Heh, Sparx. There was a time when I used to say that
Anyway, was too lazy to look at the FAQ so thought I'd just ask. I am
not sure what to do with the file, so now I will proceed to check the
FAQ and see exactly what to do.

Well, after playing C2, the earlier commandos games became too
cumbersome for me But yeah, I think I'm gonna start on C2. I
remember I used to stay up till late at night, finishing mission after
mission on it. Sometimes till 6am too!

I played the Close Combat series a looooong time ago. I was too young
to fully appreciate the game, and I haven't given them a try since.
However, I want to get my hands on some of them and give them a try.
Everywhere I go, I only hear good things about them

Btw, Panzers is a great game It is very nicely made, the mission
briefings are really nice and the tactics are a LOT. Plus the graphics
are just soooo good

Heh, the previous games had a multiplayer mode too. I hope C4 has a
GOOD multiplayer mode so that we can do what you suggest

I keep talking to iakovos so I'll ask him if I don't find it in the
FAQ. He hasn't played C3 either (hehe).

Well, good to see some of you guys still hang around.
Most have gone.
And I still am wondering about the disappearance of Wouter.

No CBTCOD? Shame on you

I always wanted to see Sudden Strike (?)... does anyone have an opinion on
that one?
It has a WW2 background as well. Is it like Panzers?

Hopefully it will have an ingame editor as well. Look at the Halflife
community.

The Sudden Strike series were not that good, if the reviews are to be
believed. Go to gamespot.com and read the review there. Plus, it
doesn't look like a game that will appeal to me. Anyway, its totally
beaten by games such as Panzers, Blitzkrieg which are tremendous
graphically and gameplay wise.

I did play BEL and CBTCOD lots of times, before getting my hands on C2. C2
was a major improvement in the Commandos series. Too bad C3 did not follow
the formula exactly as it was.

But yeah, I think I'm gonna start on C2. I

I knew that with C2 I had to take my time, because of the scale of the
missions, their size and of course because I wanted to explore every aspect
in them. It was more like an adventure than a strategy game. And I loved it.

Sure, excellent idea. And I am always thinking about a mod tutorial as well.
We badly need one to get things going. I do want to create my old story
"Vodka Nights" into a full blown mission. I did create maps for it when I
wrote it.

> And I still am wondering about the disappearance of Wouter.

Yes, indeed. Where is the old rascal anyway?

Ok, thanks for the input. I am mainly interested in games commando-wise,
that's why I want to give Heroes of WW2 a go to see if it is any good.

Exactly. Before getting your hands on C2. I played those games too,
while waiting for C2...hehe...we used to have huge discussions in this
group, if you remember...
Though I think you were in the army at that time.

He has disappeared completely, with his hot sister Hehe...I
sometimes wonder, did he just make her up or was she for real?
LOL...maybe we will never know.
I have a friend who I used to play America's Army with who talks quite
like him. A lot like him. LOL...
Though he is from Slovenia...and Wouter was in the NL.
