OK, and I forgot that their is another CMFB module as well. So modules for CMRT, CMBS, CMFB and SF2...I wonder roughly how long for those, and then what? My concern is that these 4 modules will take another 3-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I've heard of no plans for another Shock Force 2 module. Did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I'm not sure that I have either--I don't even have SF2--I think I just assumed one, since it is the newest game. Sorry if I got you all excited!

benpark Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 After the CMFI module is the one thing you need to focus on. No dates are given for all the same reasons Steve has always stated. So make up your own, it doesn't matter. It's done when it is done, and when it can be done. This has been said ad infinitum. The song remains the same.

The song remains the same. Indeed. But given that we've been waiting for this module for more than five years, the last status update was almost fifteen months ago, and the main milestones noted in that post (release of SF2 & R2V) have now been achieved, I don't think that it is unreasonable to request a revised estimate. And maybe it is just me, but frankly I find the "make up your own, it doesn't matter" response a little disrespectful to long-time Battlefront supporters and fans.

IMO they are just milking the tiny fanbase and keep it somewhat on life support with empty promises and when the shop turns permanently cashflow negative, the shop will be closed and you will hear: sorry folks, after such a long time it's time to move on. And the fanboys will believe that, too and say "THANK YOU!" for betraying and lying to us for years. If you only play one game, it may seem a long time between Christmases, but CMSF came out in 2007 and in that time we've had: CMSF, + 3 modules CMBN, + 3 modules and a pack CMFI, + 1 module CMRT CMBS CMSF2 (that's been loads of fun!) ...plus 2 more modules on the way apparently quite soon. That's 14 games and modules in 12 years, plus 3 upgrades. That doesn't seem too bad. I've had plenty to play with, although I'm looking forward to the next 2 modules. I mean - I could wish for more, and there have been some quiet spells, but all up it's still kept me more engaged by far than an any game I've ever played.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Seconded.....For a small outfit, BF do a fine job. BF customer service is absolutely second to none. How much more do you really expect them to be able to do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, all that I have specifically asked them to do (actually I only seconded Aragorn's request) is to provide a revised release estimate for the CMRT module. And yes, I expect them to be able to do that at this point. More broadly, Freyberg is correct that there have been a fair number of releases since SF was released...unfortunately I have zero interest in modern warfare so have not bought CMBS or SF2. I have bought most of the WWII content to support Battlefront, but don't actually play anything other than CMRT. Although by now I don't really play CMRT either...the fact is that in my view, there just isn't five year's worth of play in CMRT. With a limited number of formations/vehicles, no snow, etc., it has gone a bit stale. I'm not really complaining about value-for-money--I would have happily bought all the East Front content that Battlefront brought out--but there has simply been nothing to buy. And as stated previously, I am a bit disappointed that when the CMRT module does finally come out, it seems that it will mainly consist of late-war content recycled from other games/modules. I'll certainly buy it, but won't be as excited as I would have liked. So that's it. I understand that Battlefront has a business to run, so I'm not angry, I'm not bitter, but admit to being disappointed, and wish that Battlefront could figure out a way to outsource more (Models? Art? Maps?) to allow them to create more content, more quickly. At this point, however, for whatever reason this does not appear likely, so I guess I'll have to find another way to get my East Front fix. Maybe I'm alone in these opinions, but the fact that this subforum is so dead suggests that I am not, and that many players have moved on by now.
