skunkle3 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I have CM Overlord. Which of CM AK and CMBB is the best looking on the PC or are they both about the same? Just wondering about a purchase. Thanks. Don't have the time to dl the demos to look myself right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 The short answer is CMBO is the ugliest. Out-of-the-box CMBO (which is what you have) bears very little resemblance to CMAK and CMBB. CMBO in its original state was unbearably ugly. CMBB and CMAK came out with graphics that were about two point something generations of CMBO mods. If you really work at it you can mod CMBO up to about third generation. Because CMAK and CMBB start at about second generation they can be modded to about fifth or higher, effectively off the scale in CMBO terms. CMAK and CMBB share a lot of common mods, but the difference in appearance has more to do with Eastern Europe versus North Africa/Mediterranean/Western Europe. It really comes down to whether you get turned on by hearing your soldiers shouting in Russian, Romanian, and Finnish as opposed English and French. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 You mean the base version without mods? I'd have to say CMAK because its got dust. With decent modding though, they are similarly beautiful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skunkle3 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks fellas. I think I'll go with CMAK and grab some of the mods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leprechaun Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 CMAK looks the best out of the box and after moding, but I prefer to play CMBB due to its superior setting and scope. I would recommend getting the Anthology which has all three games and can be purchased for around $20. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSX Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Id go with the anthology too if you can lay your hands on it. Of course for CMAK there are a ton of Westfront Mods worth getting too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Skunkle---Also remember there is a great CMAK mod called CMETO and loads of scenarios which will enable you to also play NW Europe battles (Normandy. Bulge etc etc )using all the advantages and advances which CMAK possesses .I would really recommend that to you to investigate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
