A long while ago we were told by BFC that the CM-2 engine would be able to do a lot more than its predecessor. Any kind of game could be hung from the CM-2 bones, fleshed out in no time and published.
Now, when we should be seeing the CMN game coming out this summer (according to BFC original statements) it seems no where near ready?
Can someone who knows about these things answer me this.
If most of the code for CM-2 is there and all they have to add is some terrain and a few new units, then isnt it more akin to a Module than a new game? Surely a Hedge is just a long flat tree? Or a combination of small dense trees? Sureley a Sherman is just an Abrams that has a different shape and armour values?
I thought the whole point of CM-2 was that they could get the games out faster than all that time spent giving us everything? At this rate CMN will take longer than CMBB to AK, possibly even BO to BB. Surely the whole thing is defeating their purpose?
