[Where to find human opponents ?]

Back in the days of the original CM games, the reason I loved them was playing against human opponents... Since that was so many years ago, I've lost all my contacts so I'm asking here what are some good places to find people for tcp/ip and pbem games ?

Looking at my gmail account... Played my last PBEM CMBB game in July 2006. Have run up CMBB once in a while since then. I think I pre-ordered CMBO, still got the CD to hand near my PC at home. I've managed to keep the same setup migrating through 3 or 4 PCs since then. Still has dozens of batch files in the root directory for swapping out vehicle skins and few choice screen shots.

Fond memories.

Hopefully CMBN will have as awesome PBEM scene as CMx1 games had, or maybe they still do ?

Long time player of BB and AK signing in. Tried SF, which was a huge disappointment, hopefully Battlefront can deliver CMBN!

[CM:SF worth buying now?]

As others have said try the demo. I personally don't think it's worth purchase because it has too many fundamental differences to the cmx1 games no patch is going to "fix" plus the setting doesn't really appeal to me at all.
