RedMike Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Yes that's right, I love this game! I have CMBO, CMBB, and CMAK, and I definitely positively like CMSF best. Just had to say it cause I can't stand all the negative ink being spilled over it. RedMike...out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedMike...out RedMike while I think it may be a bit early to say that I like CMSF more than CMBO/BB/AK, I can certainly say that I'm enjoying the game tremendously. Clearly there are some issues and I was not one struck by the technical challenges so my viewpoint is obviously different from others. That being said, I have faith in my friends at BFC and I'm confident that in a very short time it will be a tremendous game and a worthy addition to the CM stable.

MarkEzra Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm on the CM:SF bus. It's fun, great to look at, and has excellent wargaming depth. BFC's history of quality assurance and flexibility makes CM:SF an odds on bet to be considered a classic of Wargaming innovation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Warrior Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I agree! Even with all its problems (which I imagine most will be fixed soon) I find CMSF to be great fun. It is taking me a while to learn how to use it. At first I thought this is a new engine and modern combat so forget what you have learned in CM1 and welcome to the 21st century! However, after getting slaughtered a few times I have come to see that many of the standard tactics that worked great in WWII/CM1 still seem to work in CMSF but with a few new added wrinkles. It is finding these new wrinkles that I find interesting on how tactical level combat has changed (and hasn't changed) since WWII/CM1. I also like RT (though I didn't think I would based on other RT games I have played). To me it brings a new dimension into play and a new level of realism (coupled with non Borg spotting)in that micro mangaing is not really feasible and yet there is not really a click fest either. I also can play a game in near real time (plus a few minutes for pauses) where in WEGO it would take hours of play to play a 30 min scenario. My biggest concern was that the game wouldn't run on my machine but it seems to run OK (though a bit on the sluggish side..however I have learned to work around these shortcomings). My hope is that the direction BF goes is not for more CPU hungry eye candy (what they have is good enough for me..though I love 1:1 and the animations) but more units, better play, better UI, more theaters, etc. However, that is my take and I can imagine that this might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Salkin Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hehehe...you guys are funny...but remember this; everytime you come out here and act all funny like it's like a huge advertisement for the thread.

vetacon Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Add me to the list. Still haven't finished the first scenario yet (playing WeGo to get used to things) - but I love it. If anything it surpasses my expectations. Yeah, there are a few bugs and the pathfinding could do with some refinement but the game is amazing. God knows what all those posts about the game being 'broken' were about. Utter rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaxisAxis Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Add me as well, it still has the CM spirit all the way and it is a true wargame. At first I was a little doubtful and even tryed putting it to the test to see if I could win successfully playing it like a typical RTS you know very light on tactics just rushing out all the big guns to overwhelm the enemy and after quicking loosing I was glad to see I needed to be more careful about my decisions. As I said in another thread much of the old basic universal strategies and tactics used for CMBB and other good wargames apply here as well as some that are entirely different given the new equipment and conditions. It's no less difficult than CMBB. And above all it is the same deep interest of :look-what's-happening!; what-I've-got-to-do fun. Now I am talking about the campaign and scenario missions and yes I still hope the QBs -can be improved-in the way of AI tactics- those add a long never ending replay value and for me I've got to have a good single play I can fire up when I have the time. There are a few other mostly minor things that I think are either missing or not working well but this is not the place to niggle like so many are doing in the forum- I think no matter even if it came out the way they expected it to be they would still have to whine and be disappointed- some have thrown their little arms up before they've even finished the first mission-or after they've lost it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I would like to thank the Battlefront team for another amazing simulation. I am thoroughly enjoying this game, and am totally impressed with its depth, which becomes apparent each time I play. I am not having any significant perfomance issues. Here are my system spec's: Toshiba Satellite P105-S9722 Laptop Windows XP SP2 Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM 4200 RPM Hard Drive Nvidia GeForce GO 7900 GS with 256 MB GDDR3 SDRAM Anti Aliasing set to 2x under the Nvidia settings Anisotropic filtering set to 2x under Nvidia settings Display 1280 x 960 Vertical Sync to OFF 3D Model Quality and Texture set to BEST AntiAlias/Multisample to ON The mouse view/movement can be a little slow at times, but not that bad. I did install the Windows Duo Core Patch, but it didn't really seem to make any difference. I have played the training campaign and several battles so far. I particularly enjoyed the Al Amarah scenario by George McEwan. Watching an Abrams tank blast away at the front of an apartment building with its main gun until it caused structual failure was unreal, let alone the fact that three "combatants" on the back balcony, were laying lifeless in the rubble.

General_solomon Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I waited way too long for this game. Maybe people were expecting the greatest game ever made. it think it will get there after a few patches. It may have a few bugs. I dont care, I'm glad BF finally released the game. When is BF creating a AAR section. I hate the fact that i have to go to other forums to get my AAR fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Ive said it in other threads, but Ill say it again in here: I love CM:SF. The more I play it, the more I enjoy it. Just trying to figure out the best way to get PBEM's going now . . . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DASman Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I have only played the demo, but CMSF is the best of the bunch. This looks to be a great game, and I might just buy it(and that's saying a lot, I haven't bought a game since DiabloII). I know several people at DAS have bought it already.

SS Sniper Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Count me in I love this game. I got CMBO when it first came out and it had some of the same problems that CMSF has, but Battlefront keep on coming out with a new patch evey 3 to 4 weeks (or it felt like that) until the game was and is GREAT!! I had CMBO on my pc for about 2yrs. Now how many games have you played that stayed on your PC for 2yrs. I know give them some time and CBSF will be there also. GREAT WORK Battlefront. the best game company out!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truppenfuhrung Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Despite some problems, I also love the game. CMSF is not perfect, but with the appropriate corrections, it will be the game I dream of. A truly worthy successor for CMBB and CMAK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
