    CC2 was a neat game, but I was too young and impatient at the time, and played with nearly all the handicaps on. I would want to play it again, but finding a new boxed copy or even used one would be a miracle.

    There was one cool thing about it. Every soldier had a name and a set of characteristics. They could also earn medals, but I didn't manage to get MoH with any of my soldiers. Maybe a few golden stars throughout the series.

    Theres generally a few copies on ebay for between 5 and 20 pounds (GBP) which is where I rediscovered it in 2008.
    Or you can download the whole game fo with a few google searches.

    Go straight to battle.

    Tips
    1. Use autoaim - when the enemy tank is highlighted, right click on it, the gun will automatically track them
    2. Use cruise control to keep moving, when your gun reloads hit space to stop, when you fire you will start moving again.
    3. Sometimes its better to retreat.
    4. If using artillery, hit control then right click on the minimap it allows you to use your artillery properly. Problem is that using shift often doesn't get you out of this view if the enemy tanks close on you. If that happens fight using the top down view.
    5. Hide hide hide.
    6. If you can see them and are shooting at them, their arty can probably see you.

    I think I wasted too much time in the training battles and also be careful of what tanks you buy.

    How do you take screenshots of games on Steam?

    It varies. There are general key bindings for screendump, but alot of games supplan them with different one. For example, Fallout: NV just uses the prnt screen button...


    ALSO: For those having issues with stuttering in GTA IV and or GTA IV: EFLC, try the memoryrestrict command lines(to be copy pasted into the dialog box under properties/launch options when you right click on the game in the steam client) posted on the GTA IV steam forums. It worked for me pretty well. There is still some slow down/microstuttering when the game is obviously loading/streaming, but overall stuttering is almost eliminated. I'm going to start it up again tomorrow to verify, but it looks like this really works.

    If its a source engine game then F5 is usually default, if its a 3rd party game it varies.

    If you want heavies go russian line to IS-7, if you want tank destroyers go german, if you want arty go russian, if you want light/medium go russian.

    Look up the game forum for GTA: IV on the Steam Forum. There should be a stickied topic on there where a guy from Rockstar explains about the memrestrict command lines, and lists a bunch of them. Pick the one that approximates your GPU's memory size the nearest and copy that. Now, go to your games list in the steam client, and right click ob GTA IV. Go to properties. One of the windows should have a option/button that says launch options. Open that, and paste the line you copied in there. Close it, start the game, see if it improves. If not, work your way down in the various command lines posted in that stickied topic until you get to one that alleviates the problem.

    Curiously enough, there seem to be two lines that go higher than the one for 1Gb+ GPU's. I'll try these out as well, see what happens.
