Which is it?

Has there been any news of the next game in more than a year or has it been abandoned?

Good Hunting.

I would like to think that abandoned is too strong of a word to use. but I also don't have any news concerning a new game in the series.

I'm not sure abandoned is so much an inappropriate word as it is distasteful when applied to this game series.

Good Hunting.

I see it is now relegated to the "dust bin" forum section. Too bad. This fine game deserves better.

Well, even with the forum being down here, I still watch for activity. I'd still like to see another game in this series, but I know that won't happen any time soon.

Thanks

Status: offline 		It is a shame that no new titles in this series are going to be done in the foreseeable future. IMHO, PCO beats Battlefront's CM series hands down. Don't get me wrong, I am also a big fan of CM but PCO is so much better and could be made even more so with a few additional tweaks (destruction of buildings for instance or them catching fire) and more titles or just units. To develop a tactical level simulation for us World War II fans and leave it at one, that just doesn't seem to do the game justice. I could see new titles or expansions covering Western Europe 1940 through 1945, the Mediterranean campaigns, North Africa, Pacific island hopping, the Balkans, and maybe even a 'what-if' game pitting the German units that never saw combat, or a Red Star/White Star style expansion. However, I feel that once World War II was completed that the series should end there. I know that it takes a tremendous amount of time to develop, or even modify existing games, but I feel that the payoff for all that hard work would be worth it. This is just my opinion and you can't buy much with it. Chris.

Thanks,

Status: offline 		Actually, CM, CMSF, CMA, and CM2 are great games but I like some of the PCO features such as the command & control of the units and how morale of units is handled, especially infantry. I have been a long-time player of the original CM games but it always seemed that units, especially infantry units, had a tendency to move towards a known enemy position if their morale was broken. I also enjoy the way orders are given in PCO more than in CM and the fact that each turn is split into an 'Order Phase' and then a 'Reaction Phase'. This feature allows you to fine tune how you want your units to react, or not react, in a given turn. I also feel that the graphics in PCO are far better than those found in the original CM games. The graphics in the CMSF & CM2 are probably some of the best for games of this scale. I have only recently started playing PCO again but there was one grip I had with it when I played it the first time. It seemed that buildings and other structures suffered no damage as they do in the CM games or that woods or grain fields would catch fire after a heavy artillery barrage. It would be nice if some future patch corrected this but it would be eye-candy, more or less. Of course I wouldn't want a unit in a large structure that collapsed on it. Chris.

Status: offline 		Lin. If you haven't tried Combat Mission: Shock Force, you should. It is far different than any of the other CM titles, including the CM2 titles. Really fun to watch a Javelin FOF missile come crashing down on top of a T-72M or watching a M1A2 SEP TUSK Abrams take out a hull-down tank at 2000 meters. I have actually flinched when I have played it.
