vincere Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Honestly, I find it more tactically viable for me to have *less* empathy for the pixel troops. I do more with them. Good point. But I enjoy the game more with my imagination engaged, even if I'm losing. WW2 does it for me too but overall not so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidFields Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Modern Warfare is like colonial warfare. When the US spends more on its military than....how many of the next countries combined? The last developed nation that fought a total war against an equally advanced nation was.....oh, give me something past WW2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any of you guys played the modern squad battles games (Korea to Soviet Afghan war)? They are great and I could see myself, from playing the Korean and Vietnam versions, drooling over a CM version of these wars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Rankorian, Modern Warfare is like colonial warfare. When the US spends more on its military than....how many of the next countries combined? The last developed nation that fought a total war against an equally advanced nation was.....oh, give me something past WW2.None, or they would have called it WWIII and we'd probably all be glowing in the dark But I don't understand what this has to do with tactical wargaming. When I'm in command of a Stryker Platoon in CM:SF I don't give a flying fig how much money was spent equipping my guys because a $5 RPG can rip through my rides pretty effectively if I don't pay attention to good tactics.

sonar Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 For me WW2 has the lot in gaming terms and the deeper we can delve into it, with the aid of a new engine say,the richer and more rewarding the experience will get. So for me I'm not bored with it at all in fact I can't wait to see what the real CM2 is going to be like [once Battlefront finish with this modern lopsided thingy,that there using to polish the new engine]. Chortle,chortle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
