RE: If you were Bill Gates and could commision a new CM
Here's a curveball for you all:
How about a better terrain editor in the scenario editor? Some changes:
All terrain types on one screen - who wants to scroll for some types of terrain?
All map on one screen, no matter how big. (w/in reason, I guess - some Ops do have some gigantic maps)
Elevation change buttons - how often have I changed the dimensions of the map while attempting to change the elevation.
Also, why should I have to refer to a spreadsheet or experience while purchasing units in a QB? Standard ammo load, HE/AT breakout...I know a .50 cal does more damage than a .30 cal, but why not put the damage info in the setup screen? It takes a lot of games to memorize which tanks have a shot trap you want to avoid...
Lastly, I'd like to be able to watch the entire battle in movie format after an op - why should that great assault or bazooka shot be lost after you go on to the next turn? I think my computer has room for the data. Imagine how AARs could be if you could actually post a battle file?
But I wouldn't change anything that would make CMAK/CMBB another FPS/RTS game wannabe - its got a loyal niche fighting for hull down positions. Much love to BF!
