Oh wow, did not know you are that old school...iam sorry...
And no, Germany will not invade Russia again, i will stay here and tell you about stuff you refuse to hear.
CM has big flaws, face it and and stop acting like a hardcore fanboy so we can have a constructive discussion.

 
Sorry, if you dont see how infantry formation (correctly implemented) could enhance the CM gameplay then you clearly have a problem with your imagination.

No, it would just show that Steve refused to sell a great game or feared that it would outshine their own CM series someday.

Sorry, i like you and your Mods but what you wrote about the FPS thing is trash. Lacroix is 100% correct !
If your PC is 3 or 4 times as powerful as the "Suggested" requirements and you still only get stuttering 25 FPS (with drops below 15 FPS) on big Maps then something is wrong.
If you can start ArmA3, load the biggest possible island and drink a coffee in the time it takes CM to load a medium-big scenario then something is wrong !
This game, lets face it, is just very poorly optimized, thats all !
Why are you defending BFC about that ? I cant understand it...

It's not yours to discuss. These are the questions that the company has to answer, not some buyer/forum user.

i just went into a cut of at koevering scenario, minimal fps 8, average 12-13, maximum 40 (when looking at the skies) i5 4690k at4ghz,gtx 970 oced,8gb of ram. clean fresh pc. can run even arma 3 on 60 fps if server is good. i dont know why are you still lying.
 
if we take this what  i said true,which it is, battlefront is believing that playing on 15 fps is ok. 
 
or 
 
if thats not the case,they re not believing that, then they are not able to deliver playable product

So, basically, don't point out the flaws (does not mean that he said that the game is utter s***t) of the game or else you will the wrath of the forum. Why are you all so defensive? It's not like you are employed for BF and someone is bashing your work.

He has nothing to do with BFC except that he buys their games. Why should he have sleepless nights about their business's success ?
BFC has to have them, if they choose the wrong strategy they are done for, and i fear they are currently doing something wrong...
Their old fans will not always be here to buy their products and new ones are rarely interested in a badly performing 10 year old engine with fundamental flaws.

No, not necessarily.
 
What ?
Look, they as a commercial company try to make as much money as possible for the lowest amount of work/cost as possible.
I as a customer can demand that they invest more work/money into their games even if this means they make less profit.
They can choose to ignore me, i can choose to not buy their products.

But then again i hope they as a small team have dedication and love for their product, at least as much as all the ArmA modders for example that create all those models and textures for free in their freetime.
I mean as far as i know they already "use" community members for scenario and content creation.

What' s your age and occupational background that you think you are qualified to tell others what kind of suggestions they can make and not make on a internet forum ?
Do you know the word "Gedankenspiel" ?

But if its a serious question:
Iam 17 and my occupational background is that i live in my parents basement...

if that was for me, no.
just,bring diverse content (which requires more time and gives less profit) instead of creating clones. i as a customer, like diverse content
iam all for uber realism 

No, its 100% a engine problem because of bad optimization.
 
No
 
Yes
 
No
 
It has infantry formations and a "Use Road" command.
 
I just think its cheap from BFC to always use the same year for their games (CMBN, CMRT, Bulge)...sure that helps them to recycle content and save work but i as a customer want something fresh, something truly "new" !
We cant have engine improvements because BFC has no time/money, fine. but at least give us some fresh scenarios and gear to play with (france'40 or the winter-war).

I have both games installed and CMSF overall runs better then CMBS on my pc.

No fear of dying in ARMA ?
You clearly never played ARMA...

CMx2 is a great game but has not moved on since 2007.
Things BFC sells as "engine updates" would be just small free updates for other devs.
Things BFC sells as a "new" full price game would be a 20$ DLC for other devs.

BFC got stuck in their own niche and cant move forward.
And as long as they make enough money with CMx2 there is no reason for them to move a inch.

all they do regarding 'progress' is change the name of the title,add 6 new vehicles,make campaigns that are nowhere near interesting as multiplayer experience and dont fix problems that were present  8 years ago and make 50 maps out of which 35 are crap
 
if you really think couple new targeting mechanics ,broken shaders and holes(decals) on tanks are major improvement then its fine (over the course of 8 , or should i say 10 years soon)

Sorry but that tells me that you are a unconvincible CMx2 fanboy.
You are unable to accept the fact that "Mius Front" has some great features...

If you would have said that you wish CM had some of those features but still think CMx2 looks overall better or something i would accept that, but to say "i'm not one bit impressed...when compared to CM..." is just a joke.
Guys watch the videos and then think again, he said "i'm not one bit impressed...when compared to CM..." !

...and what just made me fall of my chair is that you said "The shadowing seems far inferior to CM..."...wow, shows me how abnormal your connection to CMx2 is.
Really, please stay realistic at least.

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

The complete lack of communication with the community maybe...

Wow, you reached a new low with this post sburke...

No, you DONT criticize how CM handles Bridges !
If that was the case you would stard threads about it and ask BFC why they did not fix it in 8 years.
You have a strange desire to always be polite toward BFC, thats why you never would ask them harsh questions or demand a answer from them.

Then you try to get this thread closed...
That typical, get the critic banned or derail his threads so they got closed...again, very mature.

And about World Cup, as far as i know Germany won it, i mean the real thing not the Women's thing nobody cares about.
And i guess you care as much about football as i care about American Football or Women's "soccer"...
Thats so childish but you still got me to answer this...i know thats your plan because you want m,e banned or at least this thread closed...

After everything in development at the moment is done and all projects on the boil are finished, they should pause for 6 months, then start working on updating the engine. My first port of call would be to get out amongst the community that pay the wages of its staff and see what they want. The coding of a proper AI, and the integration of multiplayer features that are not from the days of PC Format and floppy disks stuck to the front of magazines should be a first. The graphics are passable at the moment. Their problem is they cant seem to utilise todays hardware to its fullest extent, having high fidelity models and textures because they seem to be able to only use a fraction of a pc's computing power. This should be addressed.
I would consider crowdfunding a game, or going to steam for development help - then buying a new engine off the shelf and taking it from there.

There are many possible ways to finance the creation of a new engine.

One would be to search for a Publisher like Paradox or Matrix Games.
Or use Kickstarter and look how much money you can collect.

I would go for this approach:
1. Work on a concept for a CMx3 engine
2. Release all the CMx2 games and modules on Steam (on a date like VE day or something), do a discount like 20% for the first few weeks...the popularity of CM will go through the roof !
4. Make sure all those new CM players know about the Kickstarter campaign for CMx3

If you reach the goal and can actually build a CMx3 engine, great ! Maybe they can collect enough money to hire additional developers, artists.
6. Do a Early Access to collect additional money while still in development

But i suspect BFC wants to play it as safe as possible and fears such a approach. They make enough money with CMx2 and know pretty well how much money they make with every "new" game and module.
Possible they can all carry on this way till they can retire and become full-time grandpas.
