Mr_Centipede Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hi, I just bought CMSF (no modules) and I was wondering if there are still players playing this. Furthermore, where can I find opponents if I want to play some PBEM multiplayer. Thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 There are definitely still people playing this and putting out scenarios for CMSF - however I don't know if there are many who play PBEM. If you have just purchased the game I'd at least play a few scenarios against the AI before you tackle a human opponent. If you can't find anybody on this forum try a Few Good Men: http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/forums/combat-mission-shock-force-afghanistan.169/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Welcome aboard. CMSF is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to CM kickassery. it's still a great game but a bit long in the tooth compared to the awesomeness of the WWII and approaching Black Sea titles. Fortunately BFC has plans to remake CMSF with all the newest up-to-date features that are in these other titles. If you don't know already, all of BFC's titles, starting with CMBN are being kept at the same engine version. Which means anytime they introduce a feature or features in a new title, said features (if applicable) will be ported to ALL the other games already released for a ten dollar upgrade fee per title. So far that's been happening about once a year. So, what that means is is that all your games will be at the best and latest version of the engine. CMSF2 when it's done will also benefit from this. As far as CMSF 1, once you delve into it, I highly recommend picking up the other modules, they all are fun and play differently. have a blast and let us know what you think of the game. And if you have questions just ask away and we'll help you as best we can. There's years and years of discussion and info here. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulman Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I still play it. I think it's actually my overall favourite. The newer titles have a lot of little enhancements, but CMSF still looks and plays very well. The modules are worth it - Marines in particular is a hoot to play. You'll get an appreciation for how effective modern infantry are, and also how vulnerable armour is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I find myself looking forward to playing CMSF as a rest from the multitude of WW2 CM titles. I really like scenarios which challenge one to accomplish missions with minimal (if any) friendly casualties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skwabie Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yep play it daily, now working on a army version of the marine campaign. (ww2 for me is mental torture nowadays. "oh there is an AT gun." 5 mins later... "there is still that AT gun." someday bloody kill that thing ffs!!:mad:) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Centipede Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Speaking of modules, does battlefront usually do discount sales? I know the current price for CMSF modules are already discounted, but I'm kinda tight at the moment. plus CMBS might be coming out next year... so I'm thinking of saving for CMBS instead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Foulkes Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've never seen them do special sales, just a discount on bundles. I hemmed and hawed about the price before buying the whole package and don't regret it one bit - it's provided many hours of enjoyment when I feel like a break from WW2, and I haven't even gotten around to playing some modules yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Foulkes Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 If it's one or the other though, I'd probably wait for CMBS and enjoy the base game in the meantime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"there is still that AT gun." someday bloody kill that thing ffs!!:mad:) I find this with ATGM's too, it makes me laugh (beats crying!). You can have one unit in a clump of trees 500m away; you can pepper it with grenade fire; suppress and hit it with two squads; finally plaster it with a 155mm barrage. In the last turn, it will still take out a vehicle with its last remaining crew member. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvthudson Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I still play all the time just not against others since they use cheesy game exploiting tactics. I prefer the AI when it works 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
