Meh, where are the King Tigers?

Hopefully as far as possible.

And the screenshots, just lovely. I wasnt much of a fan of the original combat missions but that might change soon.

The planned addons for the game are US Marines, British forces and European forces (mostly German stuff, maybe CV90s). Should be nifty. More Syrian stuff and "what ifs" will be included too - probably T-90s, BMP-3s, BTR-90s, etc.

I'd love duking it out against the syrians hmmm.

When this game comes out, I'm gonna play Ran as the Syrians and kick his butt.

Is there any projected release date at the moment? I saw on the forums people were saying maybe around 6 months?

The game looks amazing

Even if you do, be sure that I can severely kick yours at MS Minesweeper

Is this thing round-based or RTS?

Both. You can pick either mode.

Looking forward to this. Not really into strategy games on the whole but FPS games are becoming less and less appealing because of the form > function priorities (ArmA included).

Well said.

You can play in realtime? Battlefront will not stick to "WeGo" for CM:SF?

Anyway I am really looking forward to this one; suppression fire, morale, realistic artillery and air support - all the things that even Ofp/ArmA lacks

cheers, looks like an awsome game

[Shashman 0]

Definitely on my most wanted list.

Finally, moving away from WW II. No disrespect meant or anything, but in terms of games, i think the theme has been done to death.

Plus look at the attention to detail, for a strategy game

Very nice, I'm looking forward to this. I enjoyed all their WW2 series, this looks quite promising, but I was kinda hoping they'd stick with WW2 and bring us yet another kick ass expirence.

[sanctuary 19]

Very impressive.

To think this game is a wargame , a genre that usually does not focus primarly on eye candies, but the infantry guys not only are animated , but they have reload animations that actually remove and replace the magazine, and the Abrams have actually suspensions working while moving
