Do I wanna dance?? Mmm...very strange. Sorry but when I'm given ultimatums I DONT back down -never have and I never will so... do your worst.
Actually didnt think my recent posts were pointless OR stilted but however.
Now lets see...the latest Collins Cobuild dictionary defines 'pointless' as being senseless, absurd, aimless, fruitless or futile. Now as both my posts were specifically refering to the new Combat Mission/ Strike Force game they can hardly be accused of not being to the point.
The same dictionary defines 'stilted' as being stiff, constrained, forced, unnatural and wooden. Now you can brand my recent postings as a lot of things but 'stilted' would not be one of them.
Anyway I'll say my piece now. This whole new CM/Strike Force thing will be a disaster. Battle'front' (yes, I got it right this time) are obviously going after the FPS teenage crowd who buy MOH & Call of Duty, either that or they ARE going after the US defence contracts. Either way they're ignoring their natural fan base and the result is going to be as predictable as it is sad. Like many other software developers in the past have done, they have come up with a first class product, in this case CMBO/BB/AK and then promptly forgotten what it is that made these games unique in the first place. Guys, wake up!...maybe you should consider why people like myself write (sometimes) passionate messages on this forum -- we LOVE these games dammit!! I can only go by what developers have done in the past but when they say something 'may be' included in the new game (ie. PBEM) its a safe bet to say it wont.
Second point - I've always detected a distinct whiff of sycohanticism in this forum and events recently since the announcement of CMSF have only confirmed this for me. Anyone that even hints of disagreeing with the management decsions of BF gets shot down in flames. Look over a lot of the recent posts if your unsure of this!
To the Battlefront forum old boys network...do yerselves and everyone else a favour and come over to where free speech is valued and true wargamers are honored - The Blitz.
Wait!...what is it?! Oh no! It cant be....yes it is..could it be a BAN (arghhhhhhh)
- falco.
