The Key Question for CM--Normandy

[KG_Jag]

"What will CMx2 Normandy simulate better than CMAK did? I don't really know what the point is of this one except the looks[?]"

This most critical question is asked on the BF forum by Adam in post #152 here:

Get out the popcorn, this thread might be interesting to follow, perhaps as much for tone and what is not said, as well as what is.

But Bill it will be better in every way because CMx1 sucked, so says BFC.
Based on everything I've read nothing except as you said, looks.

However- no beaches, no bocage, no fortifications, no water, no allies (US only), no editor, no special building interior/combat, no unique infantry tactics, no larger formations, no improved follow the road command (that actually works), no linked campaigns, etc. etc.

But by gosh the units will be 3D and 1:1 scale! They can calm the ballistics/armor/damage modeling will be superior, but then whats the difference between my seeing, "Turret Penetrated" in CMBB and "Turret Penetrated" in CMx2 when what I see is "turret penetrated?"

I'm really looking forward to the, umm, ahhh, what am I supposed to be looking forward to again with it?

I did like Adam's reply in post #182

I did like Adam's reply in post #182, pretty much after that the thread gets sad.

PS- "Steve" has to be the worst PR guy for his own product & to customers in history.

Adam's post #182 is quite possibly the best post ever written to Steve w/regard to all this CMx2 drama.

Could not have said it better myself.

As I look into my crystal ball, I predict that BFC is done & so is CMx2. This is all cyclical, much like the great demise of Close Combat and adventure to CM, a new game will come along some day & we'll all go nuts over it.
