I was a pretty keen player of CMBO all those years ago (I still know those 3 demo maps stupidly well) but I hadn't played any CM for about 5 years.
CMBN has really rekindled my passion. The gfx are great, the new artillery system is really very impressive and I am loving the 1:1 stuff. Seeing my sherman in the demo accidently blowing up tree trunks and then the bridge (that my platoon were crossing) had me very happy for some reason. Contrary to expectations I am completely addicted to RT now (insert plea for replay in single player RT and pausible RT multiplayer), the higher speed of play whilst chaotic feels absolutely right.
Thank you.
