Louie the Toad Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 The best feature of CM IMHO: The culmination of board gaming, miniatures and all else that we have done in our lives to simulate a table top wargame. Thankful Toad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I agree with the escape key, but for the wife instead. ... Sure honey, I am almost done paying bills...Be right up. CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priest Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I love the ability it has to engulf your entire life to the point that you would not remember what color the sky was except that luckly it is modelled in the game and the only people you know are the little pixelated men on your screen and that is cool because they all have that new modded winter smock and you think you should get one too and did they get that at the GAP and if they did how because there is no GAPs in France 1944 and you know this because Rexford has not done a penetration table on GAPs and you know he would and baldness might be the look of the future because Matt is bald and this chair sure is comfy and and and and and and and........ Neat feature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Deadmarsh Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I love almost everything about this game and I've learned so much about WWII history by playing the most realistic WWII war game out there. I have to say though, I was immediately hooked on this game the first time I played it by one simple thing: My tanks actually went where I told them to go--unlike the ones in Close Combat 2. I was amazed at how I wasn't yelling and cussing out the drivers like I was in Atomic's game and I realized that by switching over to CM, I could lead a stress-free life. So, I immediately quit CC2 and now I'm at peace with both myself and my tank drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did have better colors IMO though. I wish I could use the CC2 colors in CM. It would be an unholy supercreature of a wargame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-E Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Wittman & Hobo are dead wrong. I don't know what the best feature is (and it's highly sadistic of you to ask!), but I can tell you the escape key is your enemy if you use a Voodoo card and any FSAA.

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 The scenario editor!!! This game would have died LONG AGO if it were not for the extreamly flexable scenario editor! No matter how good CM was on it's release, without this feature, no one would be playing it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Chef Sakai Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I'd still be playing it, as i have yet to use the scenario editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goanna Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Big duh, Iron Chef. But that's because some of us are giving back to the CM community rather than just soaking up other's work and not giving anything back other than being a convenient butt of jokes.

SuperTed Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Quoting the home page here at BFC, "Available for $45." Can you think of another instance when you have gotten so much for so little? 'Nuff said... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm pretty sure you would have got bored with QBs and the couple of dozen missions that came on the disk in short order. It's the hundreds of excellent user made missions that keep the game fresh. Sure, mods are great too, but it's new missions (historical or otherwise) that keep everyone playing. Just think of all the games you've had over the years that are gone because you got tired of playing the same old thing. I mean, you can only play Pole Position or Close Combat 2, or any other number of games so much before they get old. And sure, CM will die for all of us some day; but it's the ability to rejuvinate the game with new scenarios and operations that keeps CM going in the long run. That is why it is CM's best feature.

I've seen about a dozen of your posts over the past couple of months, and they always have some smart @$$ remark in them. I saw how rude you became at the Easy Company obit. thread. What's up?

This game made that game obsolete. PG was good for it's time, but the stats on alot of things were way off the mark wich annoyed me. Where would be a good place to fond some Maps? CMHQ i assume? I pretty much only play other opponents, but sometimes the quick battle maps are'nt that great. Not awful, but at the same time i would'nt mind trying out someone elses map or scenario. Eventualy i'll probably make my own. I'll make a topic when i do so i can figure out how to let everyone download them if they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Chef Sakai Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Thanks for the link! I definetly remember the arty being a bit over done to say the least in PG. The M7's were so annoying. But at the same time remember the magical Pioneer infantry and Engineers that were so good, no army could dig in against their onslaught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
