We are still waiting for detail information, some screen shot and report of developing.

There is a big question. When this game will be release? as mentioned some where in Forum in the vicinity of 2014? or we shall wait?

Important any detail about the amount of maps, is that similar to panther in fog with about 356 maps or same as LSA with more than 60 maps?

We wish to see somethings especial for this final module.

The number of maps will be more like Panthers in the Fog.

Any fix or new feature that is going to be available with this game?

Thanks.

yes I created the explosions (with 3D software) and Carthartes made them work internally, I'm amazed about how much he knows about the game's internal functions. No surprise since he's been here since the beginning, it's really a pleasure to work with him!

For as far I can say there are some fixes but for now I can't be too specific about the details.


Edit: There's a topic I've created about creating complex objects, although there are no tutorials yet (published); It's my intention to add a few tutorials after the GtC project is finished. Feel free to add a few requests so I can add them to my list.

It would be cool if you could incorporate the 3D based soldier sprite you made, it was really something.

I agree with that wodin, we'll just have to see what the beta-testers have to say as well.


Cc2 was the first cc title I purchased (back in 1997) and I'm really inspired by the quality of the game, so I guess we're on the same page.

Any possibility of doing Kursk? Or something with lots of artillery or tanks?

Close Combat isn't a RTS game. You don't have base-building and the missions happen clearly on tactical level.

Status: offline 		Please make it so soldiers who are shooting pistols actually are shooting pistols and so that surrendered soldiers don't walk around with guns.

also in PITF when a soldier gets shot while laying down there is no transition from live to dead, which used to exist in older games.

Really I do not understand why CC has gone so long without updating soldier animations. It seems like instead of perfecting the animations more flaws have developed and good features go missing, which really cheapens the play. Soldier animations look cruddy. Not a big deal because gameplay is what is most important, but CC has had like 15 years to be improve the otherwise most realistic soldiers in any game in history and for some reason it hasn't happened

maybe I am being a little harsh but I remember thinking they could have done better with the animations when cc2 came out!



thanks!

Status: offline 		The are two main reason the soldier animations have never been redone -- the main one is the sheer work involved. They are all done frame by frame, meaning there are several thousand frames that would have to be redone to create new animations. The second reason is the small pixel size available in the game engine. The soldiers are about 20 pixels in height, which doesn't leave a lot of room for improvement.

Status: offline 		I owned all the old CC games from 2 upwards to know it has no base building. However it's still a real time strategy game. Or to be nit picky real time tactical game..however as that isn't known as a genre then CC falls under the RTS genre. However this is getting to pedantic and Aspergers like;).

So I'm going to ask something else.
I was thinking that a good idea would be that at higher difficulty levels, instead of forming teams of two soldiers would be better would if you reduce the number of platoons available for each regiment.

Busy, yes. We never set a deadline, just aiming for a target. We do want to get you something that is properly tested. As Conrad mentioned, I suspect you will hear more substantive news very soon.

Regarding difficulty levels and reducing platoons: it's an interesting idea, but would require greater code changes to the engine that are not practical to pursue at this point in time.

In any case a launch close to "blody first" is not good news
Who wants a facelift instead of something new ?

Good feedback Octyss. Our estimate is that some people wil prefer the new and some prefering the old style.

I beleive there is always room to celebrate and improve the old style whereas 'The Bloody First' wil shed new light on the series. Because the new unity engine fits the contemporary gaming audience.
