Hwyranger Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 CMx1 and CMx2..... I have all four CMx1 and CM SF and the CM BN. My question is simple, Is Battlefront ever going to release a CM Pacific covering the numerous battles and actions which raged across the Pacific during WW2. And if not, Why not?

Wicky Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Battlefront have said they have no interest in Pacific - However if you search there is a community made modpack that converts CM 1 into Pacific Theatre with relevant scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Is Battlefront ever going to release a CM Pacific covering the numerous battles and actions which raged across the Pacific during WW2. Almost 100% certain not to happen. And if not, Why not? Basically what Wicky said, the subject just doesn't grab them. And before anyone starts arguing reasons why they should do it anyway, you should consider what a labor of love game design is...at least good game design. If they are not personally enthusiastic about a project, it would just wither and die. I should mention that I am totally sympathetic towards this view even though like others I would welcome a game on the subject. But I know just how much creative work depends on inspiration. Money alone creates merely a crass, tin-plated product with no magic in it. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwyranger Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks for the info and I shall look into the mods. IMO, Battlefront is dropping the ball on this one and a Pacific Theater CM would sell. But having said this, I agree as stated in essence, if the heart isn't into it, it will die on the vine! Thanks again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 There is also work done by LLF on a Makin island scenario with some great modding work for CMx2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hwyranger, The PTO CMx2 game many here would love is a BFC nonstarter (as the case in CMx1), barring, say, A Christmas Carol type wargame ghost experience for Steve. LLF has done yeoman work, and he is not alone. There is good news, though, in that Steve said that post MG there would be a mod pack for doing Scheldt Estuary scenarios. This explicitly includes what the British called Buffaloes, but we called LVTs/Alligators/amtracs and similar. I don't recall whether or not we get Higgins boats/LCVPs (doubt we'll see Terrapins), but even if not, having the LVTs offers huge possibilities. Now, if we could just get flamethrowers... Meanwhile, here's a PTO appetite whetter.

John Kettler Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Hwyranger, Since I don't want you think I'm discriminating against the Japanese, here's a remarkable look at the Japanese armor/antiarmor side of things.
