  1. I missed out on CMSF since I own a mac. I enjoyed CMX1 greatly but I have found CMBN to be more immersive and a hell of a lot more fun.

    I just started a pbem in the demo with my brother in addition to a few others I have going in the demo and full version. I believe he is now talking on purchasing it soon.

    It took me about 5 minutes to get used to the interface. I also use the keyboard for camera controls and find them to work nicely. My brother who only has dabbled in the cmx1 games has picked up on the UI pretty quickly too.

    It will be hard to play any of the CMx1 games again. But I think that will be a good thing.

    I can't wait to get some snow in this game but I have plenty to occupy me right now with all these hedgerows.

    This is the game of the year for me.

  2. I am for WEGO. I mean to play plenty of pbems and I need all the practice I can get. I also usually watch turns at least 2 times to see things on different ends of the battlefield. Like a good commander I take the time to know my guys.

    I've played some rt against my brother and its fun.

    Wish there was LAN wego but I'm fine with mailing turns.

  3. This game takes up all of my free time now.

    The campaigns are exciting. I didn't get to try SF as I have been a Mac guy for a while now. I always feel that I have lost more men than I really have. Maybe its because when I see a spot littered with bodies I'm still thinking its the larry, curly, moe representation.

    After a few days of playing, I think I am starting to get a hang of this bocage situation and am enjoying. I've had some devastating close combat go on. There really is no better feeling than flanking some germans and catching them in an open field.

  4. If you do want CM2 to look more like CM1, why not just play CM1 ? Just kidding.

    I much prefer the new style of interface, being a bit more fuzzy adds to the realism to my mind, if a unit is out of contact it is not instantly apparent just like the real world.

    Grided terrain might be useful but I would rather be able to print out a map in topographic map style and have it as a reference rather than see it on the on-screen terrain.

    I agree that the fuzzyness adds greatly to the game. I've had some awesome battles that might not have been as fun if it was a cm1 game.

    I don't think the command lines are needed much. I really haven't missed them in the least.

  5. I have been having a blast with the demo.

    I never played any of the CMSF as I am now a mac user.

    its good to be back in Normandy.

    Time sure has passed, I was just a young teen when the CMBO beta demo was released.

    I'm just happy it runs on my computer and so I went and put my order in.

    I look forward to getting destroyed by all of you once the full game is out.
