aka_tom_w Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Well they only gave it 6.5 out of 10 but they were very FAIR about this part: "This historical accuracy has its good points and bad points however; the enthusiast will no doubt love this level of detail, and prattle on for hours about the differences between a German tank and a Soviet tank, but for the casual gamer it will be a major turn-off. For most of us, there's a limit to how many numbers and statistics we can swallow comfortably - and Combat Mission 2 goes beyond this by several leagues. This game really is for the enthusiast of the era, and also of the genre. " PERFECT!!! Gameplay: 7 Enjoyable if you like history and real strategy games. Graphics: 4 It looks like it's 1998 all over again! Sounds: 6 Great intro music, but pretty basic the rest of the time. Longevity: 8 It goes on... and on... and on... and then there's the map editor... Verdict: 6.5 Combat Mission 2 has a great concept, but it's not really a game that's open to the gaming masses. However, if this is your sort of thing, this game will have an obscenely long lifespan. © 2000-2001 Madgamers.net. All Rights Reserved. Madgamers.net is not affiliated with any video game companies.

I'd like to see how the sales figues compare to more "mainstream" war games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 BFC does not release sales figures and does not like speculation about them on this board, IIRC.Although they have stated that they are very pleased with the level of sales for CMBB. So hopefully that means we'll be playing their products for many years to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
