  1. Sometimes I wish we could see your faces and your reactions when something unexpected happens during a turn
  2. Talking about a sweet revenge! One best served...cold Not many players would go for such a bold move. Really nice one!
  3. I'd love to see a video aar of this battle with Bil commentary That would be cool!
  4. That is some high defence here. Action is just around the corner for sure.
  5. Nice, CMSF... still my favorite CM title. I hope some day it gets 3.0 engine upgrade... Great vids btw:)
  6. Did an upgrade today from 8.1. Everything went smoothly in around 15 minutes and no issues with CMBN 3.11. Already had newset nvidia drivers. No activations needed. Cheers!
  7. One thing to remember is that the right flank has poor line of sights even after exiting the forest. You will have hard time seeing all of his positions.
  8. I actually played this scenario about 2 weeks ago. Played also as Allies and got my ass kicked about 3 times:) I was changing tactics and always acted like I was playing the first time. Finally i took only one route (one from your list but not telling wich one) and it turned out really good. Achived total victory. I know that AI has several plans for this map so it has nice replayability. I'am very curious how this turns out for you:)
  9. I'd really like to have a Cold War CM game. Like it was portrayed in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Book. NATO vs Warsaw Pact in Germany
  10. The best way to get help is to open a ticket at helpdesk. I'am sure BF will resolve your issue. http://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com
  11. Just run the setup. It will install everything you need. Just remember to point the right path where your CMBN is already installed.
  12. Thanks for the update! So i guess it's safe to say we have to be patient for another 2 weeks. Can do
  13. Just started watching some earlier streams (US mission). I clearly see that my hair will proly turn white while playing Black Sea. Loosing an entire squad in a blink of an eye to one tank round from god knows where... I'am going to need some antistress pills
  14. I feel your pain. Bought 3.0 couple of minutes a go and now i'am downloading this 10 GB file. Looks like it's going to take me 2hrs. I agree that there should be also just a 3.0 upgrade download. This new aproach with a master installer is obviously a great idea but i can imagine not everyone is able to download such a huge file within a reasonable time.
  15. Ultimate General Gettysburg? Picked that one up. Great game
  16. Steve I have to say that there's a bit of contradiction in what you say. We all know that CM games have very faithfull and loyal fan base. It has been for years. So i think we can agree that CM players would simply never steal/pirate a CM game. And as a developer you must know that DRM is always only a problem for folks who BUY a game. Always has been. Those that are downloading from torrents don't have to bother themselves with any of these restrictions. They have cracks and other stuff. So my question is, for whom this DRM is? Pirates will be pirates, they'll have this game anyway if the want to. Those who pay have to deal with the DRM. That is not fair if you ask me.
  17. I fully agree about the DRM. This has to be the dumbest idea. When you have such a small and faithfull community like BF has, you should do everything to keep them happy and treat them as adults. Existing DRM is everything but that. Remember that lot's of Steam games still uses their own DRM (some with activations limit like DCS). So i would expect that even if BF go with Steam they'd still keep theirs. Also agree on the quality of BF services. The website, store and the whole installing, patching and upgrading dance is a pain in the but and a bit of a joke considering it's XXI century. But i maintain mine opinion about Steam. Yes, it's very convenient but it comes with a high price. Not be able to sell or trade a game that i bought or a possibility of actually loosing it because of some corporate bs is to much for me. Like i said, i've been using it for years but not because i like it but because i have to if i want to play certain games. Whenever i can i buy games on GoG. That's my definition of freedom. I'd be very happy if BF got rid of this atrocious DRM. That would be enough for me. I know that lately they changed the way you install and upgrade CM's. Haven't tried that yet but i think every change is very welcome in this field. And ofc no disrespect taken:)
  18. The "immature" part was regarding age and not behaviour. I just find a bit strange that someone is freely choosing actually less freedom (this is how i see Steam). No harm or disrespect intended to anyone.
  19. IIRC I'am using Steam since 2008. I use it everyday since i have Steam on autostart. I can agree that community there is huge and surely lot's and lot's of ppl would find out about CM. But i have to agree with Steve that those who are even mildly interested in wargames already know about CM and other niche wargames out there. I also can imagine that lot's of folks on Steam after buying and getting familliar with CM wouldn't be very happy with it. It's a hard game with a steep learning curve. It's quite expensive plus i'am almost sure that BF would get trashed over their modules and upgrades policy. Steam community is very demanding. They want lot's and they want it cheap (Steam sales). I bet CM would get tons of negative reviews because of that. And reviews are now a big part of Steam. They are visible to everyone under every game plus there's a summary opinion about a game. So a quick look and you know if game has positive, mixed or negative reviews. Plus there's the activation DRM. Ppl on Steam hate (and i don't blame them) other that Steam itself DRM's that are applied to games. All in all, as much as it might sound strange, CM might actually get bad reviews because of the above. I know that Matrix put on Steam some of their games. I already bought 2 of them - Command Modern Air/Naval Operations and Flashpoint Campaigns Red Stom - both fantastic games. They appeard on Steam with quite a big disscount. But obviously we won't know how much impact on sales this action had and will have in the future. Plus IMHO "no steam no buy" attitude is a feature of really young gamers. I can't imagine a mature CM player who says that. Steam is nice but remember that it's very restrictive and not consumer friendly. Basiclly it destroyed second hand market and you can't even trade games anymore. On top of that Steam can delete a game from your account when you violate the Steam agreement. So basiclly your're renting games nowadays.
  20. CMSF is proly my fav CM game. Love modern era stuff. Eagerly awaiting Black Sea BTW I'am sure there's going to be a demo so everyone will sea if it's theirs cup of tea.
