What makes up the game:
What was added with CMSF Marines:
1. New vehicles.
2. Marines.
3. New weapons.
4. New maps.
5. New scenarios.
6. A new campaign.
The new campaign was actually a broken campaign that was not fixed for months. I must have missed the official apology for that.

I've been using Steam for years across several PCs- since Half Life 2 - no issues for me and it keeps improving. They also have some great weekend deals. I wish all my games were on it - the updating mechanism makes my life easier.

Chainsaw,
What do you expect from a nation that insists that Armor is spelled Armour, Maneuver is spelled Manoeuvre
Hey blame the French not us!
French noun manoeuvre and verb manoeuvrer.

I would guess the link to the HelpDesk is so you can raise a ticket. That would be a way of circumventing possible email issues.

Cid250 wlll be so pleased you listened to him.

You could use tilt to get your armour moving.

Any fix to the USMC campaign which has been broken since release months ago?
-
Yep another lost sale here. WW1 Naval is one of my favourites but I would not touch this type of DRM. What the hell were they thinking.
-
You have to cut BFC some slack.
I've been doing that for a long time. Why should I do it for ever? When will the the USMC campaign be fixed? Where was the quick patch to fix it? In this thread a beta tester said it would be fixed quickly - that was October 14th. It's still for sale and it's still broken.
-
I think it's been long enough guys. Paid my money in October for this. Patience and goodwill starting to wear a little thin now. It would be nice to have the ability to play the Marines campaign to a proper conclusion. If it's taking this long to fix the campaign why was it released in the first place? Since the initial release of CMSF I've spent more time waiting for patches than actually playing. I've given up on 1.10 because the vehicle pathing drives me crazy. I'm eagerly waiting the Brit module. But rationally I'm starting to wonder why you deserve that from me. It's not good enough to say it will be ready when it's ready. My money was ready at launch for USMC and I expect a quicker fix for a defective product. How can it take 2 months to fix the Marines campaign? Where are the info updates on progress and eta for those who have bought it and would like to finish it?
-
Otherwise, a lot of Americans just aren't going to buy it.
Curse them. They'll be ruining our tea next.

Still on the tutorials - lots of buttons to remember - seems good so far. The Matilda is a slow beast to drive though - can barely make it up any incline. The sounds are great and the visuals are good. Moving on to guns next :-)

I ordered Steel Fury earlier this week and it arrived today!
-
30+ hours in with no issues on my PC version - not one crash.
Playing in first person mode does have it's disadvantages. Sold mu Combat armour by mistake without realising it. Fighting through a Raider base I kept thinking these guys are tough - switched into third person view to find I was fighting them in my underwear!
-
I had to backtrack a couple of hours to an earlier save to get rid of the Bloody Mess perk - too much for me!
-
Thought it was OK until I blew the Overseers head off. I've been smiling ever since. Very addictive. Played for 6 hours last night.

Agreed - the campaign overview here:
http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=209&Itemid=307
implies 4 more battles. Anybody know what the different colours on that link signify?
-
lol...that surprised me to. I had no idea that was the last battle.
-
In that last scenario I began with two tanks, one which had no targeting system. One quickly got immobilized and operated as stationary piece. Luckily it was a good spot. With only one moving tank, the TOW humvees came into their own. They tore the crap out of the counter-attacking Syrian force. Ended the battle with no TOWs left, and only 1-2 rounds of AP on the tanks. Whew!
No tanks, one TOW humvee with no ammo. My two Javelin teams were busy boys! Ran out of Javelins. The last T72 had it's track blown off by grenades as it threatened to run amok. That squad deserved medals. Posthumously I'm afraid.
-
Finished the Marines campaign last night with a minor victory. Tactial defeat in the last battle. Who ever designed "Debouche to Disaster" deserves a place in hell.
No spoilers but that was a humdinger! Survival became my target. Some very memorable events occurred throughout the campaign. Thanks to all the campaign builders for their efforts.
-
Mission 2: Great map but no Syrian Army at all! I spend 45 minutes of my life to manoeuver my army against 5(!!!) syrians on the whole map! What is this? Please!
You were lucky! Playing the updated campaign I had but 3 Syrians in the second mission

Where does it crash? If it's on the loading bar then it might be worth leaving it running for a while longer. I've often thought my game has crashed here as it sometimes takes an age to load.

Similar problem on Pooh and Milk Run as you guys. Terrible slow down and several "Out of Memory" crashes. Never had any issues as bad as this in earlier versions of the game. This version is the first it has ever crashed for me. Reducing settings lower has no effect in reducing the problems. very frustrating. Anybody looking into this?

I play Elite level. If the AI has longer waits for artillery arrival (similar to the player) at the higher levels - then does it mean it also has more chance to lose the target and thus cancel the mission? Does playing Elite mean the enemy AI artillery is actually easier to play against than lower levels?
