Battlefront says:

"Our first expansion module for Combat Mission Shock Force, titled CMSF Marines, is nearing its release date and to help showcase some of the new units, vehicles and features of the game, one of the projects beta-testers has prepared the very first in-game video sneak preview and submitted it as part of our ongoing CMSF Video AAR Contest, sponsored by Matrox TripleHead2Go. Composed of three video chapters, these new vids were captured from a beta copy of Combat Mission Shock Force- Marines and depict a USMC armed recon into some heavily defended enemy infested terrain. Since the videos come from a beta version of the game, please note that they may not be indicative of final game performance, graphics or sounds.

Among other units featured in the videos are various models of the Marine Corps Light Attack Vehicle, or "LAV" including the 25mm cannon armed LAV-25 A2, the missile equipped LAV AT and the command vehicle variant, the LAV C2 A2."

Battlefront is now taking pre-orders for this module. They say it will be released next month.

Preorders get $10 off the regular $25 price tag. Guess they figure too many people who pre-ordered CMSF were so unhappy that would not be any pre-orders without this significant incentive. Still last time I checked you can still buy 2 copies of the Paradox boxed version of CMSF for the same price as one reduced price Marines module.

So is anyone buying this?

[KG_Kharkov]

No interest whatsoever.

[KG_SSpoom]

I will get it.
The game although it is no "CM" is pretty good. CMSFalso shows tons of promise.
Big battles "Real time" are tough to handle and its very hard sometimes to follow all
that is happening. But when I first started playing CC3 I couldnt keeptrack all of that
was going on during that either.

I might buy it when my computer craps out in a few years, but I know there is now way my current pc can handle it. And even then, I'll only buy it at bargin bin prices because I don't have any interest in the setting.

[KG_SSpoom]

They had it for 8.00 at the 1/2 priced books here.
Ill get it for ya Mark and you can pick it up next speing =)

[KG_Soldier]

If you remember, my computer couldn't play the demo on-line against you.

For when you get a new computer......
