I was just curious as to what people think of CMSF now that it's been loose for a few days, what are the things you love and what do you hate.

On the plus side i like the graphics (providing you have a machine that can poke them along), the fact that the game is modular and they will be releasing expansion packs in the future and the setting is a nice change from having just another rehash of WW2.....lots of nice toys to play with. :smg:

On the negative side i'm not happy with the TacAI so far, it seems a bit slow off the mark at times. The lack of a random map generator, the queuing of orders for units is a bit hit'n'miss and the camera is a bit awkward at times. A lack of a detailed in game squad/unit info panel is also a pain (one with weapon ranges and firepower ratings like we have in the CMx1 games). And finally PBEM files seem very easily corrupted.....just ask Bootie. :rolleyes:

I get the feeling CMSF wants to be a full blown RT game but got stuck in no-mans land instead.

Fingers crossed that future patches will solve some of these problems.
