Close Combat - Last Stand at Arnhem

Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem is a highly enhanced new release of Close Combat, using the latest Close Combat engine with many additional improvements. Its design is based on the critically acclaimed Close Combat – A Bridge Too Far, originally developed by Atomic Games, as well as the more recent Close Combat: The Longest Day. This is the most ambitious and most improved of the new Close Combat releases, but along with all the enhancements it retains the same addicting tactical action found in the original titles! Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem comes with expanded force pools, reserve & static battlegroups, a troop point buying system, ferry and assault crossings, destructible bridges, static forces and much more! Also included in this rebuild are 60+ battles, operations and campaigns including a new enhanced Grand Campaign!

I watched the video and feel as an advertising tool it fell short, really short of its goal. I was hoping for more from it. I like the system so I will probably buy the game. Others may watch and not buy it based on the lackluster presentation.

My opinion of course.

===============================


i agree with blastpop. the video is/was somehow....lame. if i would not own the original CC2, i would not really be tempted by it. you can't make out much. what you can see is just the standard game procedure all CC games share. you can not see much of the new (unit) graphics (if there are any). non of the new features. would not use this video for advertising not even for showing off. for me it even falls short of being a proper video aar.

Well, considering that they showed off footage of the game, I'm not really sure what you guys would have preferred they display.

Most of the footage is black and white from the time. A few seconds is from the game.
 
A better movie would have 3 mins of black and white old footage and 5 mins from the game.  Say 15 x 20 second extracts of action from 15 different maps.
 
One would show a tank and armoured car in convoy driving in a straight line over a long distance!

Its a remake of a 10+ year old game and is from a series where the gameplay and graphics are generally the same. Yea I was a bit disappointed in the video but we all know what to expect.

The Black and White footage is the exact same opening of CC2, just much much clearer and less pixeled than the CC2 video(Also in the extras of CC2, there are videos of some of the weapons used)
