My experience with CMSF is that the AI just sits in a corner of the map during Quick Battles. This is a result of the Ai needing scripts for each map. Even if there is a script, they may not use it effectively. And force selection is broken.

I believe the WW2 titles have better quick battle mechanics. But i still believe QB is more geared to human vs. Human.

I'm still surprised they haven't produced videos or better documentation on creating QB MAP's with good AI plans, there are only a few third party QB maps for each of the games. Nothing seems to have changed or improved in this area to make it easier from CMSF. The problem with creating your own QB's is, after all your hard work on the map and AI plans, there's no point in playing it because, you already know what the AI is going to do.

Given my recent run in with their DRM, I'm passing.

That's probably cutting my nose off to spite my face - but still...I did have an issue and I'm not willing to part with my money to tell them it's OK to put that DRM in their games.

I am Non-CM resistant. I will buy it even if I have to buy the Market separate from the Garden. :-\

I own everything up to and including CMFS but, none of their CM2 WWII game dues to their DRM which only seems to get worst with each new release. Basing a DRM on a non-changing PC configuration was just plan dumb!

Well too and because I like playing these titles in real time. :'(

I used to be the same - I really did. No more. I am burning that bridge.

I am undecided myself although originally I thought it was a sure thing and was even going to pre order. First version I didn't. Not really because of drm but because so many new games recently, plus this series is one I always think I will play a lot but don't end up playing much for some reason. We'll see.

first time for me too, no particular reason, theres just a whole lot of big games out there calling for my attention, and this is a bit seen it, done it, played it for one hour and wondered why i spent another 35 pounds on it

The way I look at it, I'm getting more toys, more maps, more MP opportunities, all while funding system improvements and making the way straight for the EF expansions.

No-brainer for me.

Best,

They should've done.. Base.. then expansions... breaking up into multiple bases is ridiculous.. I think it hurt their sales as well.. there's a heck of a lot more posts in the CMBN forum than CMFI... At least this will work with CMBN, so I might get it..

Again, like others have said, DRM is a possible deterrent.
