Paul 87 LX Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Hey all I guess the title explains it all. I really like CMBB, just wondering if its worth getting CMBO Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnersman Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 CMBO was revolutionary when it first came out. CMBB is a vast improvement on CMBO in gameplay, realism and graphics. I think you might be disappointed if you bought CMBO after playing CMBB. So, in short, no. Unless you really want the Western Front expirience, then by all means buy it. CMBO is the only computer game that does a good job of recreating the Western Front as realistically as possibly. I loved CMBO when it came out and I love CMBB even more. Thats my two cents worth.

Nolloff Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I´d say yes. It looks good enough when modded and for various reasons it´s easier for a "newbie" to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCat Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I'd also say get CMBO, too. I bought the bundle about a month ago and started with BO and I'm just now easing my way into BB. CMBO has several things going for it: 1. Looks great after it's modded. 2. Teaches about CM world modding 3. Western front 4. Teaches you the CM system 5. It's fun! Just a few reasons...have fun!

Sardaukar Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I'd say yes too. And having both gives quite comprehensive picture of armoured warfare during WW II. Well, maybe not desert and early war, but close. Maybe CM 3 will be all fronts 1939-45 or even more. Cheers, M.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epée Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I have both, but after CMBB - I can't go back to CMBO. CMBB is all I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombinedArms Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I'm still eagerly playing both games. I'm guessing CMBO is a bit easier to learn (but you have to unlearn some of it to play CMBB effectively.) All in all, I'd buy it if you think you might want it. Some reasons beyond those already cited: 1. It was a landmark in the history of wargames...if you don't buy it you're missing out on experiencing that landmark. 2. It's the best wargame ever designed for the western front (ok, a point already made but in slightly different form.) 3. Fighting Shermans vs. Panthers is a fascinating challenge. 4. The US artillery model--fast, accurate, plentiful. VT arty is a trip in itself. 5. The Brits have some cool tanks. 6. Canadians and Poles. 7. Refight the Battle of the Bulge--or any of your other favorite West Front battles. 8. Millions of scenarios at the Scenario Depot. CMBB won't be there in terms of scenario offerings for quite some time yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Wiking] Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I'd buy it. I used to play it a lot, but just can't go back to those poorer models and sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
