Title: Frontline Tactics: 2025 - a modern UE5 competitor to Combat Mission
Post by: al_infierno on July 14, 2022, 03:50:27 PM
This looks early and rough, but definitely shows some promise.  It looks like the developer intends to address common complaints about CM games which always fall on deaf ears at Battlefront, such as a need to improve their state-of-the-art-in-2005 game engine.

If nothing else, it's great to see Battlefront finally gain some desperately needed competition.  Maybe now they'll be inclined to do a little more than reskin and add new maps to their next title?

Seriously.

I was just cleaning out my old Hotmail account and was surprised at how many old tech support emails I still had courtesy of BF's rubbish DRM! I knew that I'd had to go around the block a few times with them but it was even worse than I recalled.

Well - says its an RTS so not really the same as CM. More Men of War ...

^ I think in the Reddit thread the dev specified there will be a WEGO mode a la CM as well.

New name for the game is Frontline Tactics: 2025.  Still not super memorable IMO but better than the original name (which I've already forgotten despite just editing it out of the title)
