one other question. how does the game update? do i need to manually download the update when it comes out (v1.03) or the game updates automatically?

thanks 1. if you cannot spot the target area during setup phase, then what? cause AI still seem oto bring in the arty 2. do the targets need to be spotted in that area? or will the heli pick itself? thanks..looking into it !4...any specific reason? cause in a conflict like the one in game, wont the US or Russia send out its spec op parties as advance recon units? cause i know in our country when major ops had happened against insurgents it was basically the spec ops guys being inserted before the main infantry moved in

Hello All i am from pakistan and after watching a lot of videos of CMBN i finally purchased Combat mission black sea instead. anyway..i am no expert in this, learning slowly as the learning curve is hard but not impossible. as much as i learn i start to like the game more. its challenging and fun as long as i am able to manage soo many units (if not then i close the match ) But i have some concerns so maybe one of you more experienced players can help me out here and answer my questions.. (i am not playing with any mods, so if any good mods are suggested please do tell me) 1. Mortas/ off map arty.. now this is the most annoying/ frustrating/ unfair element i find in the game. the enemy can call in off map arty on your location within few seconds of the match start (like 10-15secs) while whenever i call in off mapr/ on map arty/ mortars it takes 3-5 mins before it comes in, this is very wrong imo. how can the enemy call it on my position when it cannot possibly bring any spotter or hq person to spot and call arty withing 15 secs... the first few seconds are when i have my infantry ordered to move around and they get under enemy arty...so whats happening here? 2. Air support. this is a general question. when calling air support to a specific location, will it target any enemies in that area?? like calling an apache. or do i need to have enemies spotted via my own units for the heli to engage them? 3. Fire pause. is there any command where i can tell my infantry to not be spotted? i.e. not firing at the very first enemy they see and give away their positions. also is there any command which tells the unit to move to a location but not fire at the enemy? or only return fire if fired upon? kind of like a quite move. 4. Special forces.. just curious, why are their no spec ops units in game? we got a lot of unit types so why not them? thanks you

another stupid question. can i download it on 2 different PCs? (one work and one home)..reason is that till end of august i am pretty much free during work hours so i can play it here. and when i get home i can play some then as well..so can i install it on 2 different PCs? or is it restricted to do? (i will mostly be playing SP/scenarios at work)

makes sense to me doug...and thanks all for guiding me...

Hmm ok. So most of you suggest that i shold save up for the big bundle. I was thinking the base game and then v2.0 but as you pointed out it might cause game hangs on multiplayer. And yes multiplayer is the main goal once i get the basics right. The learning curves seems diffucult but thats what i like abiut tgese type of games, they are great simulations imo. And for sone reason i am not interested in CW, not a fan if them so i will be sticking to market garden.

thanks a lot guys..yes i have gone through the demo and alot of more videos which has started to gain my attention much. so this is what i am thinking to do right now Buy just the base game for $35. what will i be missing by just having the base game? then save up more and buy the version 2.0+market garden in a month or two (hoping that the next version comes out and the price of 2.0 comes down more, hehe)

great thanks for clearing it up.. well men of war and a couple of ther games are for neich as well...so i dont mind getting them..i was only worried cause i dont want to find out that the games development has stopped and it has a massive price drop all of a sudden thats why i asked also thanks for clearing up the MP part..

Hello all and greetings from Pakistan. ok now i do play a lot of WW2 based games and i am not one of those COH types players.. my fav game has always been the men of war series so you can get an idea that i am not a complete arcade players. even played close combat quite a bit few years back. anyways i was looking around and stumbled upon this game but i got a few questions before i move towards purchasing it, i hope you people can help me with it. i have gone through the gameplay videos and got a lot of interest in the game.. 1. user made missions: yes i know their is a mod sections but mostly i see unit modeling over their. so my question is is their a central place from where i can download user made missions? 2. Multiplayer: does the game have it? how active is it (in case their is one) Now this is the most important one 3. Pirce: ummmm if i am not wrong the game will cost me $75 (base CMBN+UI 2.0+market garden expansion). is it really so? the reason i am asking is that the game is quite old (couple of years i think) so why still the high prices? also is their an alternative to purchasing from the website? ie. purchasing it from some other website at a cheaper rate. 4. Game developmenet: what are the future stuf for it? thanks in advance guys
