Tank Hunter Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I've been doing some preliminary work on a community site for CMx2 players and I have now come to a point where I need to decide if I want to commit to it or not. I started doing this for educational purposes but have been thinking about finishing the project and offer it as a service to fellow CMBN players. The Site would support - Real Time Opponent finder - PBEM Opponent Finder - Tracking of all ongoing games - Support for QBs and Stock Scenarios - Combat Mission 2x Exclusive, from start CMBN and CW module with others to follow - Statistic tracking in order to provide useful data on battles fought so most even matchups can be created No of Allies Victories / Battle Type No of Axis Victories / Battle Type - Opponent Feedback - Personal Ranking and track of battles fought - Game Statistics for every registered player - Ability to exclude certain options / games - Tournament Support (bracket style) The plan is to design a dynamic site that CM players can use in order to find proper matchups. I know there are sites out there providing matching options but none of them seem to be complete when it comes to CMx2. I would like to create a site that offers all that and is exclusive to CMx2 but before I commit fully I want to investigate if there is any interest from you fellow CMx2 gamers. I don't want to spend time and money on a project that only few would be interesting in. I'd rather spend the few hours I have each day on playing the game instead If there is major interest then I will commit to this and see it through otherwise I'll scrap the project and go back to gaming/reading. The whole thing will be commercial free and free of charge so I only want to do this as a gift to our unique and great community. I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagskier Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I also think a place to get all the custom stuff would be nice and a picture/video section people can post. Small forums are always nice too! but that wqould be nice! I don't really know any other CM website! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhmorneau Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 What I really would like find in your website is a dedicated CM2X chatroom to find opponents for RT battles. There used to be one like that, The proving grounds, but it's been down for a while now. I sorely miss it and I'm sure I'm not the only one in town... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejetset Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Sounds very cool. An area for Campaigns would be nice too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I long for having a site like tournamenthouse.com. But I don't see what use that is without WEGO in TCP mode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLotusEater Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I would definetly use it so my answer is a definite yes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM1fan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I would definetly use it so my answer is a definite yes! I echo Lotus Eater -- if he intended to say "definitely". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 You can probably simply copy many of the features at WeBoB re recording game stats for each player. http://www.gregories.net/bobster/bobster.cgi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorProblem Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 A Real Time Opponent finder and PBEM Opponent Finder would be a great achievment. Go for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamAnt2 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi Guys,I don't post much but the mp opponent finder would really help me (and I guess more players) get some pbem games and realtime ones also going. I used to play another wargame from another company and it had a mp portion that was easy and i had 6-8 games active daily. Since i am disabled I can play quite a bit during the day,,,Would love to see this project finished ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDW Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 sounds awesome! maybe join forces with WeBob? the whole may be grater than the sum of the parts... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The Blitz also has most of what you are talking about. I guess the big thing missing would be a real time player finder. It has a ladder system that includes a results based rank (ELO) so, over time, you can find players that have similar skill level to play: http://www.theblitz.org/ladders/Combat-Mission-Battle-For-Normandy/action=ladder&lid=16&active=0&played=0&order=d&order_by=elo&all=1 Another opportunity for you to join forces perhaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFHutch Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yeah I would say that a real-time opponent finder is essential for real-time multiplayer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Also 'The Few Good Men' has most of what your talking about there and more. It might be worth checking it out. http://www.thefewgoodmen.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
