On my opinion only Blitzkrieg 2 has a good tactica 3D engine, all the others are equal or worse than Squad Assault, they have powerfull graphics but no more, on them you can not have a full image of the battlefield. It is the bad than I see on many 3D games.

Agreed...
Even in Blitzkrieg 2 the zoom out level is still too limited for my liking.
The CC system is still the best IMO...but enhancing the system with some of the graphic blitz and dazzle seen on new WW2 RTS titles won't hurt.
Yes but for many years we did not see a new Close Combat, I think that we must live with the stuff that now we have. If all WW2 RTS were as Close Combat games, we would can to press more to Strategy 3 about to make one game with better graphics but the true is that there are not more games as Close Combat on the world, we can see many of command and conquer games but I never have seen other company making one game as Close Combat. By it I think that to speak of one game with better graphics is a bad ilusion by the moment. We can speak about other things that we saw on other CC games as mount infantry on vehicles, one better scenary editor as on CC3 and a multiplayer with 3 vs 3 human players or more. Better graphics? yes but we can live with this old graphics many time more.

And I do not know if I have told it but I do not see it too easy because it were possible, other games would be as Close Combat, no?

It's been over 10 years...you want the next CC (CC6, CC7) to be just like CC5/WAR graphically?
I personally don't mind the dated CC graphics...but I think it's time to move on. My non CC-fan gamer friends on the other hand..they're not too thrilled with by CC's 'primitive graphics'.
I don't think it's so impossible or that hard to implement the classic CC game system into a new modern (more complex and graphically appealing) graphics engine.

Why not? I like it, people play it. I can mod it without problems. If they make it on 3D, I´m sure that we would not see many mods more, probably only a few and not made on 7 days.

Well...if the tools are available...modders will mod away.
Maybe include modding tools for the 3D objects...just like scenario editors in say...Faces of War or Blitzkrieg 2.
BTW, what do you mean a mod in 7 days? Did you mean your CCWAR VetBoB...technically what you accomplished in 7 days was a mod conversion...you converted your CC5: VetBoB into CCWAR format...and it was surprisingly fast...but still very very different from creating a full new mod from the ground up...that usually takes 1 year at least...usually even longer.
You should know from your experience with Star Wars and Ebro...

Can be. But I was thinking on to add new units and for it you need new 3D models, a 3D model can take you many time. And tools.......they are too expensive. Of course if they make one game with all the WW2 units by example.

I was thinking that on WAR we can import all from Close Combat 4 and 5, on one 3D game, probably we would can not to make it.

SW Mod was made on one year probably or more, Battle of Ebro on 2 or 3 years and I was not working on it alone. Without Zikat maps we would not end it. And the CCWAR VetBoB probably was ended very fast because I made only a 25% from the original CC5 Ardennes Offensive, when I made the first version, I was working on it months and when I say months, they are from monday to sunday, not only a few hours per day. The same for CCWAR VetBoB, 7 days are a ilusion, 200 hours would be more realistic. All take time.[/quote]

In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
