GaryChildress -> What's the Latest on Close Combat? (3/25/2010 12:12:56 PM)

Has anyone heard any more about the Close Combat series? I've been largely away from Matrix forums lately, pre-occupied with work and a few other projects. I was looking forward to a remake of CC II A Bridge Too Far but haven't seen anything on it lately. Anyone know if this is in the works or not? Are there any more Close Combat titles in the pipeline for the near future?



JudgeDredd -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (3/26/2010 12:35:09 PM)

tbh Gary I'm not entirely sure. As far as I gather (and can remember) it is preceived that Close Combat 2 will be remade. No-one has confirmed...but there were tones in posts from relevant people that it would be done.

I can't remember the thread or forum, but I do recall thinking "at least it's being considered". Alot of people have asked about Close Combat 2. I think it's widely accepted as the best of the series.

So I can't say for sure, but I am confident, from what I remember reading, that it will be re-done.



Erik Rutins -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (3/26/2010 12:36:00 PM)

The CC2 re-make is well underway, we'll have some news on that soon.



JudgeDredd -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (3/26/2010 12:38:31 PM)

That is great news...[:D]

Wow! Saving the best for last.
But we are still missing a PTO version of CC (but of course that's a totally new game).

Matrix where at one time going to make a Pacific CLose Combat style game called close assault....with the regretable death of Combat Leader, close assault died aswell.

That's great news, Erik. I've always considered CC2 the best of the series. It also happens to be the first wargame that I played online against another person. Great fun! [:)]



Dennistoun -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (3/26/2010 9:02:59 PM)

That is tremendous news. This can't come quick enough - well, that and a certain mega patch for another game...

My thoughts exactly. I'm still hoping that some new releases will be on the not so distant horizon. Although new improved versions of the classics are always welcome too.

Nope, it was a direct TCP/IP game, when that was a very new thing. My most memorable game, probably even to this day, was a battle where my opponent and I were down to one infantry man, each. They met in a final duel inside a house, and I got to watch my little grunt kill his, giving me the victory.

One of the all-time classic games, for sure. [8D]

see my above post...this already fell by the wayside.



sol_invictus -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (3/27/2010 8:01:20 PM)

Great! CC2 is a definite buy.



MF Church -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (5/7/2010 9:52:21 PM)

Cool News !

<<< first post ! posting here! :D

Hope this also BUMPS this thread up!

I really think NOT only are folks looking FORWARD to this game! but they will EVEN buy it ! ( i hope ) !

Tks again Matrix AND ERIC !

:D



LitFuel -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (5/8/2010 4:07:32 AM)

I think it's soon now...when are we going to get this gem? favorite by far of the CC's. I just loved the feel of this one.



MajFrankBurns -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (5/8/2010 7:20:00 AM)

I'd rather have the PTO version instead of rehash and remake of an old game like CC2. Can't wait for this Storm over the Pacific game to come out.



Q.M -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (5/8/2010 8:23:23 AM)

Love ABTF as well.  Cannot wait for it thats for sure, what a great game and what a classic!



NefariousKoel -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (5/8/2010 10:39:12 AM)

Better be careful Gary.

If Slaak hears you mention CC, he'll hound you til death about playing his pet CC3 map(s).

[:D]



Q.M -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (5/9/2010 11:42:48 AM)

I'm sure I played Slaak back in the Zone days.  I know one guy I played against made sure we played the series of factory maps all the time.  I wonder.



Tejszd -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (5/11/2010 3:29:41 AM)

Any news Erik Rutins???

Sounds like something he'd do. [:D]

Watch out! He may start stalking you for rematches!



MF Church -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (5/26/2010 9:56:08 PM)

I am not trying to be smart / funny... However, is Eric still around / alive? I mean maybe, he hasn't answered in here cuz something may have happened to him. :(

Hoping for the best for him and everyone who stop by in here!

Keep looking Up! :)



JudgeDredd -> RE: What's the Latest on Close Combat? (5/26/2010 9:59:14 PM)

Eriks fine I'm sure - I think he's gone a little mad ( [;)] ) but he's kicking around. He's a busy boy with the joining of forces with Slitherine and with the release of games - and the Mega patch for Panzer Command Kharkov.

You can catch him in the Battles for the Bulge forum as he'll be hanging out there for the next couple of days dealing with it's release.

Hi guys,

We have a couple of updates coming soon for Wacht am Rhein and The Longest Day. We are also getting very close on the next major release, which should be to CC2 what The Longest Day was to CC5. More details will be coming within a month.

Regards,

- Erik
