Fucking arses!

The battlefront community is the most unfriendly i've ever encountered. Their programmer (they've only got one for Combat Misson) don't give a flying fuck about their fans - but rather just listen to their beta testers (who btw belive themself to be semigods compared to the rest).
When you ask for options in CM they more or less tell you to fuck off. The developers reply is usually "if you don't like it just don't buy it. We don't care.". And thats how they reply to their fans who's supported CM1-3 since 10 years back with mods/sites and gaming.

Tbh I proberbly wont download them either.
Atleast not the ones they make themself (the do distribute for other companies aswell)

Combat Mission 1-3 where the best games ever... then came Combat Mission Shockforce...what a piece of junk! And after that they just continued with expansions to Shockforce.
They do however only have ONE programmer on the CM games. But since he seem to care about himelf and his beta testers more than his actual fans...I won't support him anymore.
Thank god that Matrix games are making a free expanson that brings their Panzer Command up to the same quality as Combat Mission (Panzer Command: Ostvind). Their forum is awsome btw. They really care about the ones buying their games.
They said "after Ostvind we will let you play with that game for awhile and then we'll see what you want implanted next!" <- now thats what I call support!

You mean Panzer Command Ostfront, right? I googled Panzer Command Ostvind and there was only one result in an asian language. Why do you say Combat Mission 1-3 are the best games ever? The graphics in those games leave much to be desired.

Games arent always about graphics. I take it you watched a couple of screenshots only? The gameplay in CM1-3 are the best ever.

Yes, Panzercommand Ostfront. You can't really be good at googling since I actually mentioned which company made them too.

http://www.matrixgames.com/products/391/details/Panzer.Command:.Ostfront

Those games are NOT about graphics - they are imo the best strategy games ever (combat mission 1-3 that is...NOT shockforce).

Reason I wrote ostvind is cos I was thinking of a tank at the time I wrote it. Your ofc right with Ostfront.

If your a graphicwhore - these arent the games for you..however, if You are a strategy gamer and like depth in games...these are worth their weight in gold! (then again, digital games dont weight much...but you know what I mean Very Happy)

Yes, I know a good game is much more than graphics but graphics matter too. I'm not a graphics whore, just a good game whore. And I visited the Matrix website before I asked you about Panzer Command "Ostvind". So thanks to you, confusing me with your "Ostvind", I just discovered Matrix Games. Smile I have never heard of them before. And I discovered they sell remakes of Close Combat games!!! I love the Close Combat games! Too bad, all the games from Matrix are expensive in my opinion.

Well... Panzer Command Kursk kost less than €20 and that will include the Panzer Command Ostfront once it's released. So imo its not that expensive.

Unlike big companies like Valve/Ea/ubisoft etc etc they don't have as much people buying their stuff (im sure you know this)...so for them to be able to continue they do need quite a few games sold. So imo its not that bad.

Graphics doesnt matter if the actual game is superb. And in CM/PC case thats exactly what it is. Since they don't have many programmers I'd rather see them concentrate on the gameplay rather than expensive 3d engines. No other battalion based game has ever managed to get as much details into it as cm/pc does. And im not talking about the graphics now Razz

More than 10 euro is expensive for a game unless you shit money and consider it acceptable to charge someone 50 euro for a game. So which game is better? Panzer Command Kursk or Combat Mission 2? I want to buy one of these games(can't afford both right now unfortunately) and I love Eastern Front games. And I know I can purchase and download Panzer Command Kursk from Matrix, but where can I purchase and download Combat Mission 2?

Tbh I wont suggest you buy any of them atm Razz

Combat Mission 2 would have imo been worth shitloads of cash if it wasnt for the fact that you have to PAY to get a patch that makes it work in vista/windows 7 for a start....and I don't want anyone to support them until they realize that they are the ones who need their fans..not the other way around.
So download CM2 (or Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin as its actually named).

PZK would be a nice buy atm...but either wait for PZO to be released and buy it then...or just buy PZK and wait with the playing until the patch is released. Thats what I suggest.
Cos there is a big difference between PZK and PZO. (as stated before, PZK will get a free upgrade to PZO once pzo is released...however, once pzo is released - pzk and the other pz game which name I cant remember atm will be removed from their product list).

I don't agree with the price reasoning you have. It's all about priorities. If you want a game that cost €10+ and cannot afford it. Wait abit and save up cash.
I paid €40 when CMBB was released...its alot of money but I had saved up. And concidering that i've been playing it atleast a couple of times every week since it was released 8 years ago...it wasnt that expensive.
More expensive to drink/smoke Smile

Now after some more thinking, I sort of agree with you. I think that really really good games are not expensive if they are over 10 euro because they can provide you with months or years of entertainment(games like Fallout 1. Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate 2 With Throne Of Bhaal Expansion, Mount And Blade etc). But more than 10 euro for an average game(a game you can beat in less than a week and not want to play again for a long time) is expensive. And saying more expensive to drink and smoke nowadays is like saying, more expensive to sprinkle diamonds into your food so you can see your shit sparkle. Razz

I'm waiting for someone to say DOD Source is the most realistic World War 2 3d shooter ever made and seriously believe it so I can have a funny quote under my posts. Smile What do you think of the games Achtung Panzer, Men Of War and Theatre Of War? I like the Men Of War game a lot but it is a bit of an arcade game.

hehe I wouldnt be suprised if somebody did tbh!

Those are good - apart from Theatre Of War. It had such good potential but the MP part was horrible. It was like going back 20 years. Too bad since I had high hopes for that title (yet another reason to spit on battlefront...even though 1c was the developers bf was the publisher).

Men Of War is quite fun even if its abit arcadish...kind of the same thing with Company Of Heroes
I used to play hexacon strategy games...but those are even too ugly for a guy like me nowadays lol Razz

You know another thing that I find fucked up about Battlefront. This...

"Backup the installation files you downloaded! Downloads expire automatically after 365 days or 10 downloads. We do not offer digital storage for your purchased games."

I don't understand why they do not offer digital storage for your purchased games because the game files are always available for new customers. One of the reasons why people buy digital versions of games is so that they don't have to keep all these cds/dvds. And hard drives die on people... So I find it fucked up that no matter what, after 365 days, you have to buy another copy of the game if you want to download it again. So buying a digital Combat Mission game from them is basically buying a game that can possibly expire in a year if you are not careful...
