The last of the series to be rereleased. Will it be based off the TLD/WaR engine or will it be an upgraded version of itself?

Can you actually upgrade the aging CC2 engine and dated graphics?
But if it's based on the TLD/WAR engine...then S3T needs to come up with a lot of new maps for ABTF.
I vote for TLD/WAR (enhanced CC5) engine though!

Therion, if you love CCMT and the single missions...you can always play CC5 single battles and not touch the Strat Map minigame Smile
Are they that much different from CCMT single missions/battles?

Based on what we have seen so far I'd say it would be another TLD/WAR build.
They were able to create new maps for WAR so I dont see that as an issue for ABTF.

I think the biggest worry is how large are the maps gonna be?
Large maps do not suit this Campaign inmho

Yes, CC5 doesn't have a mission editor.

Also, I like campaigns.

Is it really a rerelease if they build it upon the WaR/TLD games? It would be more like a Market Garden mod.

You have point Mooxe, it really isn’t a re-release if it is done on the CCengine instead of the CC2 code. So no I guess it can’t be called a re-release.

Mods change data, graphics and sound but the CC2 re-release will have code changes. So no I guess it can’t be called a mod.

Maybe it’s a new game. CC5 was a new game that was built on CC4 with some features added. It probably should be called CC# as it is an extension of the current series of games but then for some reason CC6 has become known in the CC community as the ALL NEW game….

Repeat number 2,687: CC4 and CC5 both come with mission editors.

I remain astonished that nobody knows about them.

Haven't you played CC4-CC5, Therion?
There is a scenario editor for creating single battles, Ops and GCs.
The single battle editor is pretty basic though...basically just selecting a map and selecting 2 BGs to fight on that map...plus adding basic things like what off board supports are available for each side.
You need screenshots for this? Wink

I started the CC series with CC2 on a mac. That's good news we could see a new version.

CC3/CoI, CC4/WaR and CC5/tLD all have battlemakers/scenario editors/mission  editors


The batlemaker that comes with CCMT is much more powerful than all the others no ifs or buts.

I sure hope that its true with the CC2 rerelease because it was my first CC back in -97 and i still think it has the best AI and the best stratlayer.

Can imagine this with the WaR/TlD engine and new maps, but please dont just use US VL flags this time!!!  Wink

Wow.. wonder what changed thier minds? I remember a conversation that CC2 wouldnt be rereleased, but hey.. thats great news!

CC2 works so well because of its engine and the small maps.

If they use the engine of those last 2 rereleases, then there are 2 concerns.

1:People will want bi g impressive looking maps, which while may be eye candy, take away a key plus to CC2.

2:You aqbsolutely have to keep the three sector landing zone set up, NOT a stragetic map. Historically the CC2 engine how it worked one map after another in rigid form is bang on.

In the end, if it uses another engine, (Unless a brand new one) its going to simply be a mod... and there alreayd is a ABTF CC5 mod in the works that looks to be a good one... and will be free....

64 solid small maps would still be true to the game.. the AI in this Cc version is the least in need of tweaking.. dare I say even touching the AI, jus play the Island scenario as Allies and you have probably one of the toughest fights in any factory CC game. It set the standared in AI that no other version of CC, including the rereleases came close to.

So 21 maps per sector... be interesting.. alot of 'approach' battles. Wouldnt be hisotrical but the gameplay provided they dont make it a War/TLD engine Mod woudl be killer. Perhaps even closest thing to unwinnable in GC as allies on vet. If any new maps were just as good as the originals.

But come on, you need 3 sepearate sectors and you cant have a wide open start map which throws history completely out the window. You then simply have a ABTF themed WAR/TLD mod... booo...

I guess after this rerelease theyll rererelease the series again....
