ParaBellum Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Gamestar.de, the website of Germany's biggest computer gaming magazine, has provided a mini preview of CM:SF, a full review will be available in its september issue (available in early august). It is quite unusual for Gamestar to do this for such a niche game, usually only mainstream blockbusters or "big names" recieve such attention. The preview doesn't go into details about the game, but the overall tone is IMO quite positive, accentuating the realism and the challenge of commanding the forces. I think it's a very good sign when mainstream mags like Gamestar provide information about CM:SF. Lots of screenshots, too. Der Link.

Itael Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Thanks for that ParaBellum. I didn't understand the preview but I sure did enjoy the screenshots 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taki Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Greetings to all the German Players here in the FOrums. Is there a Site for German Players or Internatinal where we can go on Search for Multiplayer Games when CMSF Comes out in a Week? Blitzladder? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 There's an opponent finder forum here that worked pretty well for me in the past. And there's the old CMHQ chat that is now found at http://www.the-proving-grounds.com/chat.html Don't know much about the various ladders, since I never played in one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD82 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 The Blitz will have a ladder when the game comes out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Steiner Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Just found this on YouTube. Looks like a video version of the Gamestar.de review. If only I spoke German! Gamestar.de Video Review 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 It is indeed a video review from Gamestar, and the tester really seems to like CM:SF. His conclusion: don't let the meagre presentation (compared to blockbusters like Company of Heroes) put you off, the game is an incredible deep, realistic tactical wargame. I am quite surprised about the positive tone, I had expected much more criticism about the complexity etc... This is REALLY great news! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salkin Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Wow...now if he wouldn't speak so fast I could actually understand a thing or two about what he said. It seemed like a great vid though, newcommers could probably even learn some of the basics just from watching this vid...if they were any good at german that is. I understood the last part though where he said it wasn't for everyone and that he recommended that you try the demo to see if it was for you. That sure sounds like our CM . //Salkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 First of all a big Hello to all BF-Community members. Your are really a great community. I am around this forum since the good old CM a few years back now. Always just reading, never actively taking part in any discussion. I think its time to change that . As I am the one making this video I have to say thanks that you enjoyed the video. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi Alexander! Kudos to your review. I was definitely a bit surprised by the quality of it, since I sometimes consider the Gamestar reviews a bit...uhm...shallow, as far as hardcore sims or strategy games are concerned. Ein wirklich schönes Video das sehr gut verdeutlicht um was es bei CM:SF geht. Hut ab! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Abe, that's a great video! I awould like to second what ParaBellum just said... for a very long time most German mags were treating war games "stiefmütterlich" Great to see some fans of the genre who know what they're talking about to find their way into the ranks! There is hope!!! Gamestar seems to be on the way to become one of the best German mags if you ask me. I am not saying that because of the video, but it's actually the only mag that I am reading regularly from the lot for some time now.

Abe Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Vielen Dank . My intention was to show the casual gamer, who tends to overrate graphics over actual game play, to have better insights what CM:SF actually is all about. I hope that because of this video some people actually try this not so mainstreamed title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taki Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi Abe. Schönes Video! Endlich mal ein richtiges Review in einem Deutschen Spielemagazin. In deinem Review sprichst du davon das es ne Demo in der Gamestar gibt. Steht das fest? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi Taki. In der aktuellen Ausgabe, die seit heute am Kisok ist haben wir keine Demo. Auf der nächsten Ausgabe dann. Bis dahin wurde sicherlich, wie in den letzten Jahren auch, eine Demo veröffentlicht 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taki Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Alles klar Abe. Freust dich wohl auch schonauf das Game und hämmerst als auf den Refresh Button. Obwohl.. quatsch du kannsts ja schon spielen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Ja, ich drücke wie jeder hier in dem Forum wohl sehr oft auf den Refresh-Button Und das obwohl ich schon spielen kann. Aber ich freu mich schon so richtig drauf, wenn alle hier mitreden können und die wirklich interessanten Diskussionen los gehen. Vor allem auf Diskussionen rund um das Thema Taktik bin ich gespannt. Hab noch vieeeeeeeel zu lernen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taki Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Okay back to English cause this is a English Forum right? @abe: Have u played the old CM Scenarios with WW2 Settings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I played all three previous titles and still have some "play by email-games" running. So my answer is yes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Steiner Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Any chance someone could amend the title of this thread to mention the video? The original title is a bit misleading now. Oh and Abe, thanks for a great video review. The German speakers seem to think you have done the game justice so good job! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 I could do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
