Some thoughts… CMSF1 was Great but CMSF2 is Awesome! Kudos to Battlefront and crew for bringing CMSF into Version 2.0 Game Engine 4.0. Feels like a new experience but with old friends. There is a healthy amount of old CMSF1 user made material available as well. I prefer modern warfare more than WW2. Since you own CMBS (one of my top favorites) you may consider WW2 to experience the differences. WW2 CM games are tremendous fun but slower … not as instantly lethal as Modern can be. WW2 CM are the most historically accurate games you can purchase. Test yourself in WW2 with authentic units and equipment and enjoy the results. CMBN BIG BUNDLE = The largest WW2 game available with the largest selection of user made scenarios campaigns mods. “I love bocage…reading a lot of WW2 warfare books” = You should consider CMBN. CMFI + Gustav Line BUNDLE = WW2 in a more open environment and mountains. Multi National forces makes for interesting mix of forces. CMRT = Red Thunder was a delightful surprise for me. I began to better understand the non US perspective on WW2. Impressive Large Battles. BFC’s description is accurate : “the hard fought Eastern Front battles of Bagration and Poland, from the swamps of Belarus to the gates of Warsaw during the summer of 1944. Experience the most balanced period of tactical warfare on the Eastern Front… most interesting ground combat of the entire war. ” CMFB = Final Blitzkrieg is a beautiful game … graphically and in units and equipment. As MikeyD correctly noted, “ fall & winter Northern Europe is quite picturesque.” BFC’s description is accurate : “The Ardennes, France, Germany, and Holland from October 1944 through the end of January 1945. Painstakingly researched and highly detailed combat equipment for the United States Army, German Heer, Waffen-SS, and Fallschirmjäger, includes well over 100 types of vehicles and dozens of small arms and heavy weapons.” My last Holiday comment based on the information you provided … Get the BIG WW2 enchilada” =CMBN BIG BUNDLE All forces, battles, and campaigns found in CMBN Base Game All forces, battles, and campaigns found in CMBN Commonwealth Forces Module All forces, battles, and campaigns found in CMBN Market Garden Module All new vehicles found in CMBN Vehicle Pack All forces, battles, and campaign found in CMBN Battle Pack 1 Hope this Helps you Ridaz. You will not be disappointed with any WW2 Combat Mission but when you tally up ALL the game in this CMBN big bundle… you will be playing WW2 for a long long long time with many days of FUN ahead. Buzz "Happy Holidays" Disclosure: My comments above are from playing the games for 16 years (even back in CMBO/BB/AK days). Think of game purchases with Battlefront as ‘investments’ in FUN & Happiness over years. Your initial game purchase is enhanced by the company’s commitment to maintaining and improving their products over years. Battlefront’s games won’t be abandoned next year. Access to user made scenarios, campaigns, mods, advice, etc. is an added value to their great products.

CMSF 2 Upgrade "Big Bundle" ... Purchased, Download, Installed, Follow instructions to Activate and Get Some ! Seamless.... another Happy Holidays from Battlefront. Thank you Battlefront, Steve, Charles and ALL those Elves who made CMSF 2 happen. You all hit the 10 ring again. Buzz

A LOT OF MarkEzra CMSF2 Quick Battle Maps is going to put a smile on many faces for a long... long time Thanks Mark Buzz

No YouTube video but it does look #1 great on the 15-inch MacBook Pro - Retina Display with True Tone with P3 color gamut AMD Radeon Pro 560X GPU (4GB GGDR5). Battlefront Combat Mission games look great on the Battlefront Combat Mission games. Retina Display: Default is 1680 X 1050 - “More Space” is 1920X1200. No problems. Games look great The AMD Radeon Pro 560X GPU (4GB GGDR5) feeds the external 27” - DELL P2715Q Display - 3840 x 2160 without any problems. Both displays can be open but I often close the laptop. I was kind of not expecting Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI cable to LG 55"LG OLED55B7A -55” to reach 3840 x 2160 … but it does … without any problems! No stuttering, flickering, etc.. I can even leave the Retina display open for other programs running. Audio along the HDMI cable to the Yamaha audio system … makes the games (and sound mods of full Battlefront Combat Mission games) so much nicer. (Thanks to all the Mod Lords for Battlefront) I also thought the MBP graphics was going to be wimpy but I was wrong for Battlefront Combat Mission games. Buzz

Previous Hackintosh had NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 4GB -3.9 GHz Intel i7-4770K - Windows 7 Pro. I was able to run all Battlefront Combat Mission games (own most all the CM titles) on DELL P2715Q Display - 3840 x 2160 with all the graphics setting set to best and never had any flickering issues. Unfortunately a ️lightning ️ strike killed the Hackintosh. No time to build another yet. The new 2018 MacBookPro - macOSMojave - 2.9 GHz Intel Core i9 (6 Cores) - Radeon Pro 560X 4096 MB is able to run able to run all Battlefront Combat Mission games... including the CM Shock Force 2 DEMO... on DELL P2715Q Display - 3840 x 2160 with all the graphics setting set to best with no flickering issues. The real fun time treat is playing Battlefront Combat Mission games on the LG OLED55B7A -55” Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI cable to LG 55" & Yamaha audio system is the best gaming experience I have ever had. Only get to play this way when Ms. Buzz is out of the house because the house shakes when the battle is underway Wth the 2018 MacBookPro laptop and the HUGE OLED 55" .... no flickering issues with Battlefront Combat Mission games including the CM Shock Force 2 DEMO Battlefront... Don't know what they are doing inside the engine improvements but whatever it is it is working for me. Buzz

