A whole let better than you I'd warrant. How's it feel, to be a cretin who couldn't debate his way out of a wet paper bag?

Go into C-drive, Documents & Settings, your named folder (as opposed to 'All Users' folder), then into cookies folder. Top of the page, use the search icon (has a magnifying-glass icon), search for 'all files & folders' and input 'battlefront' The search will find all this site's cookies. Delete them. Now disconnect from the internet for five minutes or so (unplug your ethernet cable or whatever) and then reconnect. This makes your ISP re-issue you with an IP number. You will then be able to get back to these forums and continue to read. If you want to be able to post again, get a free email account (loads out there) and re-register. These dishonest scum can't ban entire IP-ranges, because they would hit innocent members who might be using the same provider who uses the same range. Sorted.

You're a coward and a despicable bully, and if you ever EVER have the misfortune to run into me at an industry event I will take the greatest pleasure in giving you the thrashing you so richly deserve. I'll be looking out for you, count on it. </font>

Boy, are you ever in for a huge disappointment!

It is indeed pointless, because those who do not like the game, and are able to well articulate their points, have been and are being culled. Either banned or threatened into silence by Moon, one of the most cowardly and dishonest admins it has ever been my displeasure to encounter. Thank god there are plenty of other forums in which to spread the truth. And, by god, it is now my mission to do exactly that. Reap the whirlwind Moon, you shot yourself in the foot big time me old matey. Fact.

Translation: "Most of the biggest flaws are so deeply coded that they're not fixable without a total re-write, so I'm going to twist them to look like they're correct and proper functions so we can ignore them and press on with pointless and inconsequential tweaks". Who do you think you're kidding? Fact: This game is a turd, that is selling like a turd, and is already being flushed due to the slating it is recieving in reviews across the internet. Kiss ToW goodbye Moon, it's gone.

Forget it. These bullies know they've been lumbered with a poorly-selling turd (disregard all their lying claims to the contrary, the reviews are out there and this game is being slated left right and center), and will do nothing to fix it's fundamental flaws. Why do you think Codemasters dropped it? Indeed...think about that.

You're a coward and a despicable bully, and if you ever EVER have the misfortune to run into me at an industry event I will take the greatest pleasure in giving you the thrashing you so richly deserve. I'll be looking out for you, count on it.

And I came here this morning to post my findings. But after catching up on other posts, and seeing that certain other members (paying customers) have been banned for making perfectly valid points, and fighting their corner, in legitimate debate, against those (game supporters) who seek to shout them down, I'm not going to bother. Moon, your behaviour, your disgracelful bias, deliberate provocation and goading of those you have banned, AFTER they have been banned and are unable to respond to your petty and childish provocation ("now you'll have plenty of time to read [because I've banned you"]), is a blot on BFC's once sound reputation. You have, quite clearly, set out to remove all criticism of this game, and once the negative posts have slid off the front page, and all that are left are the shill's and fan-boy's strident shrieks of un-discerning delight, you'll have succeeded. You, and BFC, have zero integrity at this point. You are a bully and a dishonest cheat and worthy of nothing but utter contempt for your cowardly, self-serving and despicable cant. I'm done with this forum. Open and honest debate is forbidden, so long as you twist and distort the definition of those honest things to suit your own miserable purposes (suppression of the truth). To all the members who see this turd of a game for what it is, banned or otherwise, spread the word on other forums how this company has treated those paying customers who had the temerity to complain, and how it has threatened and bullied them into silence. To all those members who like this game, but have refrained from joining in the witch-hunt against the complainers, and have been happy to trade opinion for opinion in open and honest debate, I salute you. To all those members who like this game, and have sought to crush all contrary opinion by joining in with the spurious and contemptible behaviour of Moon and his bogus definitions of what is 'proper' complaint and what is 'whining' and 'ranting', hang your heads in shame. You are a mob of weak bullies and cowards who are unable to carry your own weight in argument and debate and need to hide behind the skirts of a corrupt admin. I have actually come to feel soiled by my involvement with this snake-pit of a forum. The truth has been trampled and free, open and honest debate has been crushed. Cue all the pathetic taunts from the morons..."don't let the door hit you in the ass etc", and so on and pathetic so on. What truly loathsome and despicable human beings you are.

Fair points.

Thread hijacking and ranting about the same problems over and over without any form of discussion taking place. I don't like the game either, but spamming the forums to the brim with the same message is not helping. (on topic) I think the message on the (first & second) patch is clear, I do hope that some internal discussion will take place on (at least) tweaking the LoS problem, not just making a tool that makes the current "spotting through trees & bushes" visible. </font>

Jag, how are you able to play the Falaise mission as a German? Are you coming to it via the campaign? I've played it as an American, but my heart wasn't really in it, so I group-ordered the lot of them to make a frontal assault in the direction of the first spotted PAKs. Ditto for the reinforcements. All my armoured vehicles got knocked out before they'd gotten more than halfway, then three MkIVs and a Panther came in and massacred all the troops. Even at 6fps it was quite a glorious sight. The visual detail on the German tanks is outstandingly good, on a par with that of well made scale models. So, the mission ran as I expected it should. The Ronsons got torched and the troops had no chance after that. I did a few 1st-person views in the Shermans before they died, and they were firing at PAKs way over in the distance that they couldn't possibly see (solid tree canopies and bushes all the way). I suppose if you forget any ideas of realism, and regard the game as nothing more than an interactive hollywood movie, it's somewhat entertaining. If the frame-rates were adequate I'd call it highly entertaining. But as a game? I crave realism, which is why I was so keen on CM for so long, despite it's rather crude graphics. CM was, and shall remain, a grog masterpiece. Hopefully BFC will remember, and re-focus, their vision and steer clear in future of games that don't meet that standard I'll revisit ToW along the way and see how the patch/es treat it, but for now it's off my serious gaming menu (I'll leave it installed). If it doesn't come good I'll chalk it down to experience. Not like I haven't had plenty of those in my gaming life.

Interesting. I say interesting, because the results of your tests don't seem to tally with various peoples' in-game experiences. More than that however, I would expect both Panthers and Tigers to get one-shot kills almost every time against the frontal armor presented by the Sherman hull (assuming that the gunners got their first shots off at least as quickly as the Sherman chaps). Allowing, of course, for mental crews that don't abandon their Sherman the second it gets such a round punched through it, regardless of whether it's a critical penetration or not. Might it be possible that under actual battle conditions the CPU is being overloaded to a point where serious anomolies are creeping in? I'm going to run the Falaise mission, from both sides, and see what I get.

Do you know why you have not found any LOF/LOS problems? It is because there is not any problems. Theres just a bunch a whiners that havent got the energy to sit down and and try the game out, if they DID they would find what you and I have found and that is; it IS possible to move Infantry undetected proning; LOS/LOF IS working but its not an ON/OFF simple LOS thing like in other games, it works by DEGRADING LOS. </font>

Sorry, you've lost me. What do you mean by "other people's parties"? :confused:
