Had a lot of fun playing this campaign; my only criticism is that it was too easy. I think dropping the quality of the troops is a great idea, the current set up doesn't punish mistakes, so I got to rush the missions and I'm sure didn't appreciate all that was on offer. Highly recommended as an "intro", looking forward to more!

I understand, I don't think there is anything wrong with a supply/demand model. All I am saying is that it is beyond what I am prepared to pay, I'll wait to see if the price drops to my line-in-the-sand eventually

I can understand the cost of shipping this to Europe with all the additional costs, but I am really hard pressed to fork over $60 for digital download (or even $55 for that matter). It's more of a stand I have against game manufacturers pushing the $49.99 boundary ever since consoles came about, and has nothing to do with Battlefront at all, but $60 before S&H, no thanks.

Very few shops carry stock of 30", they are usually IPS panels, and very expensive compared to the 'mainstream' 24" TN panels (1920x1080 or 1920x1200) - think $1,500+ USD. They are available on dell / HP / samsung websites. Also, about 5-7 years ago 27 - 30" monitors were more popular then they disappeared from supply for a while, I assume there just wasn't demand. The focus on the market seemed the 19-24" inch range (1080p), however they are starting to come back to popularity - I assume because now the machines can start pushing decent framerates at that resolution.

I was a big fan of CM:BB and CM:AK. I initially tried the CM:SF demo when it first came out, but I hated the engine, and couldn't get into the theater either. Haven't played a round of CM since, until now. I assume the engine was refined, I wish I had tried again because whatever it is, it feels great in Normandy! I thrashed through 30 min of game time as quick as possible before I had to head out to work this morning. Was I surprised when my troops didn't stop running after the first 60 seconds! Had some minor issues with needing to learn the hotkeys; read the manual stuff, but this has me very excited. Will probably pick away at the demo until the price comes down a little; I refuse to pay $60 for any PC game ever since consoles started the trend. Not that this isn't worth it, just a matter of principle
