TownsendVol Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 I appreciate you taking time to answer this even though its been posted before, I am sure. I didnt get a good chance to play the demo but from what I did it looks promising. So again, is the acutall game a lot better, about the same, or worse than the demo. Thanks and God Bless.

Forever Babra Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 Same but more of it, which makes it better. More features, more vehicles, scenario editor... lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 Ditto that. A much larger array of units and scenarios, plus a Quick Battle generator that creates a new random map and engagement according to your specifications each time you play it. Massive replay value, awesome game. ------------------ War is cruel and you cannot refine it. --Sherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shatter Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 Ya I would say alot more of it.

TownsendVol Posted December 29, 2000 Author Share Posted December 29, 2000 aka_tom_w, Man,that sounds pretty good. Too good maybe for a game. Not sure my wife would like me enjoying it that much. Hehehe. I do get the point. I am just trying to make sure not to waste my $45. I am sure I will be pleased if I get the entire game. Then I can come on here and get the facts on everything. Thanks for all your comments. I like to hear from the gamers what they think. And yes sometimes Message boards will have just as many people on them who hate the game as who love it. That does not seem to be the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 I've never owned another game with the amount of Replay Value that comes packed in CM. It's basically infinite. One more bonus of the full game over the demo (as of now anyway) is that the full game can be updated to 1.1b24 and used to play TCP/IP... plus you get all the great tweaks to gameplay, that just make the game that much better.

Maximus Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 Why must every potential new customer always worry about wasting money on CM? Well I'll tell you what. I'd rather waste money on CM than buy ANY store bought game. Especially with today's piss-poor follow-up support from companies on their products. BTS has strived to make a great game...perfect. CM has undergone numerous tweaks and enhancements since its release back in late June. I think why people are so skeptical of buying CM is that it is only available on-line. Well I suggest everyone with this skepticism should read the Battlefront.com Manifesto. It'll answer any question you have as to why BTS took this route of sales and marketing.

Hakko Ichiu Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 The Demo was like a big jam donut with cream on top: it's arrival gave us pleasure, and its completion left us hungering for more. The complete version is just pure crack. ------------------ Ethan ----------- "We forbid any course that says we restrict free speech." -- Dr. Kathleen Dixon, Director of Women's Studies, Bowling Green State University Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikey D Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 I ask you, what else were you planning to spend that $45 on- 3 weeks of cable TV? Buy CM and sell the TV set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 The game once bought only gets better with age. I found this to be true when I went from PBEM to TCP/IP play. Jumbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrew Hedges Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 I think the full game is significantly better than the demo because of the quick battles. The scenarios are quite good, but I've played far more QBs because I can always find something I'm in the mood for, or have time for -- from small company-sized infantry actions in the snow to large armor battles in hilly-but-clear terrain to actions where my battalion of conscript Volksturm must fight off a battalion and a half of green US units attacking through deep mud in pouring rain. Okay, I lied about playing a battalion of Volksturm in the mud; I'm never in the mood for that. But you get the idea. It's cool to be able to pick your own forces, and it's also cool to let the computer pick the sides. Computer generated units let you fight with realistic forced that you would probably never choose yourself: it's easy to defend with two panthers, but it requires some careful thought when the computer gives you two 75mm HTs, a 150mm Inf. gun, a StuG and a Puma.

Stoffel Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 just buy it. Than after a while you get angry if someone disturbes you. You are rushing in traffic to get home . On your work you are restless and watching the clock continuesly to see if it is time go home. Than your wife starts hating you (or calling you names because you spent to much time with cm) Than you don't want to go to your wifes parents or someones birthday or whatever. and finally when you have forgotten the name of your wife (and or kids). Only than you know you did a right buy. Trust me I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 With all the questions you are asking about the game and the time you are spending on this forum it's clear to me you really want to order it.

I/O Error Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 I have searched for a game like this for over a decade, and this is the FIRST and ONLY game to match and exceed all of my expectations.

Guest MantaRay Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 Why oh why do people ask all you yahoos if they should buy this game??????????????????

von Lucke Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 It's a $45 well spent --- though you might want to factor in the extra couple of hundred your going to have to spend mollifying your wife, so she doesn't get too jealous of all the time you spend on CM...
