Been a few months since it was hinted we would find out about something unexpected coming....

Just as long as it's not that Space Lobsters thing again...

At this point,  might be up for that game as long as something new from them:)

Yeah, the silence gets annoying.

What new products we had lately amounts to -what- 2 tanks in CMFB.

Hopefully the Cold War module is well underway.

A brand new social version called a multiplayer engine upgrade that allows coop play? :)

An AI that no longer follows a random choice of 3 predetermined paths?

Space Lobsters: Good. Space Crabs: Very Bad.  :HideEyes: I'd kill for an updated Line of Sight tool.

Years ago, back in the days of CM Shock Force 1 I believe, BF Steve (I believe), with the usual acerbic stabs at the CM fanbase, started saying something like the next game would be 'CM in space' with "Space Lobsters." At first, nobody was sure if it was a joke or not.

The irony is, of course, that he said he didn't want to throw any premature announcements out there, because they would raise unreasonable expectations in the community, and yet he did and now there are

Hilariously enough, as I recall, the whole "no more premature announcements" thing was because they announced release months and then missed them without any notice multiple times in a row.  Apparently putting out a "Hey, we're gonna need to delay this" sometime during the month when it becomes clear you won't hit the deadline is just too much to manage.
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

I'd love for combat mission coop. It can't be that hard, if you can connect for pvp, how hard can it be to have two players on the same side against AI ?  This is why I love and hate battlefront.

"you are the rule maker, the dictator, the mini- Stalin, Mao, Hitler, the emperor, generalissimo, the MAN. You may talk the talk and appear to be quite easy going to foster popularity, but to the MAN I say F*CK YOU." And Steve G is F******g rude ? Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

I hope that wasn't the new game they were teasing...

The "Space Lobsters of Doom" meme is much older than CMSF. It was around during CMBO times.

Seems like the main person over there only posts on the Ukraine War thread over there, don't see much other communication in relation to their products.
