The differance between CMx1 and "CM"x2.

[Phil Davies (FGM)]

Ok I have read a lot of stuff about how dissapointed people are about the CMSF, for myself I am going to sit on the fence and say that with some work it would become a great game. Some say the way pointing is poor, I myself have no issue's with it except for the facing command. I do have an issue with the command display and the sub menus which are not the easiest/clearist of things but I am getting to grips with it. I miss the the right click of the drop down menu which we get with CM. So far I have only played the AI, I have found that the American 155m arty is devistating and one only needs to rain this down on the poor Syrians with pin point accuracy and you'll win. My Abrahams knocked out nearly all T72's on the first turn of the first campaign and then killed all the Syrian T55 reins as they appeared on the edge of the map. The biggest single dissapointment for me is the poor QB format, anyone who has played me knows I really only play QB's as I am not restricted by a designers choice and this for me makes CM a fantastic game.
Will I play this as a PBEM ? yes I will despite the huge files which everyone is taking about, I would like to try it online also and see what happens there.
If BF do bring this out as a WW2 game then I hope they listen to what is being said and the howls of anguish. I don't think many of us were ever really sold on the near furture thing but we still hoped they would deliver a game which would live up to it's CM name, unfortunalty they didn't.
As for patches I don't see them altering the game style, they will be for bug fixes of which there do seem to be a few.
