Wow, you're such a kiss ass living in his own little sense of reality. Lemme just start my own game company to "show" Battlefront the error of thier ways and be accountable instead of voicing my opinion on a crappy product; your fantasy is so much more do-able. I don't know Michael Dorosh and he doesn't know me but I assume you do since I know he just like your "kind" have been recognizable around this community. I recognize you from being a loud mouth on the forums for basically the duration of it's existence and will continue to hide out here and be an ass. So there ya go, have the last word if you want that's what you live for. The thread lost it's point long ago once you got your fanboy panties in a knot. No point in continuing to trade words with the likes of you who lives his life hiding and insulting who you wish in a cyber world.

Get your head out of the clouds

I did more than adequate research including readig several bad reviews including one from Michael Dorosh and others who have played the series for over a decade like myself. I thought I'd be more satisfied but was mistaken. I can expect nothing more than responses your type of person gives being a regular lurker of these forums for over a decade.I responded instead of ignored Sgt Schultz as he posted a reply that was not at the least productive. There are many many people that shut up and stay off the forums, I made the conscience choice to come on and speak. You and your group of fanboys that lurk on the forums will ensure this game stays small, unheard of and unimproving. Meanwhile myself and many others will shut our mouths as you desire and take our money elsewhere. Battlefront will continue to remain a tiny niche company until they have no one left but you kiss butts.

WHOA fanboy alert. You been here posting for over 10 years or so I recall Mord, I can expect nothing more than you following behind my posts and flaming them. I won't congratulate Battlefront for a game they did poorly with and don't expect "positive" look at the bright side kind of attitude when I know my money wasn't spent wisely. If Battlefront can't take the critism for poor product and unhappy consumers giving them thier two cents then they should get out of the buisness. Thanks for tracking my posts Mord, I don't have the time to track your 2800 to see how WONDERFUL you feel Battlefront is.

Reading between the rants you can clearly see what I asked assistance with. Now take a breath, look around my post and see if you can understand what was said and contribute or at least relate.

This sounds do-able and something I'd be semi-satisfied with. Something I'm not quite clear on, actually a few things such as how do I make the core units file? This is explained in a very poor way in the lousy manual. Given how difficult it is to proceed at this point in making a campaign they really need to make a point by point explanation on how to get the initial build done. At this point I'm not sure if I need to make a .txt file and write code for the stupid game to figure out or if the game will just save the core units when I save the file I'm working on for the map. What they really needed or probably KNEW they should have done with the editor was build in the tools to accomplish what needs to be done instead of forcing the user to take such a frustrating route. 10 YEARS AGO THE CAMPAIGN EDITOR REQUIRED YOU TO MAKE .TXT FILES FOR BRIEFINGS AND INTRODUCTIONS AND IT WAS OLD THEN. It was ALSO way easier to understand, edit and complete back then; now the editor is confusing. You know I'm surprised that everyone here is not freaking out on this game in the forums; or maybe it has happened and I missed some of it since I just got the game. I mean... I play the demo and thought "I really need to get this game, it really is a great update to CMBO. I realize that it's only 3 months of the Normandy campaign and Common Weath, Polish forces etc aren't included but I guess I can live with that." Then I get the game download after purchase and first thought I have is: "wow, there's really not that many scenarios or campaigns; I'll have to make some!" "I played some of the campaigns already and have a poor opinion of them so I defeinaltely wanted to get into the editor and start making my own. So then when I get into the editor what do yout think are my next thoughts. "why is this goddam editor so freakiing hard to use!!!"Where are the German Paratroops why the hell wouldn't they be in the game in release?" "Why after 10 years would they make such an incredibly difficult editor when they had such a simple editor to begin with 10 years ago?" "Why is there no opportuity to build a Beach landing when basically that is what this timeline of ww2 is based on?" "Why is there no bunkers with ATG's now?" There are some great things about the game that I'm happy with but the short givings are so severe that I'm thinking I'll take my money elsewhere and never spend another penny at Battlefront. If I could get my money back right now I'd gladly do so. You know what they're doing too, they're going to screw everyone here in the playerbase for as much as they can with back to back releases. Content that should have or partially should have been in the Core product to begin with. CMBO in example; which should be focused on since this game is it's predesessor was D-Day to Berlin, most if not all of the units were included and it had an awesome selection of battles and campaigns that kept you busy for months. The editor was easy to use for both making battles and campaigns, there was a learnig curve, it took time, patience, planning and testing to make good product but it was fun to do. Another thing to mention, they never had the beach landings then either, they had the excuse that it was to difficult and not worth it however the playerbase still wanted it dearly. So obviously, Battlefront ignored that request knowing full well that shortgivings 10 years ago would not be remembered or cared about. So then they put out the game with an incredible INCREDIBLE lack of what the original had for content and expect us all to gullibly pay for more incomplete crap while they lead us down the milking path. I can see it now, after the commonwealth forces release we'll find out they plan to release a "Battle of Bulge" addition, then a "Capture of Berlin" followed by a probably more expensive "Eastern Front" addition.

Pretty pathetic that they never included FJ's among a dozen other things with this release. Poor excuse for content in what should have been the "ultimate" follow-up.

Hi, Just bought CMBN and want to make a campaign. After reading the manual I only got frustrated and annoyed. Really mad that after 10 years waiting for a good follow up from CM Beyond Overlord we get a game that is limited to 3 months of the war, hardly ANY battles and campaigns (so obvioulsy a person would want more) and a extremely difficult campaign editor. I made tons of great scenarios and a few Campaigns back with CMBO and also CM Barbarrossa. They still took time, patience and hard work but they weren't as fricken complex as they are now. Very disappointed In Battlefront. Only thing is really going to make me happy with the game is if I can make some scenarios and mainly a campaign. I just got started on it tonight and it's very difficult with the scripts. I want to make a persistent campaign much like the Carentan campaign of CMBO if anyone can recall it. The map/campaign should go so that as the allies press forward the battles lines move with the land they gain or lose. It was easy to do with the old campaign editor in CMBO. I'd prefer to USE THE SAME MAP just as it was done in CMBO before and as battles happen so that destroyed buildings and craters stay in the map. Anyway, what I guess I'm asking for here is help in making a script so the damn thing will work. So like...a huge map is what I plan to make and then the battle would have a battle window so the player couldn't jump ahead ignoring the defenders. Meaning something like a 1k by 2400m map but the battle window would only be 800m wide at a time so you could only progress 800m maximum per battle. Sorry if you don't like my complaining but I'm very disappointed in CMBN in several ways; I'm certain I'm not alone in these thoughts. It's really shocking how few scenarios and campaigns came with the game. Now they're making an add on that should have been part of the core game in the first place!
