LEAVE 1.04 ALONE !

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Thanks Umbro for your technical reply but I repeat my heartfelt original request.

Please leave 1.04 alone for developers to add to and players to enjoy

We are already split into 2 incompatible versions of Matrix:-
Matrix 2 (the original) for those who cannot or do not want to load 1.04
Matrix 1.04 with major additions and improvements but a huge download

Let's not go back to the bad old days which I described in my first post on this subject !.
I'm not against progress which must come but as Jason and his colleagues have breathed fresh life into our great 11 year old game let's not split it up and kill it again!!

Actually we are in three groups?
1)Those who want to play version 1.04 without extreme assault or variable visibility. Basicly, version 1.02 with hidden and new units?
2)Those who want to play version 1.04 with extreme assault and/or not with variable visibility.
3)Those who want to play with a changed assault rule that was less drastic as the one released in version 1.04. Those who believe that a 25% lucky die roll by the game engine can make heroes out of truck drivers and that a handfull of disrupted, out of supply, soldiers hold out against the might of armies because they are in a building.
Those that believe that something "in between" would have been better overall, simply by not having the choice between the two? Just being the one available. :chin:

And, maybe a fourth group of those who cannot afford to purchase the new 1.04 (or do not want to purchase it) who are willing to find opponents who play the Matrix-CS original release?

I'm honestly not about a small group of developers trying to change the game, or give us a new game, that (in your words) may not be one that all players can "enjoy".
And, it seems that all players still interested in the current game were ones who played the old version over many years? That fact was/is the foundation of many of my opinions since the version 1.03 changes to the game engine? :smoke:
The fracture is here. The repair awaits.
I play both opponents who wish to play using version 1.04 with extreme assault or those who want version 1.04 without it. Personally, I will not play either style with variable visibility turned on. But, that is just me.
