RE: What is with the propoganda at BF???
I've said it before, but I think some people are forgetting the CM series history. From what everyone says the CMx1 engine needed a number of patches before it was right, and reached it's peak in CMAK, i.e. three paid for products later, yet I don't read many complaints about that.
IMO people should at least let BFC patch SF before dismissing it completely, and recognise that: PBEM is still there and improved in mechanics terms, even if there are some AI issues to be patched; SF represents a leap in terms of 1:1 representation which is significant to me even if not to you guys - now you can see when squad members have LOS (although not flawlessly from what others have said), etc.
What I have always perceived as the core values of CM are still present as far as I can see:
1) Realistic qualities to units and weapons and their effects;
2) Punishment for poor tactics!
3) A realistic and non-gamey approach to simulating battles.
