New to game?

[Yasko]

I bought the boxed Combat Mission Shock Force about two weeks ago, and the videos have help my learning curve big time. Slow and sure helps me win all mission.

What add on, mods, or scenarios should I move on to next? Free please until I can afford the Marine mod.

Well, if you played a previous CM game, you might want to start with the hotkeys stickied here in the forum.

As for mods, well, mostly you should just look at the mods and pick the ones you like best. Go here:

http://cmsfmods.greenasjade.net/mods

BFC's repository

Particularly to be recommended are the sound mods, Scipio's weapons icons and Pinetree's unit base modifications. I'd consider those the genuine must haves.

As for scenarios, there's so much great stuff out there, but many people swear by Red v Red type scenarios and campaigns.

welcome aboard.

make sure you are patched up to 1.21.

You could also try your hand at the "TF Thunder" campaign to give you a feel for the game.

if you have any specific game related questions, feel free to ask.

You shouldn't need to find it in the repository, it should come as standard with the game

That's because you already have it, it's the default main campaign that ships with CMSF.

[Elmar Bijlsma]

TF Thunder is the campaign that comes with the game. It may be called TF Lightning.

Have you looked over GreenAsJade's mod warehouse?

http://cmsfmods.heroku.com/

I just checked, there's 181 third party scenarios on that site. That pretty much triples the size of the original game. There's a lot in there that I haven't tried either. I'm happy you prompted me to look!

Is there a feature in the game where you press something and then it takes a screenshot image which will be automatically saved in a scrrenshot folder? I am having hard time pressing print screen, pause, alt + tab, open paint, ctrl +v, save, File then New, then back to the game again. Or if this is not yet in the game, is it possible to have this feature in the future? Thanks.

You have to use an external program for this. Fraps is a possibility.
