    It still is not working for me. Everything shows activated except SF1. The screen says activation success and shows this. I hit "Play" and after a delay I get a splash screen. Now all I did was try the Marine bundle again. Do I need to go thru all of them once more? Also I know I did not make a typo on my email address. I expressly checked that it was correct, plus I submitted it twice and checked both times,and it is not a different one. I also checked my spam and there is no response there either.  My email address is ###. My log in works to access my account and see all my orders, but I can not log in to see status of ticket. Also when I try to get a link to reset my password in order to access ticket status it says link sent, but nothing arrives. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from John. Thanks.

    I had a similar issue:  I was loading the key from the SF2 Big Bundle Upgrade, then the key from SF1 "big bundle" (USMC, UK, NATO).  The game would launch, but stick on the splash screen.  Once I entered the original SF1 base game key, all was well.  Poked around in a few scenarios and campaigns, and everything is running smoothly.

    I start 2 weeks vacation on the 14th, looking forward to sinking my teeth into this game.

    Also - to the development team, thanks for your hard work, and thanks to Battlefront for the discount!

    Ambush - no spoilers

    In full agreement.  I'm playing thru the scenarios in ascending order of size, and this one is my favorite so far by a large margin (and there are several excellent scenarios, and no duds yet).

     

    I rate this one up there with 3:10 to Yuma, one of my favorite scenarios in the CM series.

     

    Great work!

    First Impressions (General)

    in Combat Mission Black Sea

    Posted

    My download took <30 min.  My first impression is . . . damnation, I forgot you can't linger AT ALL in the modern battlefield or you'll be wiped out.  I got too used to those long waits for arty (that isn't pre-planned) playing the WWII versions. My quiet August Morning wasn't so quiet.   :P

     

    I've just scratched the surface, but so far very pleased.  I'm glad we had planned a quiet weekend at home.

    CM: Shock Force 2 Wish List

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    "Shock Force 2" is not the right title for the new game. Following the logic of our Families Shock Force = arid setting in Syria, so we need something new to call this particular flavor of temperate modern warfare. Black Sea is the development name. No idea what the actual name will be, but it's good enough for now :D

    Note that we do intend to redo the original Shock Force content. It's going to be a huge undertaking because of all the changes that have taken place since the original engine was made. Same reason there's been no Upgrade offer for it. We would if we could, but the amount of work that needs to go into that is almost as if we're doing it from scratch. That game will be called Shock Force 2 and it will follow Black Sea.

    In case you didn't see this over on the CMBN forum. :)

    The start of actual news

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Completely agreed. Its a shame what my generation has turned out to be, most of my friends who play games like men of war, COH, and total war don't understand games like CM, they all try to blitz through scenarios and get all their men killed. Don't have the patience or thinking like you said. BUT not everyone is like that, maybe i'm different because i was introduced to CM at a very young age and i have enjoyed history for as long as i can remember.

    Well said. I've gotten my 11 year old son into CMSF. The WWII games don't appeal to him, but the modern titles do. Like you say, he tried to bull his way through like it was an XBox strategy game, but is learning. There is hope.

    It's also nice for my ego to beat him soundly after being dominated for countless hours playing Halo w/him & his friends.
