Good Game

Close Combat: Gateway to Caen is the latest release in the critically-acclaimed Close Combat series and focuses on the largest, concentrated British offensive since the Normandy landings in an attempt to penetrate the German lines west of Caen and cross the Odon River to get the stalled advance moving again.

Good Game

Post by Kanov »

Playing vs the AI and with only a day left on the campaign I think I can say that it has been pretty good experience. Only had one crash near the start of the campaign.

It is a good challenge overall going against all those heavy german BG and all those MG42.

It got pretty exciting near the end after I figured out what BG's could merge in a way so that tank platoons were kept in the frontline.

The maps are very well done as are the vehicles and the explosions. I prefer the old burning element animation though, now it looks too cartoony.

I have expressed in other posts what I like and things that I think could be changed for better, so I will not repeat them here.

Just wanted to say I had fun.

Just a warning in case you try to play the game multiplayer, you'll probably NOT have a good experience because it's virtually impossible to connect to an opponent because of apparent bug(s) in the multiplayer lobby.

Hi Jonathan,
I imagine you also had trouble this afternoon? Guess something was wrong with the servers because I also had troubles.
Wasn't the case last week so I hope they fix it.

I too have had my share of problems with online games. They say you've got to open the port 1944 but the modem my isp handed me doesnt allow for meddling with opening ports.
