guachi Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 First Impression: The download was really fast. Thanks for setting put the tubes to feed me pixeltruppen as fast as my FiOS could take it. 3.5 MB/sec The biggest change from the demo is getting to see the Unit Selection screen. It's nuts. In a good/bad way. The amount of choices and fiddling one can do is amazing. Scenario designers should be in heaven. Hmm... does my Rifle squad have an M1A1 bazooka, no bazooka, or a M9A1 bazooka. I didn't mention this about the demo - I assume I'm a minority that has a monitor wide enough to show all four unit order tabs and still have space to spare. In a perfect world, I'd be able to display all four of them at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Dufva Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Must you all download at the same time? I'm getting a meagre 40-50 kb/s and the timer shows the download to be ready after 7-9 hours. There are people on VACATION at the moment ready to waste... errr... commit themselves to ... err... Oh well, I might just leave the line open during the rest of the night. Prepairing for a hasty breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waycool Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Download jumped into the scenario editor to look at some of the units displayed up on a quick map render. Being a BoB fan added a Airborne Parachute Company (Dick Winters we S! you) . Corcoran jump boots, M1A1 carbine check. The attention to detail that BF puts in the games really shows and CBMN is really outstanding addition IMHO (demo time, VAAR and a brief glimpse of game) Cheers.

guachi Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I played the demo and learned the controls. So I chose a small scenario (the tutorial, Roadblock, which I didn't play in the demo It's in the demo, right?) and spent time looking at all the great detail. Well done. I almost feel bad if I play a battalion sized scenario and spend less time ogling the units. Oh... I wish I could play the game in windowed mode. However, the alt-tabbing is stupid fast.

Fenris Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just dropped a medium werfer prep barrage on a French village. Boom! They leave craters, one of which a Sherman tipped into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastiff Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 wow the speed dropped to 50k/bs, 3 hours 37 min; :'( I guess I'll go watch The Longest Day. Remember guys, D-Day is around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guachi Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Another obvious positive impression - The more I play the more I like that crew-served weapons aren't just the weapon and nothing else. In CMx1, the little 60 mm mortars would run out of ammo in 3 minutes and then I couldn't really do anything with them. Now, I have 3 guys with carbines and 1 with an SMG that can do a little observing and overwatch if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJJ Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Wow, wow, wow. The editor looks like it's gonna be awesome! Look for a small semi-historic scenario involving a bridge neat Sainte-Marie-Laumont soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hmm...my first impression is going to be delayed for 8 hours while I download...LOL! I'm sure it's going to be awesome if the demo was any indication! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightlynx Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have to say the quick battle system is outstanding. I had the game auto select units for me and it came out perfect. None of that business from CM:SF where the selection was ridiculous. I love this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnersman Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 My first thought was...."AAAAAH...son ofaa...." Because I left my fast download connection mere minutes before the game was released... sooo...your welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guachi Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 First battle complete! The liberation of Western Europe is on! And it's worth me mentioning it a third time - The Unit Selection for QBs and scenarios is sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyking20_99 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just Amazing. The crossroads scenario (IMHO) is a perfect size. Just what I wanted. Thanks! I know I just got this but do we know what the newxt installments are? sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis50 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 One word... Sweet! Very very sweet. Thank you. I'm a little ashamed to say this but I think I had a tear in my eye of happiness that is. I didn't download the demo ..I waited for the big package. Would I be out of line even suggesting possibly GOTY. Only played for a short while but I'm in awe. Everyone involved in the making of this gem should be very proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom67 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Good timing. Just as I'm between computers, fact, just as I bought the parts for my juicy new one. CMBN would've sucked on my old computer, the demo ran pretty badly, but my new i7 2600k should fix that, right? Riiiiight? I'll make sure that CMBN is the first game I install on it as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
