tarzan Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I love it - this review says it all and with great humor ... this is exactly why I enjoy CM so much "CM:BN is the successor of the celebrated Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord. 12 years ago the game arrived in the waning months of a fantastic stretch of industry-changing PC titles. But its impenetrable interface, geologic pace and abstracted conceits crippled mainstream reception. This spiritual successor solves none of those problems, and I for one could not be happier. CM:BN builds on the weaknesses of its forefathers and follows them to their logical conclusion. If you are to excel at this brutally difficult game you will become a student of the history of fire and maneuver warfare or the men under your command will die." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 As a jaded old CM player it did my heart good to read a newbie's account of getting excited about all of the stuff you're supposed to get excited about. It was like "Oh yeh, so that's why I love the game. I had almost forgot!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFHutch Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Isn't it technically the successor to Shock Force though? Or Afghanistan actually, of course CMA wasn't in house so perhaps not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew H. Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Isn't it technically the successor to Shock Force though? Or Afghanistan actually, of course CMA wasn't in house so perhaps not. Nah, Shock Force isn't canon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemoN Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 While I do think the review caught the "feel" of the game very well, it doesn't offer enough information for people who never played CM IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 While I do think the review caught the "feel" of the game very well, it doesn't offer enough information for people who never played CM IMO. True, but I don't think that was his intent. It seems to me he mainly wanted to convey the emotions the game elicited in him. After all, for many(most, all?) people that's the most important, and there's multiple hours of gameplay footage for them to watch and get the details. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFHutch Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Nah, Shock Force isn't canon. Shock Force is a giant cannon constructed of pure awesome, and therefore it is indeed canon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
