Mishrae Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I've been recommended this game for months and finally got it today, I must say I love the setting and can't wait to be more active on here and pick up the other games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Repository (and CMMODS) are essential to regularly check out if one wants to enjoy the full CM immersion experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The point is it isn't happening (at least not with this customer). There is a certain mindset that wants players/customers to work hard for everything - "do your own research", "learn how to program so you can spend months designing your own scenarios" "ie: "do it yourself and do not expect to be spoonfed" etc. But that is exactly what most customers want. A biz is supposed to serve the customer and make life easy for them to enjoy its product, not make customers work harder for it. Simples... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Jack Ripper Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Maybe when Battlefront is solvent enough to employ a full-time community manager, then we might see such things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Should we do a useful links 'Sticky Thread' perhaps.....I'm hoping the old game will get more interest as news of CM:SF II starts to percolate around the web. There's a lot of truly great content for the game and much of it is leaps and bounds ahead of what shipped with the original. Ian - You really should buy CM:SF, for the price it's a steal if you get a bundle with the modules.....CM:A is still a great game too.

Glubokii Boy Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 There is this thread in the CMBS forum... It may not be perfectly placed...Newbies that are mostly intrested in WW2 may not look there for example... If it could be possible to make space for a NEWBIE RESOUCE, MUST READ, QUESTION - area (forum) at the top of the main CM forum screen (listing the various games)... That might perhaps be a good idea... This forum section would not necesarely have to have all that many treads...perhaps only some sticky ones...maybe something like... - newbie questions - Resources, guides - AARs I Think that something like this could be a good idea...Maybe some of the newbies hesitate to ask question if they feel they have to start a new thread every single time they have a simple question... Having newbie questions in a single (easy to find ) thread would be good imo... In the resource, guides thread the usual helpful links could be posted... Having they majority of the AARs from the various thread put in a single thread (or linked to) could also be good...Nice Reading for newbies... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian - You really should buy CM:SF, for the price it's a steal if you get a bundle with the modules.....CM:A is still a great game too. The activity here has picked up since the CMSF2 was announced. Honestly I never liked the idea of asymmetrical warfare. But I have to admit the conversation here is starting to win me over. I am still not pulling the trigger for two reasons - don't think I could stand the difference in features and UI and I know I will be annoyed with the licensing. That plus, I have more CM projects to do than I have time for already so adding a new game to the stable needs to be seamless not bump filled CMSF2 should fit that bill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Keep your eye open for @MOS:96B2P posts on the CM:SF UI.....He's come up with some brilliant workarounds that are actually better than the newer orders in some instances. The great thing about CM:SF is it's flexibility.....Asym/Uncon is my preferred style but full on tank-battles are equally doable. I've been contemplating doing something from the Ogaden war, maybe even Mali or Yemen, the possibilities are endless with all the modules. PS - A little patch to fix the 'Red Occupy' issue would be a very welcome teaser for the current CM:SF community.
