Matrix Games Forums

CC was the impetus for getting a PC way back when and it didn't disappoint, in fact I never got so much value out of a product (my CC3 CD, still have it) and now COI is giving me more enjoyment as I love me some Eastern Front action.

I may be playing this till the end, nothing has replaced nor do I believe ever will. But never say never. If it evolves my hope is it will retain it's wonderful top-down gameplay. The enhancements have made CC ever more playable.

Thanks to those who strive to make it CC what it is.

Have you checked out Wacht am Rhein and The Longest Day??

 Yes and suspect I will get around to them. But now I'm so wrapped around KV 1&2s, T-34s, and PPsh 41s in the snow [:)]

as owner of the original cc3 (just rediscovered it) one question:

me reading through the forum left me with a big?  where is the difference between the original cc3 and coi? what is the gain?
please do not misunderstand me, i loved and still love cc2 and cc3 but i could not find any reference in the forum from players perspective.

does not matter....i bought it again ..... loved it and i am sure i will love the matrix version too!
only missing one: CC2 ...just for the records [:D]

where is the difference between the original cc3 and coi? what is the gain?

Here are the three main differences:

1. New grand campaign with new maps

2. Units were adjusted for historicity. For example, the IS-3 tank and the German Rocket vehicle were removed. IMO, they didn't go far enough to make a realistic balance between the number of tanks and infantrymen. (Realistically, you should only have around 1 tank for every 50-60 soldiers, and most of those tanks should not be heavy tanks)

3. Massive Multiplayer CC III feature
