Ability to play with more than just 1 other person in MP would be really fun. Make it so each side can be split among several players. Even have it where 2 players can fight the AI. I think that is a missed opportunity in these games.

I'm confuddled, you don't look like a free cat. Is that some kind of cunning disguise?
One must master the art of subterfuge in order to free the cats. One mustn't look too much like a cat in order to interact with the cat's slave holders unnoticed.

Well you guys are free to post what you like but I'll make two comments. 1) This is the CM2 forum so CM2 content would be appropriate. 2) Frankly I much prefer that images and video get added to the screen shot threads for the matching game.
I would make the argument that while this is in the CM2 parent forum there is no general forum for the old games, or all CM games for that matter. It makes sense to allow all game's content here to have a constant flow of content and a centralized media location. Also CM1 content will probably be in the minority.
That said I am glad to see people are adding onto this thread already.

Remove the question mark in the title and make this one it.
Mord.
Changed it to from a question to a statement. Now it is the Combined Unofficial Screenshot Thread.
I'll start it off with one of my own.

I have always been one that has loved looking at game screenshots and short gameplay videos. Most combat mission game forum sections have their own unofficial screenshots thread. There always seems to be a trickle of new content pertaining to each game, but this seems to so limiting to have one for each game. If we were to create a centralized screenshot/media thread here in general to pertain to all combat mission games, cm1 and cm2, it would allow for easy viewing and a constant stream of content in one area. What do you guys/gals think of doing something like this?
-Edit-
First it was a question. Now this thread has become the Combined Unofficial Screenshot/Meida Thread.
Start posting your screenshots and videos for all to gaze at and be struck in awe by their glory.

Just for future reference if anyone needs it. With DGVoodoo2 I was able to get everything running smoothly, except fog still does not work.

Oh, that's a shame. Works with all CMx1 titles for me - sorry to hear that. The DDraw dll is definitely in the same folder as CombatMission2.exe? I heard another program called dgVoodoo2 also works but I didn't try it because DDraw did so well. I'm using the CDV retail trilogy disk version, running a new NVidia GTX 1060 card, the latest experimental DDraw release.
For info, this is my DDRaw log:
Thanks for the info. My DDraw Log looks about the same. I am using the version from battlefront's store. I'll try out dgVoodoo2 now.

I didn't change any of the compatibility settings, just ran the exe as is.
Thanks for the feedback. Weird. It doesn't work with or without anything changed. Menus are slick and responsive though.

See my posts at the bottom of the thread here here - hope it helps.
Can you tell me what compatibility settings you have for your game? It starts up really quickly, loads quickly, and is more responsive. Sadly it never draws anything on screen when I get into a mission.

I picked up CM2 early last year and have been having great time with all the WW2 titles. In the early years of the century I had picked up CM1 titles, but really had no idea how to play, even though I bought their excellent manual. Sounds like some of you still play CM1 -- so how does it hold up? I am thinking I might get CMBB & CMAK just to play in those theatres with that equipment.
Mechanically they are still really solid. Not much has changed in the newer games from the earlier games when it comes to control scheme. AI I enjoy more on the older one. Map Generator is brilliant. Graphics are a bit archaic, but they do their job and don't hinder the experience too much. One thing is that fog does not function. Nvidia used to use a thing called fog tables to render fog. They have stopped supporting it. That is what the original CM games used. If anyone knows how to fix that I would be grateful, but I don't know of any fix for it.

I still enjoy them much more than the newer games. Just so many things to love. Map procgeneration, large toe, large scope, simpler control, and so many missions and campaigns. Plus more varied AI and simplistic units. Makes it feel like a tabletop game.
