Combat Mission: Shock Force Colorful junk! (new screenshots)

Battlefront.com decided to show off a little more color that's been going into Combat Mission: Shock Force lately by releasing a new set of screenshots from the current beta version. The thing to notice are all the new "flavor objects" which were just added to the game. Some people would of course simply call this stuff junk.

After looking at previous screenshots, some people were saying that our Syrian streets were just a tad too clean. Well, not anymore. There are now dozens of "flavor objects" which can be placed on the map to dirty the place up, and the screens were taken to show some of them as might be encountered in a typical Village setting. The selection includes everything from street lights, crates, tires, to more elaborate stuff like ATM machines and Air Conditioning units for the more urban settings.

A few of the screenshot also show for the very first time the victory screen layout. We discussed more about Victory Conditions last week on the CMSF Blog.

Lastly, for those who look carefully you can see some of the new animations we have added. We feel the new animations give a much better sense of urgency and are visually stronger.
