Combat Mission BLACK SEA can be pre-ordered now!

it has been almost three quarters of a year that they did not release a patch for CMRT and they promised it for how long now?

True, the CMRT patch is long overdue, but as a software developer myself i can tell you it's not always a 5 mins job to track and fix bugs.Especially when the bug is not even in your code but in the video driver. Why would BFC purposely delay the patch if the fix was easy to fix?

How long has CMx2 been out? Seven YEARS?
If you have played CMx1 you can't have forgotten how awful the lost ability is, that units can't be selected by clicking their movement paths but instead must be searched and navigated.

I have almost 500 CMx1 PBEM games under my belt and i'm playing CMx2 since CMBN was released. So far i haven't missed even once the ability to select units by clicking on the movements path. I guess after a few days i just got used to doing things differently. Now, i do agree, having it would be useful, but presenting the missing ability to select troops by clicking on movement paths as a deal breaker is far from the truth.

I am amazed that you can be fooled so easily. To me their tactics is obvious: whining on the forums how difficult things are and how poor they were, while they are slowing down the improvements but speeding up content generation.

And what's wrong with that? It must be just me, but i'd rather prefer to have a France '40 game on my hard-drive than 2vs2 pbem. And i'm not even sure that's the case. Usually, you have the coders handling the new features with the designers/testers doing the vehicle/scenarios stuff. Different people handling different things.

What else do you need than a vehicle pack even without scenarios and without a mode that allows to switch off historical availability to find every vehicle? IIIC they did not even include an information when each vehicle is available! Really, that's fighting for every customer...

And someone is forcing you to pay for the vehicle pack if you don't want to? I haven't purchased it, nor do i plan to.
As i see it, BFC is free to release whatever they believe puts food on their table at the end of the day: new games/modules/vehicle packs etc.. And i'm free to decide if what they release justifies the prices they ask for it. It's that simple.

I have the feeling anyway, with the development of CMx2 grinding almost to a halt, that they are concentrating on something else, while they are releasing as much payable content from the old engine as possible and investing the least possible amount.

CM:BS is in the preorders phase. How's that "the development of CMx2 grinding almost to a halt"? From what i can see there are significant changes, although, granted, not all are applicable to WW2 games.
