acctingman Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Sorry Newb poster who didn't find anything scouring the posts here or any luck using the "search" function. Just wondering why there is no Combat Mission for the Pacific Theater? Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The CMx1 series was getting a bit "long in the tooth" and the developers never really got around to all the possible planned games. By the time CMAK had come out they were pretty frustrated with the code and the sales of the series had declined significantly (which was expected). Thus they started work on a new engine, of which CMSF is the first incarnation. Steve has admitted in the past that he didn't have a whole lot of desire to develop a game based on the Pacific war. It really wasn't in his interests (personally) and he probably thought that the sales of an assault-oriented, primarily infantry game wouldn't be as good as those with significant armor in them. Of course many people disagree and there are different theaters within the Pacific war that were tactically different from the island-hopping campaigns so many Americans are familiar with. Still, the desire wasn't really there to develop a game based on the Pacific war. One thing to note with the mods. They will give you a different graphical feel, but they will NOT modify the underlying characteristics of what you're working with. A Japanese Type 99 machine gun is going to have an unrealistic rate of fire AND be shooting a heavier round than it did in reality since the mod will replace a MG34/42 with the Type 99, etc. So the mods will give you the graphical appearance, but will lack quite a few other things to make it much more accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acctingman Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks for that info. I'll pick up the series as they look like exactly what I need right now. I'll find something else for the Pacific Theater. Might just get the all-in-one WiTP:AE 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
