I tried CMSF earlier (that is, before 1.11). The game was half-baked but fun in short bursts – the problem is, it had massive issues on 8000 series card (think FPS in the single digits). I don’t know if it has problems with 9000 series cards, or if they’ve fixed them, but hell, it’s worth a try.

I’m still not getting it. The same performance issues, no widescreen support. It seems quite sloppy in comparison to the older titles. In fairness I’ve not given it a lot of time to win me over, so there might be a game underneath all the slop, but I doubt I’ll be finding out any time soon.

Care to elaborate Ganoa? I found pathfinding much improved.

Anyone else having massive pathing issues?

This is the second demo from them I’ve tried. The last one was many, many months ago, so I’ll have new drivers and everything, yet this engine still BSODs my shit after a few minutes of play.

I had two other complaints lined up but they no longer seemed worth mentioning once that blast from the past showed itself.

Ghetto.

The Combat Mission series is probably in my top 3 games of all time, so Shock Force made me very very sad :(

this is a decent take on the combat command style:

This is so confusing.

I’m sorry, but Battlefront can fuck off after releasing such a fundamentally broken initial version and expecting us to suck it for the better part of a year while they beat it into some kind of functional shape. And that interface, what the hell were they thinking?

And yes, as has been mentioned here, after all that it turns out there’s just not an entertaining game in there. I’m beginning to feel like the CMx1 games were just some kind of happy accident, seeing how methodically they seem to be ruining everything the series had going for it.

Aorawn – The demo features the USMC and the regular US Army. Battlefront don’t do elementary uniform gaffs.

@fulis: Yeah I wonder that too? I read it one day, then I couldn’t find the article any more.
