Old CC series player looking to come back

Post by Hellmut34 »

Hi guys ,

i was just wondering if the cross of iron game is a less linear experience with better AI than the original cc3.

I loved the series and was looking to by it for both my brother and myself.

How does the game fare online?

Many thanks

German Soldiers clan?
Germany's unforgivable crime before the Second World War was her attempt to extricate her economy from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit.

More stable than the original in my opinion......

The mods are being converted as well....some already are.

Coi Has a new Grand Campaign with all new maps in addition to the original CCIII GC.

The campaign is linear.

The Ai is tweaked and most ppl have noticed the difference, enriching gaming experience.

It plays much better on modern PC's than CCIII.

Damn i wish that it had the campaign map like CCV
 
i will rethink, maybe i will stick with modded CCV (new mod for stalingrad looks good)
 
I loved CC3 but hated the fact that we were taken down a road to an inevitable conclusion, i would have loved to have been given the chance to play it so that the germans could win
