Hi Matthew,

A mod is a "modification" of a (perhaps) finalised game.
A patch is something to update an existing game version into a newer one.
Usually a patch is released by a game manufacturer (in CC2-case: Microsoft/Atomic), and a mod is released by unauthorized fans.


But in the old days (1998) of CC2-modding, some modding gurus named their modification "patches" (like "wfa" with his "US vehicle patch").

For a true list of old time descriptions of CC2 mods go here:

For a list of all CC2-custom maps ever released, look at my "CC2MapMuseum.zip" from
http://closecombat2.fortunecity.com/GuideList.html
actualized this August 2009.


For retreiving old archives of still existing CC2 stuff try a "way-back machine":

searching phrase:
"cc2.gamestats.com" or "http://www.clubssi.com/"


A short list of some early and essential old "mods and patches" can be found on this page:

The original patches by Microsoft/atomic might be available on their server or here at CCS.net.

Infos about the TournamentHouse patches can be found at CCS.net or my site or at TH itself:

Good luck
