hellfish Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 No there is, but we're giggling at each other because you're the only one that doesn't know the release date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostRider3/3 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Question... will you be able to change the outcome of the Campaigns you enter? IE... will you be able to organize the soviets more effectively, can the Axis forces take Stalingrad? Basically can you change the outcome of the Theatre your in... North, Central or South? even though you only command I think up to a Division, you can still wreak havoc on the enemy? Can you command different types of Divisions, Motorized, Panzer, Waffen SS? Can your Spearhead destroy Soviet, Axis Resistance, thus allowing you easy manouverability to a designated target, such as Stalingrad, Smolensk, a possible bridgehead or are the Campaigns pre-generated with the same units? Does what you do effect the Overall campaign? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Bolt Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 CMC is not a true campaign battle. It's divisional operations-only. But I'd bet with a fast machine it can be stretched to a corps level game. For a true campaign game we are waiting for the tie-in between CMC and SC2. Then we can go from whole war to platoon level in 3 easy clicks of the mouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 "...a consumation devoutly to be wished", General Bolt. Unfortunately, given the pace of CMC's development, I may not live long enough to see the connection between and among CM:BB/AK, CMC, and SC2 realized and playable. <sigh> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider3/3 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I guess I have another question... possibly somewhat related to CMC, and CMO. Is Battlefront going to come out with a new version for the Western Theatre, I would love to play the Poles, or even the French, Belgiun forces. It would be nice to take a division from start to finish, like you can in Talonsoft's West Front or East FrontII. Just putting that out there if any Admins from Battlefront are Listening, I know it would take some development, and Battlefront is on the right track, but I know there are more persons out there that would love to play campaingns where you can change History somewhat, not totaly but somewhat. Falcon 3.0 was great, in that depending on how your squadron did, it could change the tactical, and somewhat strategic deployment of enemy forces, if you consistantly did well, then you were doing great damage to the enemy and you could see your progress on the Strategic map... somewhat of an analogy I was trying to make, that you could possibly do with a great game from Battlefront. Hats off to all of you at Battlefront... I love playing..and as a consumer I always want more....more...and more.. Juergen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubasteve1233 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 they are. but it won't be till after shock force is out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellysheroes Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Shock Force is such a wasted effort. Many of us aren't going to buy it. I still don't understand why they had to make it first. They will sell 1000's more copies of a WWII module than they ever will Shock crap Force. IHMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO I think it was the right move, get the game engine to model complex weapon systems and physics of modern day military and WWII will be a breeze. No need to reinvent the wheel every new release. But I do agree, the whole subject matter of SF has me scratching my head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Agreed, Kh and WC, but the nice thing is, that our new WWII engine will have all the after the fact improvements and few to none of the initial bugs that SF will, and that makes me happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostRider3/3 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 hopeduly this will lead to the Re-vamping... of CMBB, CMAK, and a Western european theatre campaing that would allow a start to finish. IE.. 1939 to 1945. That would be great, there were many good battles between the Axis and Allied forces from 1939-1940-41 on the Western front and Balkans.

GhostRider3/3 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 That is pretty jacked up... I have been waiting for 12 plus years for a campaign system where you could play from start to finnish, and possibly change the outcome of the War. Battlefront is great, and is extremely popular and has a huge fan base. It strikes me odd.... does anyone listen to the people actually purchasing these games in what we want.. they know that if the Masses want something they will pay for it.. so it strikes me odd why they wont fullfill our gaming desires. ahh heck... I will still play CMBB and CMAK but without anything changing it will get old eventually. 2 cents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrano Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Simple matter of resources versus demand, it seems to me. I've always defended the guys over at Creative Assembly when they said nobody (OK, not nobody, but not enough SOMEbodies) would actually play the multiplayer campaign everyone claims they want. Same here. C'mon guys...gaming WWII from the SC2 level and resolving battles at the CMX level? Our lives aren't that long. And, for me -- and this is just for me -- all those "story campaigns" where you bring a group of brave young boys into battle and forge them into men suck. Casualty rates are too high in the real deal to make them anything other than a fondly-crafted, ahistorical joke. I confess, though, I do not get the Shock Force thing. Then again, Steve and Charles have already shown they know more about games than I do... Regards, Jim "Cyrano" :/7) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casualty rates are too high in the real deal to make them anything other than a fondly-crafted, ahistorical joke. As compared to the single stand alone battle with it's inevitable flag rushes? I've finally started an ROQC campaign and aside from a dubious core force composition it plays far more realistic then anything CM has had to offer up to now, including operations. No more sacrificing a squad to deliver a mortal blow to the enemy if you suspect you won't see replacments for a long while. With all the nattering on about force multipliers in the Shock Farce forum the refusal to add a 'game mutiplier' campaign is surprising to say the least. I'm willing to bet most people playing Steel Panthers post CM did so because of the campaign system. SP isn't very good when compared to CM yet it's still being played today. So why not add to CM that which made people return to SP long after it's sell by date expired?

Panzer Leader Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Originally posted by Cyrano: ...I'm willing to bet most people playing Steel Panthers post CM... Ya caught me! Alas, Im not thrilled with Shock Force either, I mean, bleh, we played CM #1 for a great wargame and #2 (big number two) that I love WW2! Noth this US vs Syria (SYRIA?!?!?) stuff. I had this vision last night that the whole CMSF thing was a big cover-up for the REAL next gen game from BTS: More WW2 greatness. Oh well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
