Bulletpoint Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sorry if this question has been asked before, just wondering if Battlefront have hinted at the direction they are taking this series? Both technically and thematically. Thanks a lot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The very next CM game of the series will be Combat Mission Black Sea, a modern era title featuring US, Ukraine and Russian armies. Info here: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=113978 Technically it will use CMRT game engine as a base (the equivalent of what it will be after the upcoming patch), with a few additional new features, such as uav recon, precise arty strikes, advanced infantry weapons, active defensive systems on vehicles. It is very likely to be supported by additional modules featuring more armies, such as from EU. You can expect close future releases of additional CMBN and CMRT modules, too. Then a remake of combat mission shock force seems to be planned, to update the oldest CM2x game to modern standards. This is what I inferred from forums in the last months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks a lot Kieme, exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I'm not so much into the modern warfare myself, but good to see the series moving forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks a lot Kieme, exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I'm not so much into the modern warfare myself, but good to see the series moving forward. I originally thought the same way and found myself really hooked on CMSF. Afaik what Kieme laid out above is everything with the exception of eventually a CMFI module and at some point a late war NW Europe game (October 1944 to end of war). Then again BF has been known to surprise everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If I recall their soviet-style '5 year plan' correctly it would be something like modern war ('Black Sea' unless there's a name change), a CMBN mission pack, a CMFI mission pack, a new CM-bulge title, a CMRT module, back to modern war for a module, back to Bulge for a module, back to CMRT for a mission pack, then I suppose jump to 1943 Kursk for a new title. But that should be taken with a grain of salt. Lets remember CMFI had been on nobody's horizon and came as a great surprise when it appeared out of the blue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Wasn't there BFC hinting about some sort of surprise to come alongwith the engine v3 upgrade for BN and FI? Did that materialise yet and I missed it, or is it still in the pipeline? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper117 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'll be interested to hear about that as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLaurier Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 CM Poland '39, France '40. (every adventure needs a begining) Combat Mission Rising Sun. (Japan at war) Combat Mission Colonials (all the poor brown folks who fought and died for their ungratefull colonial masters) Combat Mission forgotten Fronts. (all the little stuff nobody cares about) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 CM Poland '39, France '40. (every adventure needs a begining) Something I dearly hope will happen. Combat Mission Rising Sun. (Japan at war) If Steve is to be believed, this is never gonna happen. This is probably a pity as at least some campaigns, like Burma, would fit the CM mold perfectly. Combat Mission Colonials (all the poor brown folks who fought and died for their ungratefull colonial masters) Not likely in any foreseeable future as for the present there would not be a big enough audience to defray the costs of development and production. Combat Mission forgotten Fronts. (all the little stuff nobody cares about) Doubt that would ever be a separate title, but between modules and packs most of that material will make it into the system sooner or later.

Sequoia Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 MikeyD aren't they to be called Battlepacks, not Mission Packs? Mission Packs implies campaigns to me which they may not contain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Bennett Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 CM Poland '39, France '40. (every adventure needs a begining) Combat Mission forgotten Fronts. (all the little stuff nobody cares about) I would guess this would cover Norway, Russo-Finn 1939, Crete, Greece, and BalkansYugoslavia campaigns?? If so count me in as wishful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn2002 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Me to..honestly those doubters about a modern war CMx2..you'll be very pleasantly surprised. I'm pretty sure of that too, although I'm not really thrilled about modern warfare. And yet, I still hope we will be surprised this winter by an offensive in the Ardennes region. But my trust in BF is unlimited. Whatever they release, I'll buy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Williams Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 You can expect close future releases of additional CMBN and CMRT modules, too. CMRT, certainly, but I don't believe there will be another module for CMBN. Perhaps a "pack"... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raging Al Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 CM Poland '39, France '40. (every adventure needs a begining) Combat Mission Rising Sun.

Duckman Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Me to..honestly those doubters about a modern war CMx2..you'll be very pleasantly surprised. As disgusting as it may sound, I think we have to admit to the fact that the war in UKraine has increased interest in a modern CM. Those Resurgent Russia scenarios aren't fantasy anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletpoint Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 For a modern title, I would like to see something about asymmetric warfare. They wouldn't need a lot of AI for the religious nutcase faction, just look up some youtube videos of how they fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 CM Poland '39, France '40. (every adventure needs a begining) Would really like to see this and Russia '41. The early years are fascinating as the doctrinal differences were so different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just got V3 for CMBN and CMFI and they are really improve the game. What is next up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 I'm also wondering about what new features BattleFront considers adding to the game with the coming expansions. We now have airpower, flamethrowers and even tank riders ... are there any big elements still left out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 We now have airpower, flamethrowers and even tank riders ... are there any big elements still left out? Submarines. And hand to hand combat. And hand to hand combat on submarines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Submarines. And hand to hand combat. And hand to hand combat on submarines. I'll take that as a no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Submarines. And hand to hand combat. And hand to hand combat on submarines. And hand to hand combat against submarines. Though the submarines have no hands. And then . . . Claw to claw combat with space lobsters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
