Same engine of CC Caen , not yet the 3D CC we waiting for (The Bloody First ... HYPE), BUT this CC, like all the other, it's awesome to play!.

CC Caen was with British, now you control American forces so the gameplay is also pretty different ( no more 17 pdr :( )

Considering the average steam game, the price is high, but this is a very niche series where you "play" with real history. The units, the maps, the battle order, the unit composition, everything is historical accurate so you are not only playing but also learning WWII military history.

It's like opening an Interactive Osprey book, and one Osprey book cost around £12, so as one enjoying Osprey books is not a problem to pay the price and support this series.

Obviously not a game for all, if you think to play this in a superficial way, without paying attention to the details put in to the game and you don't care about real history, then for you it may be just an old school overpriced 2D RTS.


cheers

Graviteam is very realisic. But their unituitive game design, and tons of bugs makes it impossible to play. I tried it too, but it sooo buggy its impossible to play.

@entropy: hey , I know Theater of War, but I found Graviteam Tactics better, maybe Graviteam right now is the most realistic RTS on the market.

The only problem it's a bit old school simulator, a bit cold, animations and sounds are not that good and it break a bit the atmosphere.

While CC, even if 2D , is able to keep me more in the WWII atmosphere.

The 3d CC you were waiting for is called Theatre of War and it's worth playing.
