new CM1 Hi-res graphics -> rocks

Agreed. Left around 2004, then came back and it's just as much fun now as it was back then.

I got one of the newer.. More 3D oriented CM's (CMBN), along with 2 of the expansion packs, but still think both CMBB and CMAK are superior products in my estimation.

Interesting.  Clearly there are still lots of people who play the CM1 games.  May I ask what you prefer in CMBB and CMAK over the newer CMBN?  I am genuinely curious how people feel.

Agree with Westland with cover being actually useful in both BB/AK as compared to CMBN. Ease of movement/control of units is much better in earlier CM 1 titles to.

Moving units inside of wooded areas in CM2 makes it a nightmare trying to keep up with them, even with the various mods available.. Either remove all except stumps, make treetops see thru. Battlefront (to me) put all the effort into making the game go h2h with other titles than taking what they had instead of improving the original purchase screen format for instance.