Your Real Life example ... with 20 or so rounds still to impact is very sound reason to FALL BACK. You description regarding the game is what I experience as well....rounds already in the air that have yet to impact. Buzz

You should be fine Michael. If you are up to date on CPU etc. You shouldn't have any issues. Take it form a seasoned, Veteran - CM Mac Man Ultradave knows his Mac stuff. Buzz

In my experience ^ MikeyD has it spot on correct. On Mac side... Running H2H comparison = CM Shock Force 2 Demo (2018) is a much improved performance product vs. Mac CM Shock Force v1.32 (2012). Charles is always tinkering and whatever magic he has done shows on the Mac side... for me. Buzz

100% on board with this Mark... Looks Great Fall is a great time of year soon to be made better Don't have a Windows machine at hand to test right now but I suspect Blazing 88s has this correct. Have installed the CMSF 2 Mac Demo on machine that run macOSMojave v10.14, macOSHigh Sierra v10.13.6, back to ElCap v10.11.6 and CMSF 2 Mac Demo runs without problem. CMSF 2 Mac Demo plays and looks great on them all. Looks Fantastic comparing to the original CMSF 1 Excellent to get all the New Modern features in a Classic Battlefront game. Wow! With so much material developed for the orginal CMSF1 I am certian when the new and vastly improved, CMSF 2 full game launches it will keep Combat Mission players entertained for a long time. Looking forward to fighting the huge number of Golden scenarios campaigns in the vastly improved CMSF2 .... A great addition for Morden Warfare gaming. BTW: If you have not tried free demo of Combat Mission Black Sea... grab it as well and have fun. Tactical warfare at battalion and below scale in a true 3D environment has never been so much fun.... but now... with CMSF2 "version 2.00" on the way... Jeeeezzzz Can't wait to hook these games up the the 55" OLED TV & Audio system to "Get Some" X Thanks Mord... With the CMSF 2 full game launch I predict a flood of new modding will get underway... so much to look forward to. Thank You Battlefront Buzz

CMSF2 Big Bundle will be very, very appreciated and purchased as soon as Discounted Upgrades for CMSF1 owners is listed. Great News! Purchased Windows for BootCamp to play CMSF1 on the Mac > 10 years ago. Had so much fun with the game, all the great mods scenarios, etc. . As soon as the Mac CMSF1 Big Bundle was offered I purchased release day. What amazed me was how having ALL the services in the CMSF Big Bundle greatly enhanced the enjoyment and options of the game. So many possibilities with so many services, equipment, etc.. The CMSF2 Big Bundle is the way to go to have a New Modern Best Seller especially if you already own Black Sea (& Battle Pack)... New Modern Nirvana . Buzz PS: If the user created CMSF2 Scenario, Campaign, Mods development is anywhere close to CMSF1 ... CMSF2 will be battling for many years to come in CMSF2

Great Bud Looking forward to Rome to Victory module battle, details and updates. Should be an interesting International mix at this point of WWII. Buzz

You are spot on Mord That is a HUGE chunk of Fun Times. Big Face Buzz

+1 on movement reveals target...especially (for me) in thick wooded environment. Buzz

"The whole problem seems to be based on the fact that some states don't like what other states do with their people." I can help you. Heading off on the road soon so brief (respectfully) a quick response. Your comment in my bold above ... ^ illustrates you are missing a full and complete understanding of why nuclear deterrence is important for people / planet survival. Unlimited nuclear proliferation would allow any state, non-states, terror states, to develop, possess and use Weapons of Mass Destruction. Nuclear, Chemical Biological, etc. . WMDs. Please re read this... and understand why nuclear proliferation limits are in place.... NOT... because "some states don't like what other states do with their people." If WMDs are OK for anyone (developed or purchased) that can arm themselves with WMD weapons ... 'something the world would embrace' ... suggested proposed Wars of Thought, Education, Culture, detterence are (IMO) ineffective and impotent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Non-Proliferation_of_Nuclear_Weapons The world has a long way to go to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament... but it should be clear that allowing everyone / anyone to obtain nuclear weapons and use and weapons technology is a bad idea for people / planet survival. Buzz

Please re-review What Would War With North Korea Look Like? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05951pc Multiply this embrace of nuclear weapons and multiply non state / corrupt state actors reality(s) embrace of nuclear weapons Buzz

23 minute BBC Inquiry podcast that summed up the current situation rather clearly. What Would War With North Korea Look Like? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05951pc Sobering details from experts of what “miscalculations” could trigger a nuclear war. Horrifying prospects for any conflict. Buzz

?... A 10 year old game that many of us still enjoy... a lot is to be elevated to a more advanced "New Modern"?. A Win - Win for us all. Yes Happy Birthday CMSF. Buzz

CMSF Release today in 2007 ? 10 years and still going strong?... Buzz

Thank you snake eye for ALL you research and indefatigable, detailed map creation. Looks pretty amazing my friend?? Buzz

Map is looking great ? Buzz

My not knowing the secret handshake, condemned me perpetual darkness. All now lifted thanks to Wicky ? Looks tasty and will give this a go. Buzz

This CMSF2 BONE needs much further study... in detail. Buzz ... CMBS +++ and CMSF2! ???

? ? ? ? Buzz

Explodes quickly. Happens a lot in Black Sea but I enjoy all the New Modern equipment features especially playing Real Time ? Black Sea has the the Army mantra dialed in well in my opinion. Buzz
