Hopefully this means they can set about fixing the bugs in the version 4 updates of the other CM2 games which have made them pretty much unplayable for the last two years. Although I won't hold my breath.

i can fully understand the niche market etc, as war gaming at times does seem to be, but i can't justify that sort of price for a game, no matter how good it is or not, yes there's a demo so you can try before you buy etc, but still, that's silly money in anyone's books, so fully agree, not for me, i'd wait until half that or more before i'd even think about it

that price is for the entire bundle, you don’t have to buy every module. it’s just like expansions and dlc for other games,if you buy them all certainly can be pricey but you don’t need to buy all at once so that is a little misleading. matrix has its own pricey games such as was world in flames (bought fior $99), command ops when it was here was like $80, believe command naval operations was in $80 range (add all its expansions and much more than cmsf bundle).
now whether you like the series enough to purchase is a different story but the price itself is not extremely crazy as being suggested especially for a war game and smaller customer base.

In addition, if you own CMSF1 and it's modules, you can upgrade everything for $35.

Yeah, just found this. I might, after I recover from Xmas expenditures, take them up on the offer. I hope it holds true for awhile. Beats the heck out of spending massive amounts of capital.

I planned on taking advantage of the $35 offer, too. Also glad I have not upgraded everything else past Engine 3. Was not aware 4 was so buggy. Even at $35, Battlefront installs make me nervous. This is supposed to be one big download exe.
If you have CM Black Sea or some of their other stuff, it's a tough call at $125. In fact, I would just go with Black Sea and be done with it, as the fighting the Syrians in the desert thing was not so exciting in the first iteration.

i think it is a matter of choice on content. i own every cm game including the ones you mention but for some reason i always played cmsf the most, maybe just because it was the first one released with their new engine. therefore fior me personally, getting cmfs2 is a no brainer especially for only $35.
it does come with one large install file which i think actually makes installing easier. although their drm activation process is a little crazy, but it literally took me less than 5 minutes to figure it out and install.

For someone new to CM who wants the modern gear I think this is a better start, because 1- The terrain is more open so scouting is alot easier 2- In theory all the user made content and CMSF content will work in CMSF2. Not sure when that will happen though. So in the end you will have alot of content available, as happend with CMBN.
The whole CMSF2 enchillada gets you 85 scenarios which is not bad, but I still think the added DLC´s at $35 is quite expensive compared to the core game.
I personally like the "Desert Rats" feel of CMSF [8D]

If your still interested in CMSF, you can always buy the DVD Paradox version which is what I did for €15 on eBay which dosent check for s/n.
Just a thought...

Battlefront - while I have the games and love them they are not my cup of tea as a company. Simply stated if you get one of their games as a gift - it’s the gift the you keep giving to. Lol

IIRC e-License was for CMSF1 only, since CM Normandy they have used a different licensing scheme. It has been many years since anyways.
CMSF2 with all of the modules is a great deal at $125 imo, there is a ton of content and hundreds(understatement) of hours of gameplay. The $35 upgrade for previous owners is a steal and no-brainer really, more of a thank you from BF.

So what type of licensing do they use now?

For 4.99 $, you can have delta force, the graphics are as good, you play in the desert, it avoids the complicated lines of sight that require a complicated game engine and therefore more expensive and then at the same time that you leave your new game you remove access to the old game to avoid competition.
