Kerry,
I couldn't agree more. Since BFC first announced the setting for CM:SF, I've said I wouldn't buy it until a WWII mod came out. I just don't get it. Well... I do; that is, I understand BFC was going for the big bucks by trying to make a simulation the military would buy. That had to be part of their reasoning, as well as what you said concerning their attempt to reach a "broader" gamer. But only us old dudes care about "real" war games. Very few young men under thirty could give a s#@t about anything not a FPS. I like playing them too (Day of Defeat). It is sad that BFC made the choice they did because they'd have sold as many CM2: Stalingrad or whatever as they have all other CM titles combined. I guess they didn't make enough money off of CM as they wanted.
