phil stanbridge Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm just curious. Normandy is a great game there is no denying that but Italy feels so much more polished. Who prefers Italy to Normandy, and list your reasons why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Maybe a question better saved for when engine build 2.0 is available for CMBN? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing 88's Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I do. Claustrophobia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 So far, and in agreement with LongLeftFlank above, I prefer CM:FI purely because of the extras in the refreshed engine. I really enjoy making maps so the overlay feature and snappable roads, walls and hedges is a huge bonus because it speeds the process up and increases the capacity of the game to render real-life landscapes. It's also nice to have a cover armour option back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I do, because I find the major military powers to be more even in terms of combat power / capability in 1943 than in 1944. That, and I hate Panzerfausts and Panzerschrecks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 People prefer CMFI because the weather is better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeel Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I actually always prefered the italian theatre, or any other theatre other than Normandy to be honest. Every other video game, movie, tv-series, documentary, etc etc has taken us to Normandy a million times already. PS: That said, I'm really looking forward to playing Normandy with the 2.0 features 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnersman Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm with Blazing 88. The new features are great. But fighting in bocage sucks compared to the more open terrain and good wether in Sicily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Unfair until the engine upgrade to CMBN. But, recognizing that, CMFI. There are many reasons, some gameplay polish, some opene spaces, some just the force rations in '43. For example, I enjoy the challenge of a Stuart attacking my infantry. No 'fausts or 'schrecks make it a VERY good tank against infantry. In CMBN, it has to keep a distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I prefer Italy all the way. No bocage,... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I like the Bocage. It keeps things manageable. In Sicily, there's just no place to hide, hyperbolically speaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WriterJWA Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Sometimes I do miss the structure of the bocage. It made fighting a matter of geometry at its basic. There is no better feeling than catching an enemy platoon with it's back to a hedgerow! I can't wait for CMBN v2!! Sicily is definitely a reconnaissance war. Locate and eliminate hardened targets such as ATG's, bunkers and entrenched troops with direct artillery and mortar fire in lieu of an infantry/armor advance. It's hard to say which one I like better. I'm overall happy with both theaters and their distinct challenges. I just want to see engine improvements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I like em both. But CMFI has better stock graphics - esp the German uniforms and helmets. And yes, I hated the many night battles of CMBN since I had to play around with the Gamma etc so it looked like washed out daylight just so I could see anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Prefer the CMFI maps to Normandy. Just need more of them:) Of course all the upgrades come with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
