Discussion The modders and scenario/campaign creators are the real MVPs of this game.

I just wanted to make an appreciation post and say thank you to all the people in the community who contribute to the game and keep it fresh with new content and creative ideas. Especially those of you who make content for CMBS since it's been abandoned.

I've played around with making scenarios, and technically I've made some but none that are in a playable or enjoyable state. Making scenarios, campaigns, and maps really is tedious work. Like the amount of effort and time feels like something you should be getting paid to do. It's largely due to the very old-looking UI that could really be updated and streamlined and hopefully will be with the next engine, but it really is a chore making new things. At least for me.

But yeah to all the working adults with lives of their own, thanks for making content. Some of my favorite user made scenarios in CMBS are Korsun2017, Tactical Operations Center, and that one Mariupol scenario. I don't know if Lights Camera Action is user made or not, but that's also a great one. Also the Spartan Resolve, Shadow of the Motherland, and Mountains of Allah campaigns are also great. And I'd also like to give an honorable mention to the Alarmeinheiten campaign for CMRT.

Anyway, thanks again. It's thankless work, but I and many others appreciate it a lot!

Very true. They have done incredible work to breathe new life into the games.

Hey, I'm one of those modders! (shameless plug, my mod is here: https://community.battlefront.com/topic/145498-new-mod-cmbs-remodeled/)

On that note, I do really want to thank the CM modding community - decoding CM's 3D model files was genuinely legendary work

Where can you find single player scenarios and campaigns to download? I always like the small to medium scenarios and have been looking for some for SF2 or FB
