Very good! Fun to read the same AAR from a different point of view.

Oh, looks like you had quite a nice game there! Looking forward to the rest of the report.

Sweeeeet! This is going to be so awesome!

You know guys, that this is like dangling a bottle of water in front of the poor guy crawling down the dusty road, with the tumbleweed! Gimmie!

Psst. Guys, as good as other games may be, Battlefront still don't like comercial link to them on their forum.

And the days roll by, like tumbleweed, in the dusty mainstreet of a deserted town...

Sorry to hear about that, Brit. From what I read on that blog it seems like a tough nut to crack. Perhaps a stand-alone demo with just singleplayer mode would be possible in the mean time?

Indeed there will. Current release date is as always "when it's done", but hopefully during 2009. You can find WineCape's most excellent summary here: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=87188 You really should download the CM:SF demo and try, but from the top of my head; 1 to 1 representation for soldiers, much more detailed and deformable terrain, real-time & WEGO option, dynamic lighting, no random map generator, no cherry-picking forces for quick-battles, just to mention a few.

It could also be a quick way to get some initial testing done when creating scenarios I suppose.

Well, Steve more or less ordered it here, so ...

Thanks for the feedback! I'll start lobbying then.

Brit, any change for allowing AI vs AI for us mere mortals, or is that an absolutely no-go?

Aaaargh! Please, PLEASE make this option available for players as well! I love this feature, but it's so seldom available these days. It's invaluable for testing custome made maps and scenarios in these types of games! Pretty please, with sugar on top?

What?! No fish or oil-field off the Norwegian coast? I'm outraged! Just kidding, it looks great, Brit! Can't wait to dig into this one. Also, I assume we can modify the included map(s) to our hearths content?

Greatest. Game. Ever!

He he, looking forward to it!

EoS has been in beta for a while now and there hasn't been any updates here or on the EoS website, so I'm just curious about the progress?

If you are refering to Iran and/or Iraq, then you may well be correct. I'm not well versed in facial hair fashion there. A friend of mine just finished a 12 month tour as an UN observer on the Syrian/Israeli border, and he comented after seeing CMSF that he hardly ever saw mustaches or beards on males in Syria (he and his family lived in Damaskus). He hasn't said anything about facial hair on Syrian females though, and I have refrained from asking as we don't see them in CMSF...

I like this idea, I like it a lot! You make strategic protection/interdiction important while keeping the user input/management at a minimum. If you create the code for handling this at sea, I guess it would be possible to extend this to ground and possible air as well?

You can check out this thread for lots'a (!) info about the next WWII effort.

Brit; do you use resource files for localization, or is it hardcoded into the engine? If you use files I'll sure you'll get hardcore fans to provide almost any language you want.

Excellent pictures! I must honestly say I'm looking forward to EoS more than CMSF:Marines! Regarding maps, will they be wrap-around or optionally so?

From the BF EoS webpage: "... You can play solo against one or multiple computer opponents of varying skill levels, or you can play with up to 20 human players on the same map, ..." "... Multiplayer games can only be played while connected ..." I choose to assume that this mean you don't have to be connected to play solo. Edit: Never mind! Didn't spot Moon confirming this in the video thread.

I'll add a note about this in the next version Hubert, as I can see this could be confusing to users. pawo

Thanks! I'll look into it.
