If you have a wide screen geometry, you have to set a resolution that fits that geometry.  I have a 19" wide screen display.  If I set the resolution to a standard geometry display (i.e. 1024x768, 1152x864 etc), then it gets stretched.  Howeverm if I use 1440x900 (like Southern land) it displays just fine.

Maybe this little discussion about uniforms should be moved elsewhere?  But I guess it's still in line with this "nice rant" topic...this time dealing with poor research and strange design decisions in the graphics department :)

Bravo, you guys got the uniform colors right!  Rolling Eyes
Too bad you didn't notice that the panzerwrap (black) and assault-gun wrap (gray) looks a bit different from the standard M43 tunic worn by German infantry.
I guess not much research was done on the different collar patch insignia for panzer crews also Wink
Great job on the well painted pink waffenfarbe though! :D

My post about panzer crew rank graphics from last year:

Probably the last organizational wear of M42 jumpsuits in combat in WW2 was by the 504th PIR, 82nd Airborne during Market Garden (I'm already thinking of a small mod so that the 504th can wear M42 jumpsuits in LSA).


that was well understood... it was done as a nod to the feelings and preference of many AB troops.


Really?  I guess S3T have now forsaken "the feelings and preference of these AB troops"...since in LSA the AB are now forced by the devs to wear their historical uniforms  Wink

As for the map stretching probs...enable "keep aspect ratio" on your graphics card driver.

And, mooxe, with all respect - because I do - I still get confused by this complaint about the re-makes being "more of the same; no great innovations".  I mean, isn't that what you'd expect when S3T are doing nothing more than re-working/tinkering with the original game code?  Just what kind of expectation did everyone have? .


We have been promised better things for years and years. Yes, literal years and years. And its just been glorified mod after glorified mod with what at best can be said is only minor bells and whsitles like a modestly lareger strat map and ooooh wow... a night vision viewing limit... ooohh.. ahhhh...

Consider the price you pay for these piss poor rereleases and comapre it to most new PC or console games, its a rip. If it was a 30$ game it woudl be a much easier loud of horsehit to swallow.

3ST is a bunch of elite old fart CC modders who want to make sure they make money off what they did a far better job at for free when thier heads actually fit through the door.

I play CCMT, I suppose it is a re-release, kinda. But I am not going back to CC5. That's crazy. If I go for WAR, TLD, or LSA, its to RIP some maps.  

I have so many ideas for CCMT mods I will never implement them all. The game could keep me busy for years.

There are a few bugs left, I wish Simtek/S3T hadn't lost the source code though. It would be nice to get a final patch.


Many of us have been where you are, positive and supporting these clowns and hoping our favorite game would get its due modern facelift. It wont happen, and after your the wallflower all night and nobody asks you on the CC dance floor, youll understand how most of the rest of us feel in being gyped by these developpers.

They lost the source code?? The LOST it? You mena they lost rights to work with it? Or did they actually in the 21st century msislaced the floppy disk they dept it on?  Rolling Eyes

Lost has a lot of different meanings. But I wouldn't be surprised if its kinda like what Schreck just mentioned.

Besides, its all water under the bridge at this point. Men will be men.

I found it odd (as a new member myself) that someone would just show up to bash things thing disappear.

I support the re-releases and Matrix. They are doing the best they can. I'd rather have something than nothing or say how all the new ones suck then hold up a game that is also full of its own issues. You can't have it both ways.

If you don't like don't follow it and don't bother us. I don't climb into your troll lair and shit on your couch do I?

Not sure i follow you, but it might be what’s called ”frustration” in my language, but Im piss poor in English so u have to Google it.

Hmm, yeh, lucky you, now u can buy a matrix cup for 9.99$ only.

Thats hard words man. But Im afraid thats true, so there is no hope then.

With such low standards and expectation, no wonder that the "new" product is satisfying for YOU.
Does that mean your preference is universal, so when the noob Dundradal is satisfied we all have to be?

At last an accurate description.

Dundradal wrote (View Post):

Yes, hard to get for you? I on the other hand do understand what they mean. The old games still have some issues, but we played em religiously for more than 10 years, (so the issues wasn’t that big after all).
And when ppl bough the new games they (rightly) expected the games to be an improvement.

Why not, I whant was good in the old (including good map cods), and improvements in the new... But as you say:

Maybe its your buddy causing trubble again Southernland, maybe its "John" aka Flamer aka Reboot from S3T / Matrix. Hes good at this stuff and pulled something like this before under different aliases.

Maybe Mooxe can give us this answer?

noob? Simply because I just found this place. Heh.

I never said you all had to be satisfied. I just didn't understand why so many people are so hostile.

I love the fact that being positive about the future apparently wins me admirers.

Ok, this is starting to deteriorate.  That said, I guess we did start with a rant. :D

CSO_Linebacker says that their hands are tied because of some contract with Destineer.  Ok, well, when does that contract end?  Is it over now?  I want to know.  And, when the contract is over, then what happens?  The way some people have harangued S3T and Matrix, it's possible the guys will be happy to be over with it and call it quits.  Then what happens to CC?  

I'll ask the question directly to the S3T guys, "What are your plans?"  We are pretty much the only people who are going to buy the shit you make, so you might as well keep us in the loop.  You may not like the lack of enthusiasm from some, but these people are your life-blood.  Period.  And, the same goes in the opposite direction.  Some of you should consider what happens to CC if all interest and development shuts down.  You may like to bang on about how little S3T has done, and in fact state that they are sending the franchise backwards, but if they were to close the door on CC dev' tomorrow, then who know if anyone would ever open it again.

So, let's turn it around.  Instead of what we don't want, what are we all after in a new Close Combat game?  I'm sure it's all been said before, but since S3T are holding the key to our franchise, and S3T have re-made every one of the original games possible, if they intend to make another it's going to have to be something new.  I'm going to be a little unimpressed if it's not.

Don't we all feel the same?

So, what do we want from a fresh game?  Let's give S3T, at this turning point, a clear list of demands and see if they can deliver.  Wink
