Who bought this game

Post by Southernland »

I'm wondering who bought this game

a/ Hardened CC vets (yeah I've been playing this game since the start and I know exactly where Hoffa's body is burried)

b/ Ersatz CCers, (yeah I owned one or two of the originals)

c/ Newbies (First CC game owned)

and secondly where the Hell are you from?

the reason i'm wondering is I'm interested to know if the WaR release has injected any new life into the game

a/ CC veteran

I bought all of the original Atomic games except V by which time I was burned out on the series because the AI was never improved. And the fact that CC4 was horribly designed and grossly historically inaccurate with some things like the Calliope. WaR is what CC4 should have been at the least.

B) Quit playing when windows changed, but did own all the originals. Where from? Michigan, and Mr. Hoffa is probably under I-696, which was being built at that time. I enjoy COI and WAR

 Actually Hoffa is buried in Northern Wisconsin, some say on the Grounds of the old Jack-O-Lantern Club (now an Ice Arena) in Eagle River.  The club was a well known mafia underground hang out back in the days of Capone, Dillenger and others.  Northern Wisconsin in general was a get away of choice for many mobsters.  Hoffa and the Teamsters of course had ties to organized crime, hence the rumor of his burial there began to spread.  True story, there was what clearly appeared to be the execution style murder of an Eagle River restaurant owner as recent as about 12-15 years ago.  Shot in the head in the parking lot.

[8|]  In case it isn't clear, while the above information is indeed true, I am not suggesting that the rumer is true.  But it is always a fun storry to tell guests visiting Northern Wisconsin.

I read somewhere here that " A Bridge Too Far" is coming from Matrix in some form, any hope for that ?

Try the factory on the Stalin 3 map in CCIII. Look under some benches or behind boilers etc. [;)]

That could be just one of the place he is.

I thought he was buried under Giants Stadium?

Hard to belive that secret has been kept this many years.
Surly you would think someone on their death bed would say"ok he his here"

ommon guys it was a joke, everyone knows Hoffa is serving burgers in New Mexico while Elvis works as a short order cook and Marilynn takes orders...   all because they knew the truth behind...

I hope this helps. As you see, this is still a huge mystery.

right click on the cc3 Izyum3 (I think, the one with the orthidox church) map on the crypt and see what element it is.   coded in by the creators of the original cc3
