below 500 people a day which lasted almost one week. The stats from the previous years shows spikes on all major mod releases, the original stalingrad mod brought the most traffic here ever in one day - to this day, about 80gigs in traffic the day it was released. CoI and CCMT also spiked, but with mods or rereleases it all drops down back to normal in a few days.

Anyways, you can draw a straight line from one side to the other and the highs and lows are pretty much the same. Overall from the stats attached in this thread, its a plateau with small waves.

Looking back at the previous years, there has been a slow steady decline. The years 2005/2006/2007 traffic averages per day were more in the 750-900 people per day, whereas 2007/2008/2009 its more like 550-750 per day.

My last response was really to illustrate how thoughtless your last reply to me was. You make two charges against me; I’m repeating myself and I’m misquoting. You had no problems making the claims, but you didn’t show any evidence to support them.
That’s why my response was terse.

You see, Schreck, it’s really quite simple and not difficult to understand: a commercial entity, Matrix, by the consensus of this community (and CC gamers that don’t frequent message boards, like this one, that I know), has repackaged an old game and had the audacity to not only charge an inflated price, but to ask us to support them.
That’s the problem that I shed light upon. You’ve already admitted that the character of the mod makers is superior to Matrix, whose sole interest in CC is to make money.

I mean, think about this, even if you get the “the last word” you so desperately want here on this message board, the consumers that disagree with you (many from what I can tell), will in fact, win ultimately because they will simply choose to boycott Matrix and not buy from them (like I have freely done). Additionally, I’ve seen that the torrent links on the first page direct people to certain Matrix games that have been successfully pirated and are available free to download.

Good luck with stemming the tide on both of those issues, my friend. :)

You’ve shown yourself to be someone that makes up “facts” (like downloading torrents will destroy a person’s computer (page 1) or the CC community withering away only to be saved by Matrix releases (page 3)), which makes it unproductive to continue speaking to you.

Really, is it necessary for you to continue? Can your ego allow for people to have a differing opinion than you?
Again, I would sincerely appreciate it if you would stop addressing me in your posts. Either don’t acknowledge this message or simply state that you understand and will comply with my request; please be respectful and heed my request.

Thank you and I sincerely hope that you will have a wonderful day, Schrecken.

I didn't say that.

i did say the community was withering over years which mooxe has backed up quoting from his stats.

I did say that the releases had spiked interst which mooxe has backed up by quoting from his stats. (although mooxe has charcterised tLD as a bump)

Please stop making stories up about me because you are losing an argument.

being in the honorable position of being a modder does not equate to endorsing torrent downloads of copyright material no matter how you try and screw the argument you put forward.

Whenever we are done trainwrecking this thread I'll split it off.... If someone is looking for a torrent I dont want them to wade through all the crap.

Sorry about that, mooxe.

And Schreck, like I said, good luck with bringing an end to the hundreds of torrent downloads of Matrix games, daily. Matrix has, most likely, already lost thousands of dollars so far. You better do a better job policing up these "illegal"downloaders soon, or else you won't have a business to support anymore! *gasp* You're life will be over, then!

Please , get over your fixation on my posts.

I'm sure matrix realise this and cost it into pricing, so everyone else pays a higher price so mooxe can gain more street credibilty as champion of the little guy. [snort]

You gain more cred as another that has fired an arrow at scheck (oh 2 votes... woohoo), with all your scientific evidence of the hordes that shun matrix and you can all pat yourselves on the back.

and once again when (if) support and development is curtailed mooxe can say "I told you so"... it's called the self fulfilling prophecy.

For a fan site to actually promote the illegal download and distribution of the game it purports to love is warped at best and morally repugnant at least. It does nothing to expand the fan base and only encourages morally bankrupt individuals, people that you would not normally deal with in the real world.

Hey, but that's ok you stepped in in defence of the person with the half-assed life your moral standing is as steadfast as your backbone - kuch like jellied eel.

Please don't feel you have to respond, I know you will be busy choking on bile.

