    In honor of the imminent release of CMSF2, I figured I would get a heads start on the time honored tradition of complaining about every new release by making it into a fun game!
    I give you, CMSF2 BINGO!

    All in good fun of course.

    Slim you seem to be taking a deliberately provocative stance with your peers just to antagonize them. You can make a point without going out of your way to be insulting as you are . Or are you Trolling your fellow gamers for fun? either way its unwarranted in this community..
    Demographically I dont see many children playing this game . I think its pitched at high teens + by its content and complexity. But I could be wrong.

    I think a bit of blood could add something. At the moment we have a degree of abstraction. I believe that an  optional gore setting is fine. In Total War the blood mods have been around a long time and are fun. and using them is totally optional. Gaming is about fun. Part of that is immersion.  If your happy with the game looking like a tabletop game like an animated Squad Leader, or like a old black and white John Wayne ww2 movie or like it really was with all the dismemberment and gore. They are all correct.If my rig was up to it Id be going for full realism.  I wouldn't call people who want the game running at a board-game level of abstraction stupid. Maybe a bit behind the times? All respect to you . Play the game how you want, but dont expect other people to just make do. Were not playing with cardboard pieces anymore. Id just like to point out that the limit is the technology and we are in the 21st century.  Adequate is not just good enough

    By all means, be insulted, I stand by what I said. There is no practical reason for blood and gore in a war game of this type.
    Now that just isn't true at all. Any game with depictions of blood, gore, or both automatically receives an 'M' or '18+' rating from the respective authorities. Receiving an 'M' rating is automatically losing half of your potential marketplace, because children under the age of 18 are the single largest demographic of video game consumers.
    You find it hypocritical because you don't understand the video game marketplace. You can't shove blood, guts, and gore into any game you want without first making sure you target the correct demographic, and market your game effectively. Battlefront is a small developer who cannot afford to marshal the huge marketing and advertising forces large developers can muster, so they need to make sure their game is safe for the whole market, not just a piece of it.
    It's a business decision first and foremost, when you occupy a small niche in the games market, you simply cannot afford to turn anyone away.

    The question is, at what speed are they moving and how far can they move forward while in the "cage" called CMx2 engine...

    silent one got a reaction from Bulletpoint in is there a quick way to review maps   
    Is there a fast way to look at and review maps? The only way I can see of doing so is to start a quick battle and when setting troops preview the map.
    Surely theres a better way as I have to do a different battle to look at each new map. Its a total PITA. Is there a viewer or mod  where I can move from map to  map to view in 3d ?

    silent one got a reaction from Mastiff in How to force infantry to use rockets on armor only?   
    I was gutted when playing USA campaign scenario 2. I had 2 Javelins wasted by troops firing them at infantry.  I couldn't believe it!  Id used limited fire arks so they didnt take pot shots at light armor in the distance. I wanted to save it for tanks later.  So  when when my  big squad attacked the village with the recon troops in it, it shot a javelin at the officer squad in the trees! WTF. lol. Then next turn it did the same.  In a scenario thats all about armor. I could well have done without this . lol.

    silent one got a reaction from db_zero in Asian   
    I think Chinese players would love a game where they get to kick some western ass. Its hugely popular in the Battlefield series. I found there are tons of people still playing Battlefield 2 and the servers where all Chinese . lol.
    Theres potential there. Lots of cool vehicles. Chinese have those long range carrier killers in the future and their own stealth planes. wouldnt be one sided soon.  As a scenario though doesn't really feel realistic . not for decades anyway.
    Personally Id rather have full NATO panoply in BS.
    I have no interest in a WW2 Asian game. Nor 50's Korea or Vietnam.
