    New Gameplay features ?

    in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg

    Of course we're not interested in your problems because you have nothing to offer.  So why should we care about your problems?  Battlefront, on the other hand, has something to offer.  If people like what it has to offer then it continues to stay in business.  Therefore, the way Capitalism works we must offer something that people wish to buy.  That doesn't mean we have to make something that YOU want to buy.  So in a Capitalist system you have the option to not buy what we offer if you do not like it.

     

    And here we go again... :)  It is very clear to me, and many others, that you do not appreciate the fact that CMx2 has never before simulated the Bulge and the battles along the German border.  For people who want to explore this setting there is only ONE game that offers this... CMFB.  Therefore CMFB is unique by definition.  Which once again shows why your narrow minded definition of what a game is falls flat on its face.

    nothing really offer? so far spent over 400 bucks for a series, it is nothing? (You can give it back if it's nothing) another 55 bucks, this is also nothing? (skipping my personal contribution to modding the game)
    and what to communism itself - always read the forums that you have a small team that you have a lot of problems, we can not have any expectations, and therefore we should support you by buying your products and enjoy what we give (no matter what) - is just communism - I lived in a communist country and the authorities explained to us that we are poor because, for example. Western countries imposed an embargo on us and threaten us with the invasion and we should be happy with what we get.


    CMBF is unique for new players, for those like me who having all part of the series, absolutely not unique - unless it gives you something new to mechanics and graphics of the game?

    Don't buy it then.

    It is a truism - for me, the CM are the same product like any other - a phone, shoes, anything - I'm not a fan, just a consumer - this is the deal - I spend money on a product, so I have my own expectations for its quality - not I am interested in the problems publisher, which is a version of the game engine, do not know much about this, and they are not my problems - no one is interested in my problems - it is not communism, we need not subsidize a product just because it is unique.
     
      and whether it is unique? CMBS, CMRT are unique, because apart from the scenarios we got a new version of the engine and lots of other content - CMBF give you something that would be unique?

     

    ps. I read in the forums of many players, that if it were not my mods sound, the game quickly bored - and that means that the product must evolve to keep players, if not the sound, it's a different content.

    I know it's not your mother tongue, but please go back and read: there are improvements. Not that they've ever been an intended part of a new family release: BS had a similar number of minor engine tweaks for its period/region, but wasn't "version 4"; if this was the first "not a new engine" release, would you be whingeing? When "version 4" comes out, you can complain if there are no new features. Families, inherently, contain support for a new area and/or period, which may include some engine tweaks, but just because FI was concurrent with the release of v2 and RT concurrent with v3 doesn't, by any means, imply that every new Family will have a full-blown engine upgrade associated with it. And it's never been asserted by BFC that this will be the case, either: you're just assuming.

    Your assumption is incorrect. If you recognise that, and modify your expectations, perhaps you won't be so fired up about it.

     

    yes, there are minor improvements, but the price is not small - eg. CMBS we have plenty of new models (vehicles / soldiers), three factions, three campaigns, scenarios, improvements / innovations (eg. the floating vehicles, aps, Ukrainian voices, electronic warfare, etc. )

    CMFB is a module packed with new game - copy and paste, several scenarios two campaigns (5 scenarios) several new models and we have a "new game" in the "old" price.

    55 bucks is a lot? for a total of about 25 scenarios - it's very much. And other costs? - Eg. Time - waited a year for a new game, and we get the same thing, and again we have to wait another year for something new (probably for another scenario)

    No you don't HAVE to spend anything.

    J Bennet was just stating what is important to him.  The fact that it includes new material that is hard to come by makes it worthwhile to him.  How come his opinion isn't just as valid when it comes to what he places importance on?

    As it is yes there is more, you well know that.  You already have some idea of what CMFB includes and yes for you that may not be enough to warrant $55.  Fair enough, but no one is making you buy it.

    What is tragedy is the level of hyperbole going on.  We all have a general idea what we can expect in a new release.  This many years into it you'd think we could have a different discussion when a new release is coming instead of the "sky is falling, how could they make me buy this" threads that invariably come up.

    Try doing a 5x5 km map in detail with flavor items based on a period overlay of some of the iconic battles of the period.  This will be by far the best release yet for that sort of thing.  For some folks that level of labor is what they want to buy.  Is that a feature?  Not in the strictest sense of what we usually refer to in software terms.  Is it an item that represents a lot of labor time that many players really appreciate having?  Absolutely.  (on the other hand the overlay is an actual new feature that CMSF never had).  Then there are the meticulously researched ToEs, some folks, myself included are nowhere near versed in that level of detail and I am amazed at the depth of knowledge of some of the contributors to that aspect.  Does that have no value?  Then there is the continual cry for tank riders in the Western front . I guess we are all so jaded now having them on the Eastern Front that it no longer matters- and yet that also meant a lot of labor for BF.. God help me I am partly drawn to this community because I figure the pursuit of historical information would make them more open minded and appreciative of the finer details.  Damn was I ever wrong.

    in this forum written to me that I can not expect improvements in modules, because there are only new models and scenarios - now we have a NEW GAME, so map / scenario can not justify the lack of improvements.


    and one more thing, I do not care for what the game engine is created, what it is its version etc. (or problems publisher) - it's not my problem - I want to get improved product - if you are enough to play only new maps / scenarios - well.......... the less you expect, the less you get

    If the campaigns are well done and there is say ,twenty very good scenarios, thats almost worth the

    money right there. Ever tried making really good scenarios? Its a lot of work.

    This is a tragedy - you do not have other arguments to defend a product? There will be new maps, scenarios? and I have to spend 55 bucks? if it was a module I did not complain - but it is a separate game, so I have a right to expect something new?
