message: What exactly is the sci-fi background of the second game's tagline?
:actually, its the second game, not the tagline. However, I agree that part was not that well-written, so I've added a few more details. \ wolfenSilva / 08:44, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I can't really see much similarity to Darwinia except from that both games feature squads... Darwinia has other features like commandable engineers, and Darwinian officers that makes it more comparable to some other game (exactly which I cannot say). Basically what I mean is that CF is centered on the squad (making it a "squad-based" game?) whereas Darwinia really is not just that. That being said, I've only played the the demo version of Darwinia. {Cyborg 12:41, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The plot of CF2 was not included with the final game, which is why some of it seemed random.  Stuart Campbell, designer of all the levels, explains all  here.  Someone might like to paraphrase for this article.
Also, one of the issues of Amiga Power originally had the poppy on the front cover as they were previewing/reviewing one of the games.  The original cover appeared in national newspapers and the British Legion complained, so they had to change the cover at the last minute which delayed the magazine release.  This should also be included in the article if someone can get a hold of the AP in which the story is told.

message: Sensible also wrote Sensible Soccer on the Amiga.  For Xmas magazine coverdisks in the UK, they wrote a Soccer crossbreed game.  Further details for this page would be useful. Burns flipper 08:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The version of the music track is more complete than the one that appeared on the 16-bit versions and was recorded professionally. In fact, the menu screen track is also a pared down version of a proper song, featuring studio-standard vocals.
This makes no sense - if I'm reading it right then it's saying that the song was recorded professionally then translated into a computer music file, but it's saying it twice. Cpc464 11:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I notice that it mentioned a PC version in the platforms area in the template but there is no mention of a PC version anywhere in the article?  I noticed this because I actually looked up this article in a moment of fond reminiscing and couldn't remember if I played it on an Amiga or a PC...  so yeah just wondering when the PC version was available etc.

replies: text: Regarding the page views you linked, Memories (1995 film), which has a short called Cannon Fodder gets much more views. If readers are searching for this short then moving this is a problem (not sure if they are though). Gonnym (talk) 11:05, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

text: Support, but include a hatnote pointing toward cannon fodder. I agree with the nominator's rationale, and I think the odds are low that people are searching for Memories (1995 film) by looking up "Cannon Fodder" specifically. The phrase "cannon fodder" significantly outstrips the pageviews of any Cannon Fodder game, though, so I think it's worthwhile that the page with the main "Cannon Fodder" title have a highly visible link to the idiom.
