The Windows link given by Steve in this thread still appears to work https://battlefront.sharefile.com/share/view/s25afa9e71ca4e789/foae431f-161b-4bca-b2c7-ea5701e5ce94 is the download url.

Can I hear the heavy sound of Steve banging his head against the desk from 3,000 miles away? I think it would take longer, and would need thoroughly testing to avoid the inevitable rage posts when things don't work as expected.

How long are you willing to wait for a new engine, and how many years before it gets around to a hypothetical alt-history idea such as this? A "Patton's Dream" 1945 Soviet pack for CMFB would seem a relatively easy option, since all the TOE and modelling work has already been done for Fire and Rubble. Whether Steve thinks it's viable and worthwhile doing is another thing.

R2V or a Black 911?

Looks awesome. Might need some dock leaves tho 😉

The Big Bundle upgrade is if you own the CMSF1 base game and all the original modules. The CMSF2 upgrade key requires the corresponding CMSF1 key to activate.

Same. You didn't need any other key before other than the CMSF1 Big Bundle Key. The old procedure was install Paradox CD, add Paradox version patches, install Big Bundle with all modules, patch to latest version then activate single Big Bundle key and it all worked. I've never had a CMSF 1.21 key and never needed one.

September the 95th in the old calendar

For .rar files I'd always use Winrar. It works like old winzip used to on zip files. If for any reason the download doesn't work I'll let you know later

Just about to purchase the upgrade, but... I'm a Paradox buyer who upgraded via the $1 upgrade then bought the "CMSF Original 3 Module Bundle" CMSF-B3V1. Do I just buy the Big $35 Bundle and the download will work and activate? The key to the CMSF-B3V1 bundle activated everything for CMSF1 including the base game. I'm holding fire after reading the requirement below, since as a Paradox buyer we had no original BF key for the base game. "Requirements The CMSF1 Base Game Upgrade works with an original Battlefront purchased CMSF1 Base Game license key."

You could try Audacity. It's free: https://www.audacityteam.org/ It will allow you to record, edit, convert and export any audio to the correct wav format used by the CM series. The background wav file can be stereo, it will still play. Right clicking an audio file in windows, selecting Properties and Details used to show sample rate, bits and mono/stereo for a file IIRC, but Windows 7/8 etc now just gives a bit rate, eg 44.1Khz x 16 bit x 2 (stereo) channels shows as 1411kbps

Fleeced? CMSF2 is hardly a Ponzi scheme or similar take the money and run operation, nor is it in the league of Vapourware kickstarters. The product is near completion and has hit a speed bump and is delayed. Their communication is not the best, granted, but they've not run off anywhere with anyone's millions. You seem to be over-reacting. If you're that upset about pre-ordering for a product that's missed it's release date then simply cancel the order and get a chargeback on your card or a refund from Paypal. It's not that hard.

They could definitely do with someone handling PR and "Community Manager". It might help avoid threads like this flaring up unnecessarily.

It's a video presumably made by a beta tester in response to complaints of lack of any information. It's not a promotional video made by someone who does that as a job, collects a whole bunch of footage with the best camera angles and action shots, all carefully directed, scripted and edited with a dramatic voice or music component to promote the game. A narrated play through like the CMFI Bear Claws AAR video of Josey Wales would be awesome, but I'd expect that sort of thing nearer release, made with the 1.0rc build of the game. Whether something like that appears remains to be seen, sin

I thought a natural for CMBS would be Poland, since it's their back yard. The problem with other nations is the likely income from sales vs the development cost. How many $35 does it take to make your RSA module viable and what is the likelihood of selling that many at that price? It's probably less of a gamble to do the same amount of work on a Marines module and sell far more in the home market.
