  1. Reposted because our resident attention deprived child is once again at it.

    So you are now the one who decides what kind of posts is allowed ?

    Please stop this childish behavior.

    What i posted was a question about a possible fix in the Bulge game, its perfect on-topic !

    Because i think your post is really rude toward me (calling me a attention deprived child) i reported it.

  2. How about making the camera come down to soldier eye level? It would make it so much easier to get an overview of the battlefield, and make me feel like I'm standing there myself..

     

    Good for: 

     

    Gameplay

     

    Immersion

     

    Programming time cost:

     

    next to nothing

     

     

    The problem i was talking about (see thread i linked) is this:

     

    In reality soldiers can stay hidden (prone), and from time to time raise their heads.

    In CM, if the soldiers are prone, this restricts their view (ok) but they should from time to time get the LOS as if they were standing just to simulate the ability to stay hidden while still keeping a overwatch.

  3. Aggressive, rude - it is certainly less than polite. If you really can´t see that yourself, then we' re probably at the core of the problem.

     

    Ah, ok.

    But what womble wrote: "Ignore him, he is just a troll" is not rude ?

    I guess some people here can post whatever they want (be it aggressive or rude or insulting), look at the abuse Kettler is taking from some persons here...while other will get banned after being so rude and agressive to say "Who said its only about the hide command ? Its more about Spotters' posture overall."

  4. Really... :rolleyes:
    Can you tell me whats aggressive about the sentence:
    "Who said its only about the hide command ? Its more about Spotters' posture overall."
     

    He doesn't.
    Ignore him. He was quiet for a long time, then people started feeding him again. Unfed trolls depart. Fed ones hang around. Stop feeding him and his irrelevancies will diminish.


    Now thats what i call aggressive and insulting.

  5. The Hide command is working as intended.

    Who said its only about the hide command ? Its more about Spotters' posture overall.

    Anyway, found the thread:

    http://community.battlefront.com/topic/118489-spotters-posture/?view=findpost&p=1587905&hl=hide

    look at post #11 by Tux

    It about units going prone on their own and getting "blind"...which forces you to move them to get LOS again (pretty unrealistic).

    Again, will there a fix for this behavior in the Bulge game (+ Patches for the older games) ?

  6. @ Steve

    As far as i know there is a problem with the hide command or generally spotting.

    The LOS is checked from the eyes of the soldiers so if they automatically lay down it can be restricted to a point were they cant see anything.

    There was a thread about that but i cant find it now.

    Anyway, will the Bulge game fix this behavior or give us a new "ambush" command that puts soldiers into prone without restricting their LOS ?

  7. Any chance that in the future or ver 4.0 will actually use all available cores in a CPU? From what I understand no game/sim uses more than 4 cores and you have processors with 6 or 8 cores available.

    CMx2 uses only one CPU core.

    Anyway we cant be sure the engine will run any better with the ability to use more then one core.

    For example, CMx2 is the only game that uses all of my 2GB VRAM avaiable. I think there is something wrong with the way textures are loaded/used. Could relate to the long loading times too.

    Hope we see improvement with 4.0.

  8. The whole thing about ISIS tactical skills is overblown and mostly their own propaganda.

    Yes, they have a core of very skilled fighters but the Shia militias, Hezbollah and the Peshmergas have them too.

    They excel their foes in two fields, logistics and recruitment.

    They dont need to have "better" fighters, they just need to be able to mass fighters, vehicles and supporting weapons at the right time at the right place.

    They need to be able to have a steady flow of supplies and the ability to hide cells of fighters within enemy held town.

    They need to have the logistic capability to supply fighters who infiltrated enemy territory.

    Then, most importantly they need to be able to compensate their looses. Its already clear that they are currently able to do that.

    The flow of foreign fighters is still there and they seem to conscript young men and even children.

    If you look at how they take territory they mostly use shock tactics, striking with simultaneous SVBIED attacks and activating "terror" cells that have infiltrated behind enemy lines.

    Then, after they took the territory they lay IED's everywhere and leave a bunch of fighters there that are ready to die while fighting a delaying or "last stand" action while they pull out their main force.

    Anyway, as long as the middle east is full of surplus young men without the perspective to gain acceptable positions within society there will be war/civil-war.

    If you look at the birth rates some countries are already on the right way and should be much more peaceful in 25-50 year.

