Oke..this is a sad day in history. Here's a quote from the Homepage (mainpage) of Battlefront.com
"You won't find any of the buzzword "RTS", "1st Person Shooter", and "Hunting" copycat stuff on our site"
I didn't...until today...i'm sad...feel like crying...and canceled my preorder.

I believe the (beta) demo will be out in about 3 weeks, if everything goes according to plan.

Nijkerk, Netherlands
Not much to say about it, flat/rainy/15 degrees...bit like a bad dream going on and on and on and on and on and on and on....

I was always told that getting married (or being) makes people sarcastic...i believe Fionn demonstrates this very well
But, nice to see yer still alive my friend

I think the controls in CM won't be very hard. You might have some buttons to rotate the camera, but these are (i believe) also in the bar at the bottom of the screen. You probably will play 90% of this game with your mouse. Then again, i haven't played it...so don't take this for granted.
The hardest part of the game will be figuring out what weapon does what damage to what vehicle. I don't think BT will be doing a big manual full of info on each unit used (it's in the game already), also because most people here know what happens when a Tiger meets a Sherman.
Take care.

I have no troubles when a high-spec machine is needed to run a certain game, as long as the player has the option to change the graphic and detail-settings to a playable degree. When a game is really really good i'll be playing it for some years, and fortunately i have the option (also known as money
) to buy a great pc every year.I hate it though when a game get's 3d-accelerated graphics because it simply won't run in software mode (lousy programming).
When "M1 Tank Platoon 2" came out i could barely run it (i had a voodoo1, 64mb ram and a p1 166mhz). Since over a year now i have a p2 333mhz,128 mb ram and a TNT2 32mb card, and the game runs smooth as silk in full detail. Because i could lower the settings back then i enjoyed it, and since i still have great graphics 2 years after it, i still enjoy it.
When i bought iPanzer '44 (don't start flaming me) some years ago...the graphics sucked and so did the framrate. Now 2 years later, the graphics still suck and don't ask me about the fps. In other words...lousy programming.
I support BT for their PoV..BUT when all is done in a proper way, i don't mind.
Take Care,

ps. Braveheart is, although the programmers say it isn't, just badly programmed. Sometimes i have battles as large as...somthing large...and the fps are above 25. Sometimes i have very small battles (1-5th of the former battle) and my fps drop to under 10.
This has nothing to do with a "capable-of-running-a-small-planet-computer"...unless that's a anagram for "i-stink-at-programming".

Well BT, to be honest, when i'm walking through my lovely little country called Holland, i can't help thinking why an aggressor would attack it in the 1st place...this place is boring (not to mention rainy and flat)
On the other hand...he wouldn't be an aggressor if he didn't
And although Marketgarden was destined to be a bit risky...it was, imho,one of the most interesting battles of the "BIG 2"
Take Care,

I was at the "Marketgarden Memorialday" in Arnhem yesterday. Was good fun, old veterans parachuting down...as they did a long time ago. Most funny part though was me having a converstation with one of these veterans, and he told me he played Steel Panters and Close Combat a lot. Ofcourse i told him about CM and his eyes startd to shine
He told me he would check out the site, so when he does...give him a warm welcome
One stupid thing though, i didn't ask for his name
Anyway,
Stil waiting for CM (just let them know we do guys, let's make sure they won't eat/drink and sleep before CM is on my desk
Take Care

Well, as long as it was some Dutch Brewsky...ya have nothing to explain

Ehm Martin,
Where exactly was i wrong? I believe we said the same thing, right? (with movie-saver i mean saving yer movies to yer hd, so you can review them later, i thought this wasn't going to be implemented from scratch.....or am i wrong?----> God, here we go again
-
I believe that as it is right now, there won't be a movie-saver from start, but i believe they are working on it.
As for the camera angles. Judging from the pbem-game and movies it's possible to rotate the camera. Don't know if it's handy during play though since yer screen is full of panzers...flames..infantery. I'm affraid the fps will drop to zero.
Anybody..do correct when i'm wrong

Marko:
Here's a quote from Lord Flasheart himself:
Is that a canoe in yer pocket, or are ya just happy to see me ?
WWWHHHHHOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFF

Since i have nothing better to do, here's one of my favourite ww2-quotes:
"No man has ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it...by letting the other poor dumb bastard die for his".
"Patton"
Maybe ya guys can post some of yours, because i'm bored Bored BORED !!!

And ya never get bored? sjeeeeesh

Yeah, something like "Hey woman..why don't ya come upstairs and i'll show ya my SturmTiger". Let's see if that works
-
Well....actually i don't cry but curse too.
But cursing is bad and crying brings me in contact with the sensitive-me. Women dig that

Ncrawler,
i believe a beta-demo will be downloadable for eveyone. So in one way or another we can say later to our grandchildren "Hell, grandpa has been a beta-tester for the best world war strategy game ever existed".
Ofcourse these kids reply with "Really grandpa? Ya mean Combat Mission 8? The one settled in ww5 in the Middle-East?"
DOH !!!

Fionn,
there is a free program called PINO. When installed ya can use it as a "realtime-chatboard". The "host" needs the server- version and the guests the normal-version (both versions are under 200 kb). Ofcourse i have them both (don't remember where i got them though). If yer interested i'll mail it to ya.
To all the other peeps: If the program is going to be used..i'll try to remember the official-site where i got it. Otherwise i'll mail it to each and everyone who wants it (friendly not?
).Take Care y'all

Wittman's face? Don't think it will work. Ya see...people who actuallty came near Wittman in order to determine how he looked like...died in 3 seconds. Unless ofcourse ya want to paint it just to scare yer own men
-
The textures are absolutely gobsmacking guys...so i won't change those
Just the insigna's i might change a bit. Thx for the replies.Take Care,

Howdy folks,
Are the texures (for the tanks) just bmp/jpg-files in the root of the game-directory?
Would be nice to be able to edit those in a paint-app. Imagine: Creating own camouflage or even insigna's. Might not be realistic but it would be fun to see Kampfgruppe PanzerShark with their own logo

Try the Braveheart-Motion-Picture-CD.
The battle hymns are very nice (and has bagpipes

Thx, that's a big relief
Mg42 greatest weakness
in Combat Mission Archive #1 (1999)
Posted
I think the biggest problem of the mg42 was:
Not being inventid by the Allies
Would have made d-day slightly easier
