Bones Posted May 17, 2011 at 02:31 PM Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 at 02:31 PM I am curious if anyone else here at =VG= is a Combat Mission player. I am an avid fan of the series, even though the last release "Combat Mission: Shock Force" was a bit of a let down. Battlefront has released a new demo for the upcoming "Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy" and I am glad to see the devs going back to their roots and what made the older CM titles so great. One of most most favorite aspects of the CM series is that you can play against an opponent by email which is nice, as timezone differences no longer matter.I will be writing up a review of the new Demo in the next few days to include screenies and videos so stay tuned.For those of you that do not know what Combat Mission is please read the wiki HERE as well as check out the Battlefront Website. These titles are pure tactical enjoyment! It may not be a graphical wonderfest but every game feels like a Chess match where one wrong decision can cost you the battle.Combat Mission 2000-2011 Video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Outlanders Posted May 17, 2011 at 03:09 PM Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 at 03:09 PM Played in some of those.I think my favourite is a Barbaross to Berlin. Shock Force with addons was pretty good too.Haven't tried this one yet.@Bones, what do you think about Close Combat series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted May 17, 2011 at 03:14 PM Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 at 03:14 PM I like the CC games and have them all but once I got my hands on the first CM games I couldn't ever go back.CM:SF just always felt broken to me, even after the ridiculous amount of patching needed to get it to work. I never did buy any of the addons for it, although like you have stated I have heard good things about them. I dunno maybe I just like my Combat Mission WWII flavored. !coffeeCMBB was (still is) a great game. "CM: Afrika Korps" was nice too. The new demo for "CM: Battle for Normandy" is really really good. It's gonna be hard to top as far as I am concerned. You should really give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
