muzzlehead Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 Come on Troops lets Rally on this one. Wonder why Gamespy did not list CM.... Cause it is not distributed through corporate channels. Gamespy is a puppet of the Corporate Game industry. Even if we give CM a good vote level I'll be surprised if it gets actual press from these market pawns. Later, Muzzlehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanco Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 Yes, Shogun is an excellent, high quality game. It deserved to be mentioned there. ------------------ DeanCo-- CM interface mods: http://mapage.cybercable.fr/deanco/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Stars Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 Well, I voted......but considuring that out of the crap they did have on display the leader so far is C & C:Red alert 2, I doubt this site is worth saving...... Jeez, Westwood re-hashes the same crap RTS game they have had since Dune 2 with some cheesy FMV thrown in for good measure, and THIS is supposed to be the pinnacle of Stratagy games this year? Excuse me as I hose the floor in vomit. ------------------ "Life is pain. Anyone saying otherwise is selling something." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samhain Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 Done. Thanks for the alert. One reason CM might not be listed there is that most gaming media treat wargames and strategy games as different genres. Then again, they included the Sims, which does have strategy elements but certainly shouldn't be classed with most strategy games, imo. ------------------ Hope you got your things together, Hope you are quite prepared to die. --CCR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brer Pinkey Posted December 15, 2000 Share Posted December 15, 2000 Done. But the 'Other' catagory only shows as 8.2% right now. Maybe we can make a statistically significant showing. Sort of a Nader'esque moral statment . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Toad Posted December 15, 2000 Share Posted December 15, 2000 Done. I actually heard about Combat Mission when the board heard about Strategy Gaming Online's best new game poll, and literally voted Combat Mission into orbit. There I was, innocently voting for my fave game Ground Control, when I saw this unknown game trample it into the ground. I hope we educate a few people the same way I was.

patboivin Posted December 15, 2000 Share Posted December 15, 2000 Voted. I also added: "Red Alert 2 is a strategy game? Who do you think you're kidding?!" Point and click frenzy does not a strategy game make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saru3000 Posted December 15, 2000 Share Posted December 15, 2000 Done. I'm guessing that if you buy a significant amount of ad space on Gamespy you get rewarded. It'd be nice to check their books.Maybe I'm just being cynical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest grunto Posted December 15, 2000 Share Posted December 15, 2000 --Anyway, I am very happy to have found out about this game! You see above what I've been driven to. I never did play ASL, but I did play the original, along with other classics like Third Reich.-- our 'crowd' got heavily into asl, then realized that the rules were just too complicated for the size of battles we liked to play. we went back to original squad leader et al. i'm not sure you missed out on much, unless you liked smaller battles, for while asl was a great system, it sacrificed too much playability in my opinion. plus the schlepper was much more rare =g= yes we played 3rd Reich too... imo the greatest theatre-level game was ww2 from spi. that game had a vague rulebook but a great system. the map was huge... then they added the pacific version... i still have that as a matter of fact... never once played it.... always went for 'eto' after thinking about it with another gamer for a few minutes. it took 40-50 hours to play ww2: eto out. 3rd reich was typically around 10-12 hours right? anyway, get a copy of combat mission... you will really like it. andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