  9. Forget it. Judging by what i have read from you in other threads, i think that your intent is most likely to look up the hardware i bought and then tell me that i either bought it for a bad price or that it' s not good or whatever. And even if you wouldnt find anything, you would probably just make something up. I wont support you trying to piss me off.

     

    And even if the next thing you tell me is that i misjudge you, that' s your problem, i neither trust you nor do i like you, bad luck.

     

    Dude why are you so aggressive toward me ?

    This is a discussion board and if you start a thread boasting about the 3500€ PC you build for someone then expect questions regarding the sense behind this and the hardware used.

    Oh wait, i forgot...this is the sunshine happiness feel-good  place where no one ask any critical questions...sorry.

  10. I have a small 1 man business where i offer diverse IT services for my customers, and occasionally i build custom machines to the specifications of my customers. Like 4 months ago, i built a PC for a customer with a very large wallet: the budget was 3500€ (~4000$) and i built him a true 1337 machine, using only the best components available on the market. He was so happy with his new PC that he gave me his "old one" as a gift. When he brought me his "old" PC, i only took a quick look inside and i saw some dust, 4 physically small RAM chips, a tiny CPU fan and a graphics card of which i couldnt determine the model because it had its panel ripped off. I thought what i got was the usual used PC: 7 years old, Win XP, 4 x 1GB DDR RAM, Intel Pentium 2, and a GeForce 7000 series graphics card or something like that.

     

    Today i was looking through my stockpile of used PCs because i needed some spare parts, and i took a closer look at the PC i got as a gift 4 months ago. It turned out it' s much better than i thought: 4 x 4 = 16 GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM chips, a 3,5 GHz I-7 2700K with 4 physical cores and 4 virtual cores (8 cores in total), a 750 watt PSU and a GeForce GTX 580. That' s some really good stuff actually. Togather with the mainboard and the tower that' s gaming grade hardware probably worth about 1300€  (1500$) :D. I would have never bought such expensive components for myself, but i think i will probably add an SSD + a new CPU cooler to the package and use it as my new gaming PC :D. I am really happy right now, my business isnt going particularily well and i hadnt planned on getting a new PC anytime soon :D.

     

     

    Sorry but no one in his right mind would spent 3500€ for a desktop pc (+ the money for you to build it).

    "using only the best components available"...you mean all the greatly overpriced stuff nobody actually need ?

    I actually doubt his new pc will be that much better then the old one...

    He could have just updated his old one for 500€ and would have a killer pc.

    What did he say, what will he do with his pc...casual pc stuff and gaming ?

    Did you recommend him to spent less money initially but he refused ?

     

    Sounds like you had a hard time spending all 3500€ on just one desktop pc, you could have build 3 killer high-end machines with that money...

  11. I agree. The performance and texture rendering in the game have come a long way since the earliest days of Shock Force. Battlefront well understands their customers don't all own thousand dollar hypermachines, and they've made it a stated goal to steadily improve performance for older computers.

    The problem is that CMx2 runs rather badly even on some, high-end PC's (drops below 25FPS on medium sized battle) if you not significantly reduce details (mostly models).

    That should not happen.

    Also, the loading times are too long. Loading big CMBS scenarios takes me and others 5min...

    I hope this can be greatly improved !

    @ Steve

    Im not trying to Troll.

    Would a troll have supported you by buying CMAK, CMSF, Marines Module, British Module, CMBN, v3.0 Upgrade and CMBS !

    All i do is criticize some aspects.

  12. I'd expect each family's upgrade to 4.0 to be a separate $10. That's how it was with FI and BN going to v3 when RT came out, and though they're comparable, almost-identical code bases, they are different, so many of the overheads of creating the upgrade (playtesting, for one) have to be redundantly gone through for every title. I agree that it's an issue; it's a rod for BFC's back too, which I'll warrant they'd rather not have but architecture is real hard to change and the fact that BN remains on the upgrade path at all is frankly a miracle in coding terms, since it was never intended to be upgradeable.

    What playtesting ?

    The scenarios are not updated at all.

    And what miracle ?

    No matter of CMBN, CMFI or CMRT, it the same game essentially. So how should a engine "upgrade" with a few additional features be a miracle ?

  13. when u were upgrading CMBN and FI with 3.0 upgrade, you did it with the same upgrade (same Key) or you bought 2 different v3 Keys? 

     

    it should Remain the same

    You will have to buy two separate keys each 10$ (remember, scenarios are not updated and are probably not working correctly).

    Its insane how long it takes to get the new Repository working...maybe better just use dropbox and let people post links...
