Matrix Games Forums

I have duly bought every CC since Cross of Iron, and I also enjoyed Modern Tactics. But in general, the improvements from game to game were pretty minimal, and I am not going to buy on release like I usually do.

Yes, the new game is 3D, but that means nothing to me without better game play, AI and the same modding capabilities as the other games. In addition to addressing the issues that long-time gamers have been talking about for years.

I am a 100% supporter of the franchise to the tune of several hundred dollars. But they can no longer squeeze any more out of the old game and engine, and I think new code and engine is beyond the scope of the developers. I hope I am proved wrong. [;)]

The Das Tactic video was disappointing. A Sherman tank missed a halftrack at damn near point blank. Took something like 6 or 7 shots. The AI is a concern.

yep, I saw like 4 or 5 situations on different gameplays where AT cannons and tanks missed ridicusly several times at short range (between 100 and 200 mts). Looks very very frustrating and unrealistic.

This is something we are looking into

I didn't find the game to look so overwhelmingly and a definite buy at least for me. I won't be purchasing unless there is a decent discount (not with a new release most likely). So for me now it's a no buy and if I ever buy from Matrix/Slitherine it will definitly be on Steam so I can refund if I don't like it with no problems or issues from Steam.
