Just keep in mind Zonso that most posters here have seen it all before. Empty promises, insults (you just don't get it eh?) and snide remarks on the BF MB about the posters here. So while uncle Steve is not the hot favourite person here, I would say 95% of us care about the CM series and the direction Battlefront has taken. Again, most posters here honestly want the company to succeed, especially with CM Normandy.
Thankfully we can come here and post what we think of Steve, the company and it's games. Try doing that on the BF MB.
I'm not buying it, not for a second, not even close. The evidence of this board in the two years I have been here kinda-sorta contradicts that. In fact, the goings on here, re insults, rhetoric, bullying and the like makes BFC's forum pale in comparison. As an aside tell me what company forum would 'allow' for your intended 'what we think of ...'?
It doesn't seem to me many here care about CMx2 at all - a few even actively otherwise. What we have over and over again is miscommunication and unrealized expectations of what certain posters want CMx2 to be, and a huge failure to recognize what it is. That's been the case since Day 1 or before and keeps being repeated here over and over. Instead we have derogatory euphemisms and catch phrases and mantras regarding BFC, CMSF and/or anyone who likes and supports it. In the meantime, CMSF slash Marines slash British slash NATO has grown and evolved pretty consistently along the lines I quoted above. Perhaps you don't buy into BFC's design vision, fine, but that doesn't negate the fact of.
I tried to ask a serious question earlier about CM:Normandy and CMSF's gameplay which is not an insignificant 'shift' from CMx1's and requires a little un/relearning. And no, adding an improved QBs feature, or some other 'feature' previously in CMx1, will not magically change that basic fact. It isn't going to be CMx1 Part 2, if you don't like or disagree with the basic engine of CMSF...
From what I see, the bottom line is BFC
is succeeding and moving forward making the 'best tactical simulation' bar none. There's certainly nothing out there in direct competition that even comes close let alone surpassing.
