iron_weasel Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 This game http://www.gicombat.com/ claims that it is made by the same people who made Combat Missions. But I thought the guys that made CMBO are makin CMBB. Does anyone know the story (or if this is any good)?

Panzer Leader Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 OK, before this goes to bed, let's at least set the record straight: they CLAIM (and rightly so) to be the CREATORS of Close Combat, not COmbat Mission(s). Ahem, now mother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTed Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Okay, so I thought I would finally jump into one of these, but it's only because I have something useful to add. Here is a quote from a recent interview with Eric Young regarding Close Combat 3-D: "I don't call G.I. Combat a war game." Any questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTed Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Originally posted by Priest: DOH! Hello alienation of your core fanbase, goodbye respectability. Yes yes Matt sorry sorry.Priest, Speaking of distancing himself from respectability, Eric further explains at the GI Combat forum: "Games like GI Combat, Close Combat, and Operation Flashpoint are not traditional wargames because they do not have restrictive orders systems, complicated data flow that requires user input, and are very much action based in concept. The user does not have to know anything about World War II or military tactics to get enjoyment out of the real time action going on in the game. Thus they appeal to a much larger group of gamers than people that call themseves wargamers. These titles are more cross over titles from realtime startegy and FPS type games." The penultimate sentence is the key here. It's all about appealing to a "larger group," folks. I think it's time we told the Battlefront.com boys how much we appreciate that they keep it real here.

Volker Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 G.I. Combat is an RTS anyway. Games like Combat Mission feel more Epic to me, for some reason. an RTS is usually fast and you have to think very quick, I want a WWII RTS, but later, when they are really beefed up. CM:BB will be enough strategy for me at this point. [ May 11, 2002, 04:44 AM: Message edited by: Volker ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
