To Buy or Not to Buy

About 8 months ago, I purchased campaign series AGAIN from NWS.
Now Matrix will make all of them (maybe not divided ground) again.
To buy or not to buy...
I hope they provide me with reasons why gamers who purchased the game recently might be interested in buying the series again the matrix version.
So far not much information on this..
And do you know when this gem will be rereleased?

Top of my head their gonna have to do at least a little something more beyond a straight re release. But I'm guessing it will take a while to figure out what that might be. For me they would at least have to add in something like the user mods for thew games. The main thing I want to see is an expanded Divided Ground for Europe and Vietnam with the helicopters fixed. I'd buy the game 2x to get each of those. But I would not re buy any of the games to just get changes in the graphics which is what some guys seem to want the most. So who knows? I'm guessing no matter what they do it will take some time. Even if they just pull the user mods off the web there are a few problems with those like the up hill movement cost thing in DGVN and the Europe one though all the graphics for them are in the can.

Likewise. I'm very interested to see what they actually do do - I really enjoyed these games and it wouldn't take much extra content to justify a purchase, but at the end of the day I do already own all of them, all run under XP, and it will need at least something significant to part me from my cash. That said, I think the "Talonsoft" project is aimed mostly at those who didn't buy the games before, or maybe just one or two. TAOW seems to be about the only exception to that, and as there were several versions of that anyway creating a final "definitive" one seems a good idea for both old and new players.
