Hello, I am wondering if anyone can help in the downloading of new maps. I have played cc for years but I am new to the online gaming and have no idea of how to play online or how to unzip new maps. Wondering if anyone out there can help with a step by step guide. Thank-you would appreciate it!
to play it online, just download www.gamespyarcade.com and that will set you up with other players. dont know about the maps tho, as im a cc5 player, but i think you just need to unzip the maps into the map directory of your cc3 install. try it

Finally gat to play a game thanks to "us brake". Took me through the whole process and then played me a couple of times. Thanks to him again.
As for the downloading I can get it downlaoded or into a zip file but cannot/ or don't know how to get it into the actual game.Thanks anyway. Anymore info would be appreciated.
Welcome to the CC3 online community we are glad to have you join us.
Once you unzip a downloaded map you copy the files and paste them in the folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Close Combat III\Maps.
You can add around 600 custom maps to your folder before it is full.
Both players must have custom maps installed in order to battle on that map.
Once custom maps are installed you may create scenario(s) on it as you would with any of the stock maps.

Heh, glad to finally be a part of the cc3 community and thanks again to you Us_Brake for helping me out. Haven'e had a chance yet to try out your suggestion but will give it a shot. I think my real problem here is I am not sure how or where to unzip files. I have a tried a couple of times and seem to be doing something wrong. Anyway I will give your suggestion a shot but could be back looking for some answers.
I right click on a zip file and extract it to the same folder I have the zip file stored in. Each Close Combat map is made up up usually of 6 seperate files. When unzipped the files will be contained in a folder. Open the folder then copy and paste the unzipped map files to:
