Really, Kettler?
Is it really necessary to make every thread about you? Is it really necessary to pollute every thread with your facile "analysis"? Is it really necessary to vomit up yet another worthless collection of googled links?
Really?
I remember a when i really started getting active on this form after getting CMFI I thought this was a great community, but lately I think alot of the older guys here are turning sour.. Everyone just needs to chill out and wait for CMFB
-
I'm pretty sure the best someone from Battlefront has promised about Brazil is a "solid maybe".
Doesnt really matter I dont care about Brazil (no offense) would much rather see Hungarians
-
BF also adapts based on changing circumstances and new info. What they may or may not have said doesn't mean they absolutely will or won't. We can always keep asking, it doesn't hurt. Hungarian at least gets my vote. I'd love Romanians too, but if I have to choose.....
Yeah i would rather see Hungarians also, but I feel like Romanians would be fun too
-
Do a search on forum posts then. Do you think I made up that reply out of thin air?
They are adding Brazil, because it's a very easy thing to do.
If you say so.
I am sure he said it buti call BS they wont do it.. It just makes sense and Hungarians would be a total selling point I would pay like 75 bucks for that lol
-
Don't forget, by then she'll be entering her "Terrible Two's".
At which point, you may have priorities other than surviving a "virtual" enemy.
You'll be trying to survive a very real threat: The Terrible Two's.
Haha I have a 2 year old son right now. Hes is pretty well behaved
-
Steve said long ago they have no desire to model such marginal forces again.
I call BS on that! They are adding Brazil to CMFI. If they are adding Brazil they can add Romanians and Hungarians. Luke you are so negative

I would have thought ARMA was the better FPS equivalent of CM?
no arma is more like graviteam tactics. with its clunkyness
-
Wow, I didn't even know that. It's been a long time since I played PR. Will definitely keep an eye on it. PR was pretty much the first person shooter equivalent of Combat Mission
Yeah except 90% of SLs are -2 leader ship conscript fanatics
-
I dont really care about the new website.. If thats really what they are waiting on I am slightly annoyed I was hopping this would be out before my daughter is born. I guess i shouldnt worry though she will most likely be two by the time BFC gets this game out
-
Speaking of playing other games, is anyone playing Squad? Its a new tactical team shooter with an emphasis on realism through communication and combined arms, right now we have Russia, US, Militia (eastern European) and finally the Taliban. The British army is on the way and vehicles should be out shortly, its a lot of fun and condenses everything good about ARMA into a nice 50 v 50 package.
If anybody has it shoot me a message and maybe we can get a Combat Mission/Battlefront Squad going!
Yeah I have been playing squad on and off with some friends got about 120 hours in it so far.. Its promising
-
Too funny, BP.
So if I understand you correctly, what you're saying is Final Blitzkrieg won't be released tomorrow?
No he is saying it takes battlefront games forever to release. Its like ordering something online but not having a tracking number so everyday you check, but its not there and it drives you crazy
-
"Of course, customer whining and wishes are not directly transferred to sale and BFC probably knows that better. There is already CMAK done so no point in reasoning if BFC can do it or was wishing to do it (wishes again)."
There is plenty reason for revisiting it. There are quite a few on this forum including myself that didnt play CMx1 and compared to CMx2 Cmx1 is utter trash.. I am sure it was great in 2003, but for me it is unplayable.. So i would love to see North Africa.. Also Bagration, battle of the bulge, and Normandy were all covered in CMx1 games does that mean we didnt need to see them again?
-
I just played some CMBS after a long break and it was worth it. I hope that BS gets some modules/DLC/whatever after CM:FB.
They have said the next thing after CMFB will be the new CMFI module. They also said the first module for CMBS would add Marines, VDV, and Naval Infantry
-
This is the only CMx2 game i dont own it sounds really fun, but the fact that battlefront didnt make it is a bit off putting also I DLed the demo and it doesnt look anything like the screen shots or Shock Force.. It looks really glossy and weird is this just because the demo isnt patched? Or is it because the other devs didnt do a good job? Is it worth getting?
-
Yeah I loved CMBS at first I played the crap out of it and have done about 15-20 PBEMs, but it just got old compared to WW2 the weapons are so lethal I find having massive amounts of armor or APCs just to be a burden also over half of the Scenarios are blue only or best played as blue.. Which is annoying as Russia is way more interesting than the US
-
In principle a very nice scenario but with one big problem: some defending forces are placed not according to tactical considerations, but purely due to game mechanic LOS/LOF restrictions and a very unrealistic timeframe is meant to create problems for the attacker.
Instead of using time so often in scenarios to create tension and also allowing a massacre of the own forces and still win gloriously, why not decrease the allowed casualty thresholds dramatically to realistic levels and get rid of this awful time pressure?
What about offering two versions of scenarios? One gamey version for the kids and one for us real men?
I was able to win as the Italians with 10 min left which is plenty of time.. Maybe dont move like molasses
-
Fortress Italy

You don't think North West Africa has a lot of good candidates for CM?
You don't think a wide range of situations and forces is important from a the point of view of a scenario designer who needs to make a variety of scenarios?
You don't think there were any interesting battles in North Africa?
You don't think the terrain tiles are mostly already done?
You don't think the vehicle and man models would, in a module or three, also be mostly already done?
You don't think BFC have a track record of making good stuff?
That's a lot to disagree with in one unsupported assertion, buddy. Your post reminds me of this.
I think he was disagrees with North Africa doesnt suite CM. No need to get your knickers in a twist man
-
CMFI is the best in my opinion also CMFI with the Gustav line has wayyyyy more content than Red Thunder You would be missing out if you didnt get CMFI
-
You worry to much man
CM1x was great and CM2x is better why wouldn't CM3x be even better? I know there are no guarantees but these guys are doing a damn find job making better and better games IMHO.
Mind you I agree they can keep going with CM2x engine for the foreseeable future as far as I am concerned.
Well I read there was a alot of hate for CMx2 when shock force first released.. I guess that is what I am worried about and I played CMx1 after CMx2 so by comparison it is super primitive.
-
Michael, you're absolutely right in your recollection. My wild speculation is based on nothing more than the fact that prior to this Battlefront was turning out a new base game or module about every six months. It's now been a year since Black Sea and the slow down seems surprising to me. So that and the fact that the current engine is aging leads to my guess. I have nothing to lose by guessing so it comes easy. Should I be right however I doubt even the Beta testers would know at this point.
I think they will ride CMx2 as long as possible which is fine by me I love the way it looks =D and after playing a few scenarios for CMBB and CMAK i appreciate CMx2 so much! I am worried CMx3 wont be as good
-
Please... Don't Kill Buzz ... before his "Final Blitzkrieg"
Buzz
Lol wouldnt that be a shame
-
Please battlefront can we have Romanians and Hungarians in one of the eastern front games? I bought CMBB and they have such cool stuff it would practically be a wet dream come true to see them in CMx2... You did Italians for CMFI so i have hope that we will see them one day maybe even Italians on the eastern front
-
How about we keep this thread about CMFB and not Total War?
Why no new updates might as well close the thread. Dont be a buzz kill