Its true, go ahead... blame me for the high prices.... Matrix Games never sets high prices for re-releases, this is not one of thier patterns. I suppose if I actually did torrent the re-rereleases then I could get some real credibility...

Ohh and the rest of your post...... dont make the mole speak about the new strat features in OMG! You are starting to anger the mole.... he speaks when hes angry.... ok?

Please start a Matrix pricing thread if you want to go down that track... otherwise you are way off topic.

hi matthewhalos,

I saw your posting. Maybe you should try a store Data Blitz (hope there is one) - in SM Davao. I bought my copy CC5 in the same store in Makati years back. I think its better to have the original one.

Cheers!

CC5 mods will not work with TLD. Two separate games they are.

yeah that`s what I realized, I bought TLD mostly because I tought mods would work
but I have a ISO of a CC5 game, could I play the mods with it?
I tried it and even if it`s a ISO I need a crack to play so would mods work on that kind of game?

Yes mods will work with a pirated copy. I think the no-cd patch is in the downloads section here. Do a regular install, then copy the no-cd cc5.exe over the one that was installed.

Well I´m too dr.. tired to read all posts trough when I last posted mine.

So, Mooxe said it´s not illegal. What´s the problem then?
I know they have done their work but as meister said this game is not longer available to buy.
If they are so stubborn to make it a freeware, then it´s their problem!

P.S. No offense to Mr. Crikey

Classic CC5 is included in the package when you buy CC:The Longest Day - it is not freeware.

Classic CC4 is included in the package when you buy CC: Wacht am Rhein - it is not freeware.

Hi schrecken,
Questions:
1) Say a person buys TLD, and gets the included (above mentioned) Classic CC5.
Is the Classic CC5 disc compatible with CC5 mods?

2) Are Stalingrad and other CC5 mods going to be converted for use with TLD?

3) Will CC4, CC5 mods be converted to use with the remake of CC2?

4) Will the remake of CC2 have CCMT multiplayer options available (more than 2 players)? ... even if just for single scenarios?

Hi schrecken,

How about answers to question #1 above, and if possible #2.
I realize the other questions aren't able to be talked about at this time.

Thanks

1) TLD, including the Classic CC5 built in, can not play CC5 mods.

2) Some mods makers have suggested they are working on moving their CC5 mods to TLD but nothing has been released. Unlike COI there does not seem to be an effort/push by the development team to move mods from the older the game to the newer one(s). Here is a link to the remake / re-releases web sites to see what is available for extra downloads; http://closecombat.matrixgames.com/

3) Maybe the mod makers and or development team are waiting for the CC2 remake???

4) ?

Thanks for the reply Tejszd

I was going to buy TLD to give it a try, but also wanted to try Stalingrad and some others. I thought it was possible to use the mods with CC5 classic, but I guess not. I misinterpreted what schrecken said, in his above post, to mean the CC5 that comes with TLD is the same as the one able to use with CC5 mods ... quote "Classic CC5 is included in the package when you buy CC:The Longest Day - it is not freeware".
I think I'll just wait for the CC2 remake and see what happens after that.
I'm not trying to be cheap ... but it does seem kind of expensive to buy TLD, and an old copy of CC5 (to use CC5 mods), and then get CC2 remake when it comes out ... when ever that is .... 2 days, 2 months, 2 years.

I know there is a lot of work involved with these re-releases, but it seems like a good opportunity for profit and community building is being missed due to the fragmented state of CC in its new forms. I'm sure people would buy TLD even just to use the old CC5 mods ... that would have made more profit if was released like that. It may be something to think about for the CC2 remake.
But on a positive note ... it is interesting to see CC make a come back.

I have already bought CC5 TLD and some versions CC4 War (for myself and friends). But I would like to play now in known mod GJS which not to establish on CC5 TLD. Prompt, where I can buy original ??5? I live in Russia and to buy through ebay difficult and long. Whether probably to buy the digital version original ??5 (to download through the Internet)?
