Interesting thread.
Or are these posters simply hysterical. No official response from BFC yet. Will wait for a more official word with interest.
Interesting thread.
o In the unit editor, when you rename a unit that is not a formation (e.g. squad, vehicle) the name change applies to that unit's leader, not the unit itself.
I dislike this tremendously - Why can't we give names to units (and have it show up that way on the map within their icon, like before).
This has completely messed up much of my prior work - Or at the least made it much more confusing for me on the map to know which units are which.....
I have mixed feelings about this too, along with the other editor change that skips the upper floor doors when ctrl-clicking buildings.
This is just a silly and not needed taking away of customer options here. With us paying $25 to boot.
We keep talking about the prospect of CM:N adding more features that CM:SF had stripped out of CM:X1, and yet the trend now seems to be that the CMX2 game engine itself is in retrograde?I dont understand why they would want to put this feature from afghanistan into CMSF, no sense.
to be honest, afghanistan was probably the worst purchase of my life, 27 euros and ive only played about 4 missions into the first campaign. reason? I felt it was simply a game. I felt no atachment to the units I was commanding.
im not saying work did not go into it, but when I bought it I was expecting briefings such as the ones in CMSF, not the regular, "the enemy is comming, kill them" we get in a scenario briefing...this also went into the generic "1 platoon, Alpha Coy, 1st batallion" on the units, what did you just pop the units you wanted in the editor and didnt bother to give them a back story? it felt that way. the best thing about CMSF is that everywhere you look you get a sense of belonging with these small, but important details, with this gone...It removes modders to deliver this sense of story in their scenarios, campaigns and stories...
its just sad
I strongly wish that this can be rethought, reimplemented, and our happYness reinstated
