flamingknives Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 If they go back to WWII, it would be nice to see better use of on-map artillery. Primarily mortars, but also some of the smaller artillery pieces. However, I'd like to see some more recent conflicts. Anything past the late 70's becomes more a region of guesswork than any real data. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwdjohn Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Also, most people who play the games prefer large, tank battles. WWII was the last large scale tank war, and even pacific lacked them. I think that is why BFS has made no pacific games. Why does BFS not want to open source code? I understand for now, but when the new game comes out, wouldn't it make sense to open the old codes? Maybe I'm missing something, but opening source code and the great mods that would result from it would keep me and many others interested in the originals, as well as the new one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Originally posted by throwdjohn: WWII was the last large scale tank war...Of course it all depends on what you mean by "large scale", but the various Arab-Israeli wars saw some pretty serious armored clashes of brigade and even one or two division size. But perhaps Arab-Israeli conflicts are a can of political worms BFC would rather not open. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blutzeit Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Originally posted by Mord: I would love to see somebody play a battalion level battle on a 4000m map in realtime. RTS would be the stupidist addition to CM they could come up with. We have realtime already, 60 seconds at a time. What's so bad about that? You get a full action play back that can be viewed until your heart's content. You'd never be able to play this game with the depth and understanding of what the hell is happening without that. You'd miss atleast 80% of the action...all the nuances of what makes the game so great because you'd be balls out trying to see what is going on over a vast map. Then everybody would be complaining that the maps were too big and there were too many forces to keep track of and so on. Full RTS, for any reason in CM is stupid, outside of a full play back of the battle but that's a completely different thing. Mord. I love CM and its Wego. But the trick to solve both RT and map size problems is called team play. With several players each controlling one or a few companies in a restricted area you can actually do huge battalion sized battles that would work. Any confusion about what the hell is going on would be called "realism" It might not be a CM game, but I know I would love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I think it would be cool if the next game was a MMORPG. You could start a career in any of the armies and try to survive through a dynamically developing war, getting promotions in the process if you do well, and so on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 First I'd like to say thanks to Martin for sending me the link to find my password that I had lost. At this point in time, the biggest thing I'd like to see in connection with CMx2 is a little info about what they plan as far as gameplay issues. I think I have a little more of the attitude to trust what game designers want to put in rather than make many suggestions. I could give suggestions, however. I also didn't find the sneak peak regarding graphics that interesting, because I'm perfectly happy with the graphics in CMAK, not to say I won't be delighted to see improvements. But considering these are wargames, I think the graphics still look pretty amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I've just been playing a desert scenario with British Shermans, and I have a question. Assuming that the model shape for the Sherman III is correct, why is the front turret armour 76/0 when there is plainly a turret armour slope? Not only that, the 75mm gun mantlet is curved, the MG shield is curved, and viewed from above it's hard not to conclude that the turret is curved, too. Will CMX2 look again at the stats for the Sherman? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leopard_2 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Back to the topic. The greatest caveat I would have with too-recent conflicts is that they carry too much emotional baggage. All of us can stand the idea of driving German panzers across Russia's plains, because it's a thing of the past, and the repercussions of what happened back then have long since faded into the background noise. You could make a point on Vietnam, but there are many Vietnam vets still around who'd probably disagree. And I won't even get into the Israel / Arab wars. They are at the root of a good number of today's conflicts, with men, women and children dying because of the consequences of what we'd be replaying on our screens. Not even beginning to speak of the Gulf wars, Balcan etc. The more recent the conflicts, the more emotional baggage. It would be quite OK if there were "expansion mods" available for the game engine, but I strongly believe the game itself should still be focussed on WWII (all theaters in one package, hey we have DVD's and gigs to blow today!). It's a "safe playground" only very few people take exception at. MHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
