Why Should I Purchase CS Middle East?

[Scud]

Gents: 

I have interest in modern combat and enjoy the CS game platform. 

However, I have read past comments from several CS players who are less then enamored with ME!   

Also, reviewing the recorded games database, I discovered the following information:

19 scenarios rated under 4.0
Many scenarios have only 1-4 completed games
ME was released in 2015 - that was five years ago. Should there not be more completed games? 

Not exactly a stellar record?

So, what is going on? Is it a lot of unbalanced scenarios and a small number of folks playing ME?

Feedback appreciated! 

Hi Mike!

You haven't been around much, and in so long, that I doubt anyone here knows who you are. 

ME is a learning curve. Anti-tank stuff is deadly, and from a distance. You can't put a tank on a hill, like a tiger in WWII, and be impervious to enemy fire. You learn that really fast. The time-frame is greater, so weaponry and tactics change over decades rather than years. A stellar record, though, no.

IMO the scenarios aren't up to snuff for H2H. They're OK if you enjoy playing the AI, but for Blitzers, that's an issue. Also, unlike WF, EF, RS, no one is making custom scenarios for it, so the community really let the game down. There are a couple of exceptions, but that's certainly the rule. The game could certainly use someone like you, who likes to design scenarios from time to time. 

We have a small mirrored tournament that just started that will be exploring some of the unplayed scenarios. Hopefully we'll find some gems.

I know the devs are planning to revamp ME, after Viet Nam and EFIII, I believe. The new versions will be programmed differently, as will the scenarios themselves. Way more possibilities will be opened up and should result in better experiences. However, it will be quite a while before any of that happens.

Personally, I like the game and would play it more if there were interest and 10-20 really good balanced scenarios, like some of the classics in JTCS.
