As a relative newcomer to both the game (learned about it in the September issue of PC Gamer) and these discussion boards, I, too, have been greatly disappointed with the postings over this long weekend. Look at the general topics that BTS had established: Combat Mission (general), CM- Scenario Talk, Tips and Techniques, and Tech Support. While those topics seem pretty straight forward, suddenly we're discussing "politics" on the general board, as well as Voodoo cards and other "bugs" (wouldn't those topics be appropriate in the Tech Support section?). I want to talk about THE GAME: things such as what we'd like to see in patches or future editions (I'd like to see a more detailed AAR after each campaign- see which squad or AFV was "Audie Murphy-like" over four or six missions). I'm sure many of the "old-timers" still have some incredible insight into what perhaps went into making the game. Sure, there are some clods out there, but it is simple to ignore those posts, but too many people do not and the issue blossoms into a free-for-all. Let's get back to what brought us all here in the first place: an incredibly fun-to-play, challenging strategy GAME. If you want to talk about that, then let's keep the boards alive.
