Gunny_ Bunny Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 This is a poll for what CM2 should be called. Currently BTS wants to call CM2: CM2: Barbarossa to Berlin IMHO, this name is terrible. My suggestion would be: CM2: Eastern Front, WWII :cool: OR CM2: Berlin to Stalingrad WWII People will identify with these names better.

I should mention that anyone with even a limited knowledge of WW2 should be able to identify with Barbarossa to Berlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mensch Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 LOL… I think it should be called Combat Mission part 2 or better yet..

Joshik Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Since CM1 was titled "Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord", I'm really surprised CM2 wasn't simply named "Combat Mission 2: Beyond Barbarossa". Seems to follow the logic of the first title, and it still has the clever connsonance (or is it alluring alliteration?). -Joshik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipper Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 In Soviet text books there was no "against fascism" part. The longest name I've ever seen, iirc, was "The Great Patriotic War of Soviet Union 1941-45". By the way, "Patriotic" is not a good translation. "Otechestvennaya Voina" literally means "fatherland war"; ie, the war of all people living in the country, for the country. This term itself is an anachronism. The first war that was dubbed "otechestvennaya" in Russia was against polish occupation, XVII century. The one against Napoleon was the second "otechestvennaya voina", and Soviet part of WWII was the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMplayer Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Whatever they call it I hope they get rid of pillbox sound contacts (before the things even fire) And they just _have_ to model drive-by shootings. Like a German HQ is loitering by a light building, and a jeep comes hauling ass with a roosky half-squad in it, they mow von Fritz down, go up on two wheels turning around, and buzz back to their own lines torturing a captured accordian in the back seat. As it is now, the guys have to dismount first which takes the whole thrill out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rum Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 Combat Mission: Great Patriotic War. This is how Soviet-German war 1941-1945 is called in Russia and Ex-USSR. But i doubt this name would be attractive to western players, so Combat Mission: Eastern Front seems to be good compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
