But CMx3 means less interest playing CMx2 nor buying a new pack like Utah.

Not really a good deal for BFC..

That seems a little 'counter-progress' if I may say?  I know what you mean, but long term it's the way to go (and Steve is not retiring just yet, he said so).

I'll buy Utah anyway and keep playing CM2 for now.

please remember that of the 1000 things you guys might guess we're doing, at best only 1 of them will be correct

 The obvious guesses are CM3, France1940,or a Brand new Eastern Front game , but Steve said 999 guesses will be wrong , so it must be something not obvious. My  money is still on it is CM3 but not WW2 , just like CM2 was Syria...............as much as Steve denied it could be done ................its CM3  Viet Nam.

From an application technological standpoint, what could change in CM3? Not era nor theater, but technology. For example, might CM3 be a Windows application?

I realize this is all speculation and the people who do know belong to a secret society and are sworn to secrecy.

He denied that Vietnam could be done in CM2. It may very well be CM3 Vietnam.

The good Bad Thing about this Whatever It Is? I know I’ll buy it. There’s nothing else left!

Yeah, that's pretty much a guaruntee for me too. There's nothing that it could possibly be that I wouldn't end up buying. Even if it turns out to be the most anticlimactic thing imaginable, like coffee mugs themed for each of the CM2 base games, I'd order the whole set in a heartbeat.

Is CM3  means  old games going to get engine upgrade ?

I hope they find a way to upgrade the existing CM2 content to CM3. But I'm not sure how that could be possible. The reason CM3 gets a shiny new number is that it will be an entirely new game engine, not just another upgrade to the CM2 engine.

Anything other than an early retirement can't be too bad lol

Cm3 or new Title covering a completely unexpected conflict would be my guess.

I hope that with this mysterious project, BFC can still find some time to do bugfixes on some of the older games, Red Thunder is still missing the DShK and German Flamethrower specialist teams and there are Shock Force 2 has tons of minor TO&E weirdness and other bugs.

Still excited for 2024 though, can't wait to see what's planned!

I agree this one should be priority and then starting making something new. You should first fix old well known bugs battlefront before you moving on pls

Can't speak for the rest, but from what I recall the single team DShK was taken out on purpose after further research, so not a bug

Pretty sure that's the IS-2 Late with DShK, which was taken out sometime around 2020, the DShK specialist team was still in the game as of 2021 and only disappeared unannounced later. Elvis confirmed it was unintentional and slipped through the gaps.
 

On that note, there seems to be photographic evidence that DShKs were indeed mounted on IS-2 tanks in WW2 and @akd has a link to a site containing the order to mount them on heavy tanks and SPGs

I’m really hoping for early war, especially France 1940 and the Balkans campaign up to the fall of Crete in ‘41.   Various Cruiser marks and Matildas for the Brits; Char B’s, Somua’s, Renaults etc for the French; Pz Mk l, II, 35t’s for the Germans.  No big HE chuckers, so that ATG’s have a fighting chance.  

But if that’s too ambitious, I’d happily accept the Western Desert campaigns over the same period.
