Not bad to hope. Everyone who has worked on it seems extremely happy with the product that you will get to see when its ready. CMBO will be hard to beat for initial "wow factor" if you were around when the demo came out. BFC now has a pretty good track record and sometimes you guys expect way too much from them in that respect. While there are similarities between CMBO and BFN, this is not just some free revamp with better graphics. But I guess we shall find out what you guys think in the near future.

You cannot edit forces or organizations in CMBN. You can however rename the units and use say "airbourne" forces to simulate US Army Rangers.

I dont think its that they dont wanna give you it, just that they dont think they can do it right.

Correct term has been officially changed to Release Candidate or RC. :eek: That theory, much like Steve's estimation of when stuff should have been ready are open to wide debate usually, though we hope you are more right than Steve in this instance.

This would be the absolute best candidate for a redo ever.

Cant say that now.

Damn, you non testers havent even seen the new maps, how can you say if you prefer them to random ones anyway? I will say this one more time..... THERES SOME AWESOME QB MAPS. They dont suck and you dont have to preview them anyway. Another thing is there will not be a random map generator. End of story. Until you guys get off this CMBO trip, you wont see CMBN for what it is anyway. Stop living in 1999.

Well we "BETA TEASERS" still havent got it yet so you guys will not be getting it either! Yes I know I didnt add a T on purpose.

Well I have played CMBN QB's for many months now and I have yet to get through all of the ones that have been made. I am not even close to being bored with them, and its like 400 times better to play on user created maps than the Random ones in CMBO. As for not wanting to pick a map by looking for it....I dont wanna make coffee everyday, but I do cause it beats going to Starbucks for inferior coffee.

BFC in no way is trying to send you to a shrink, unless they are going to get some sort of kickback.

I think BFC is ok with not playing the same games that the bigger publishers play. The quality of CMBN is right up there with bigger studios. They havent let greed get in the way of what they want to do. I bet this game sells 300k plus copies so I am confident no one on the team will starve, Steve will get his uniforms, Moon will get to stay employed, and MikeyD will get to add little small details to the graphics that I dont even notice needed attention until he redoes it like 300 times!

I would do a snatch and grab mission on BFC headquarters and hold Steve hostage for a CM based PTO game. Not gonna happen, most likely ever (From BFC anyway), and I am more sad about it than you can even imagine.

The map makers have done a great job guys, you dont have to fear seeing hastily designed maps from these guys. While most are smaller ranged battles than Batt or Regimental sizes, I have no doubt the coming years will have more of the huge ones you guys are pining for.

I wouldnt call 4x4km a limitation haha.

I would hardly call the MAC version a port yllamama. If you do most of your gaming on a Mac, I would think thats probably your best bet here as well. Ask Steve and Charles which platform they prefer.

BFC is used to the whining after 11 years. Maybe they can release the beta but not provide the keys to it.

No imminent BFC release is complete without these types of threads. Takes me back to when it all began. I was almost camped in hall way of my apartment at the mailbox to make sure the mail lady didnt just set it on top of the boxes for someone else to enjoy. Man how technology has changed.

Well noob, you asked for it tho bro. You have met wargamers before I believe, they tend to come off wrong sometimes even though that wasnt their intention. Anyway after the game is released is prob a better time to gain recruits considering very few people post here and a lot will be looking here when the game is released.

I would guess they will have plenty of mod's out there. Even some of the testers have made mods already so since there are few of us and hopefully many many many many of you, stands to reason there will be quite a bit. (no mod was ever better than the Japanese conversion for CMBO). As for community sites, there used to be a webring for the old CMx1 games. One of you guys could possibly make it easier for you guys to all be known.

Steve spends more than that to house Charles' brain in a jar or alcohol, I cant remember which is true.

As I said earlier..... some of the guys have created FANTASTIC maps. Some are jaw droppingly detailed and one or two you forget you are fighting a war and wish it was where you lived. No lie, no spin, no fanboi hooey. Then theres some I have created that will make random maps a necessity! J/K

Well the testers are not aholes and thats one of the reasons we are selected. We can talk and play well with others. Kinda helps in the getting things done aspect of the game. We dont come and post here to talk crap or berate you guys but sometimes a few of us have been less than jovial at the prospect of having people insult us for something we work pretty hard on. There's definitely been far worse posters than this guy though. I was even guily of being far worse than this guy once.

Well you guys can thank MarkEzra for compiling and making sure the maps are better in the QB component when you get them. Not sure how many he made personally, but whomever made some of them have done a better job than any random map maker would ever have done. As for the AI, sometimes it really does a fantastic job and makes even better decisions than you will. Sometimes its less than that to be honest, but on average I think it does a good job. As far as SonofDiablo. Man you need a hug or to get laid or something. If CM is all you've got in the world then even Charles isnt talented enough to program what you require. I especially laughed when you likened Steel Panthers random maps with random maps of CM games haha. If it was that easy then even I could program that. Thats like comparing a tree to an aircraft carrier.

I like whatever I get to be honest. Infantry, Infantry, and more Infantry has been the most fun for me especially with how much the graphics are improved over CMx1.

You guys are kidding right? Already mad at a licensing program that gives you 4 activations and you havent even used it yet. You guys need a cup of coffee, a hug, or a nappy. Some of you even complained about e-license for CMSF. Not like BFC doesnt have a right to protect its product from being pirated. Oh well cant please everyone I suppose. But unless BFC goes to a F2P format, you guys are gonna have to deal with some form of copy protection. Thats the reality and that will not change.
