Guderian's Duck Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm just wondering why the same modular approach that the Combat Mission series now uses is not used with this game? It seems like a perfect fit for Theatre of War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirocco Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 It's a different developer, with different ideas and plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally posted by Sirocco: It's a different developer, with different ideas and plans. I know, but since it's been "Battlefrontized" anyway I was curious why they didn't copy CM's new modular approach too. The CM developers have made a very good case why they switched from huge releases to a modular approach. Anyway, it may simply be that they don't want it to run parallel with the CM series when it returns to WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I imagine that would have meant a major re-write, and BFC would have had to convince the developers to take a more long term approach with the series. And, as you mentioned, given BFC's plans for a modular WW2 series it would have diluted their catalogue. Added to that the torturous development process and I can imagine the developers just wanted this one product out of the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
