steele6 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi all, simply put, is there going to be a demo for CMBS anytime? I have played the demo of one of the previous games, and find the user interface (camera controlling) to be pretty difficult (but not impossible) to use, and that puts me off the full price of the game until i can see how the two games have changed/improved. Ie, I'd like to play the demo before I blow alot of money (for me) on this game Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttorneyAtWar Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Yes, it should be out "soon". If you want a good idea of what CMBS will "feel" like, just download the Red Thunder demo, UI and camera controls are pretty much the same.

womble Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 There are ways of making the camera interface pretty bearable compared to the default way it's presented. In Red Thunder, there are a couple of different modes that might help. Reading the manual and playing with the various different controls that are present, rather than just using the first ones you find, which might not appeal, will help you get the most out of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a good idea of what CMBS will "feel" like, just download the Red Thunder demo, UI and camera controls are pretty much the same. There is also a demo for CMSF if you want to get an idea of what modern combat feels like. ATGMs, IR optics, RPGs and assault rifles in every squad and fully stabilized tank guns are a total game changer that makes CMBS feel disitinctively different from any of the WW2 titles.

Kieme(ITA) Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Although bear in mind that between CMSF and CMBS there are 7 years of game development, engine optimization, improvements and Patches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah, in terms of game commands and UI CMRT is a better indicator. I believe the OP was concerned about UI rather than content. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Took a little extra time to smack around the web publishing side of things, but it finally relented and now we have demos available!http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2290&Itemid=584Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Steve, That's wonderful, and I'll make sure my brother knows, since I've been showing the game to him via vids and stills. But please tell me where to find the Black Dea? That's what the header reads at your link. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George MC Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Will the "Rolling Thunder" scenarion from the demo be made available for the main game? Can anyone post it in the repository? I've just uploaded it this morning, so as soon as it's signed off it should appear. In the meantime you can grab it HERE Just realised that the version that will be uploaded to the repository will only work with the new 1.02 patch (I'd updated my game with a beta version of the forthcoming patch). The version at the dropbox link above should be playable in 1.01 (I went back and used my original version of the game (luckily I kept some older back copies). Apologies for the slight foobar. Hopefully you can play the version at this dropbox link (although you will still have to have patched your game to 1.01). I've created a separate thread for discussion, feedback etc regrdaing Rolling Thunder at the following LINK Edited March 21, 2015 by George MC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks George - I'll probably await the new patch as I have a game on for the current one. But look forward to what I guess is another masterpiece by you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look forward to what I guess is another masterpiece by you. He! No pressure I hope it doesn't disappoint! TBH I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out - all thanks to the heavy playtesting the beta testers gave it. As it's a demo it's level of difficulty is not set to max but I think/hope it provides a nice wee tactical challenge. I pinched a load of top tips from a thread on the forum and put em in the designer notes, hopefully to help those new to CMBS come to terms with the hi-tec modern fighting systems.

Wiggum15 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Will there be a standalone version of the scenario available that works with version 1.02 of the game too ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi Wiggum The version that will appear on the repository was finalised in a 1.02 version of the game. FWIW the patch will not affect whether you can play scenarios made in an earlier version of the game i.e. scenarios made in 1.01 will open and play in a game version 1.02. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Great news that the 'New Modern' Combat Mission Black Sea is available as a Demo! Looking forward to some feedback from folks who favor WWII over Modern. Both are fun periods to game but I think plenty of folks will be surprised at how cool Black Sea is. Battlefront has done a exceptional effort on this New Modern and the game looks and plays that way Happy Battles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtHatred Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 1.02 eh? Does that mean a 1.02 is imminent for the main game? I lost a T-90A to a .50 cal machine gun in the side. This event has scarred me for life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 1.02? We have no idea what you are talking about . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallysWorld Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Super thanks to BF for releasing a demo for CMBS. I haven't bought CMBS yet, but I'm sure the demo will finally convince me to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
