I think it is realy low to try and make a long list by stating the same features multiple times.

Status: offline 		Planned release date for this is next Wednesday, assuming all goes well. We've posted the product info in the Coming Soon section. Have to say I'm having a blast playing the Grand Campaign with the gold master candidate, some very tough night battles with the airborne followed up by tough beach landings.

Actually, that's known as a copy and paste error. Going in to fix it now.

Yes, but not as super-old as CC1.

CC2 came out in 1997.

IMO, its the best of all the CC titles.

It's older than 3,4 and 5! That said, it's also the best of the bunch as well as the one most in need of an update, which is why it's the one folks really want to see.

Status: offline 		I would get this, but I'm not sure there'll be enough of an improvement over the original to justify the outlay.  However it does look worthwhile for new users, it looks like it's a combination of the original Invasion Normandy and the fantastic Gold, Juno, Sword mod.

Status: offline 		Yes it does include Commonwealth forces.  British, Canadian and French Commando teams.  Dixie's last post is correct in that you can now play all three sectors TOGETHER in one grand campaign.  So if you're particularly talented CC'er you could conceivably link up all your forces from Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.  The allies had the bar set pretty high in setting that goal and you'll find this is no different.  Many maps from the GJS mod were utilized in the Commonwealth sector of the TLD GC (with permission from Cathartes one of the mod creators)  as well as many maps from the Bloody Omaha mod (permission from Dom - it's mod creator) for the Omaha sector.  We've also created roughly 20 new maps as well as improved the coding of all 64.

My question is...why release the CC5 remake so soon? Most people haven't even completed their CCWAR GCs...or at least most people are still busy playing CCWAR.
And the promised map coding glitches fix/patch for CCWAR isn't even out yet.

Status: offline 		It's just a matter of when the planned improvements and new features were ready. The S3T team works pretty fast and once a release is done and ready for release, we don't tend to sit on it for a long while, especially with other games in the queue.

That being said, I'm going to buy all of them as Matrix releases them.

Ever since CC5 was released and then followed by the GJS and Bloody Omaha mods players yearned for a complete representation of the D-Day Landings.

With the improvements we've made to the CC engine and the expansion to 64 maps (previously 44) this dream has finally been made possible.

From the pre-dawn airbourne landings where dispersed groups of men and equipment had to reform in the dark and hostile Normandy hinterland and then assault their assigned objectives using the darkness as a shield and flares to light their way, through the beach landings in the three seperate sectors where the allies fought with a vast array of weaponry to overcome the Atlantic Wall and reach their Day one Objectives.

All the while the German divisions fought tenaciously to throw them back into the sea with everything they had from under strength Ost troops to the powerful 21 Pz Division.

It was four days before the day 1 objectives were mostly achieved and we have presented you the opportunity to either throw the allies back in to the sea or achieve those objectives as per the time table originally conceived.


I've found this to be the best D-Day gaming experience I have encountered.

Sorry but you are wrong, very wrong, I made a CC5 mod named Invasion Normandy 1944 with all the beaches and sides from invasion, perhaps even I added more that you have not added.;)
