Matrix Games Forums

This game was destroyed by bad/non "design document" /bad team.

Nobody understands what matrix is; It is a publishers (now defunct --see slitherine) not a game designer.

I would have liked western models.

And trust me: that's me.

Well if your preference is WW2 then Italy and Gustav Line is THE best in the CM2 series, with the latest innovations. Now to get this thread back on track: There is room for a new Panzer Command and I play them all. Just need a bit of a terrain graphic boost in the next rendition, I like the traditional squad as a whole feel for the Panzer Command games.

A graphics upgrade would have been great but for me the game just kept me from being immersed in it. One thing that is needed is for the grapics of the units to convey the condition of the units as the battle went on. It was not real easy to see, onscreen; units that were suppressed/damaged ect. without looking at the little icons off to the side. It felt like you were playing a board game. I know that there was more going on under the hood but the interface/information was given to the player in a manner that you had to quit "playing" and look at the information then resume "playing". I think that this would have been a great game for a traditional igougo chit type game, but it promised all this stuff that was such a nontraditional wargame but did not deliver. It was close, but just did not seem to get over the hump. The underlying game system is sound but somehow that got lost somwhere.

Maybe thinking there will be another game in the series was extreme wishful thinking.

Good Hunting.

To get another one they will have to bring back David Heath. Like they did Steve Jobs.

I wonder how many of you still play this game like I do? I recently play PZO regularly, and read through the manual to delve the historical notes. I find the game is still quite interesting to play. Quite sad, there is no further expansion pack in the near future.

I agree that it is unfortunate. I still enjoy playing it.

I still fire it up too.

Maybe not a new game but an add-on is the way to go?

Matrix gets some money and customers/owners get bug fixes, new enhancements/features and some new scenarios/vehicles???

I built a couple Polish tank models nearly two years ago for an add-on. Nothing after that.

PCO sits on my shelf in it's dust covered case since I bought soon after its release. I had played the PCK demo and I really liked the combat modelling for tanks (I always thought CM resulted in too many one shot destructions in armored duels). I installed and was never able to get the game to play at speed due to poor frame rate, although the demo played perfectly. I tried everything I could and eventually uninstalled-reinstalled; and then uninstalled forever.
