Just to expand on the World of Warcraft example, an entire zone (Silithus) was completely empty for 6 months (or more) after release. And that is probably the highest income game on the planet right now. I played CMSF for a few scenarios and there are problems, but nothing that is game breaking. I am perfectly happy to wait a couple weeks for another patch before I get too involved. In the mean time I'll try to simulate CM style missions in ARMA except from a different POV.

I am. Without unhappy people we wouldn't get cool links to things like Mr. Period that Becket linked. :cool:

My bro used to drive a Buffalo in Iraq that seeks out IEDs along the roads. I saw some videos of them and they are pretty nasty. The simple fact that most of them are triggered by what appears to be civilians makes them much nastier than land mines that are triggered by a mechanical device. I was amazed by all the gadgets the army uses to detect IED's. I was hoping to play around with some of those in CMSF, but I guess it would be overkill considering that IEDs are a pretty minor part of CMSF. It still puts a big grin on my face every time I find one in the game.

Boom, you do realize that Sergei has over 10000 posts on these forums here? I think it would be logical to assume that he might know a thing or two about Wargames. This is the funniest thread I've read all day.

Performance on my system is great. I don't know what all the fuss is about. A pause-and-go game like this doesn't need the FPS of a FPS (damn overlapping acronyms!). Is there any way to adjust the level of detail system? The trenches in particular would be nice to see from a bit further away. It drives me nuts that I can't see enemy units in their trenches without zooming in so close that I can see pimples on their faces.
