I'm currently sitting on the fence between purchasing this or COI or any of them at all. After reading some of the board, appears it is an OK game, but maybe not great. I'm personally interested in something that is squad level versus massive engagements so this series intrigues me. I did not really play any of the games when they first were released. Seems like the most common types of issues identified related to Ai and pathfinding.

Therefore I haven't really seen any comments after the last patch was issued. Is it any better? Did any of the pathfinding get fixed? AI pretty good (keep in mind I'm no pro anyways)?

Thoughts?

Revision of elements files and map coding have greatly improved pathfinding.

Also revision of the exe with regard to pathfinding has corrected the armour's tendancy to stop midway when given a move order over very long distances or multiple way points.

You still can't drive a truck over a high wall or through a dense forest :) (but, you're not supposed to)

Thanks Andrew...I'm finding it hard to resist...I'm just a little concerned this forum seems a little quiet so I'm not finding a whole lot of detail. Any other forums where this game is more actively discussed? Without a demo (and limited AARs), I'm finding it really hard to determine if this will be good for me. My impulse says 'yes', but my gut says.....

The CSO site was the most active... but it has fallen over due to tech problems.

The CCs site has a small forum running (Warning: it is populated by CC5 diehards :) )

Thanks again Andrew....I did take a peak at that one, but not much activity over there either. Too bad CloseCombat.org is down since it appears to be the place to check things out.

I'll keep my eye out and see if any more details are forthcoming to try and make a decision. If any other experienced players happen to see this thread, I would be really interested in your thoughts.

Will you be playing the AI/H2H or Multiplayer?

COI has a campaign (along with Operations and single battles) that cover multiple hot spots on the Russian front from 41 to 45 and can be played against the AI or H2H.

CCMT is modern is for single battles with up to 5vs5 play. Single battles against the AI can be done but with the large maps and deadly modern weapons isn't as much fun against the AI as COI in my opinion....
