Textures are the "skins" of the 3d-objects so to speak. The do not ALWAYS need to be tweaked but it gives some extra options if you do (for example pasting your own logo on a Tiger

of Yahoo that is
So i was wondering...is it really needed to sign up with Yahoo BEFORE i can see the potd's on the CM-Yahoo-club?
I don't wanna miss anything but i really REALLY hate Yahoo >:

Oke, what am i missing? Everybody is gone, and my question unanswered. Did the gold came out and am i missing the dl-site?

Call me dumb or anything, but what is the BIG surprise? The movies, the "special potd, or none?

Anyhoo,
happy holidays Mad

Is this coincidence ? Me not think so
On the other hand...i have no idea what it would mean either...except that 33333 is a lot.

I think i didn't make myself clear about the publicity stunt. What i was trying to say is:
PCG is one of the biggest (maybe the biggest) PC-Mag in the USA. To me it would be "logic" to contact those people and say "ooooiiii YOU !!!! PC-Mag-editor....i have a fine game...LOOOOK !!!".
BTS has as far as i know not done such thing yet. There can be multiple reasons. Ofcourse it's extra work, it takes time, etcetera. It could however also be a "way" to conquer the market: Launching CM all of a sudden with a BIG BANG. That's why i was wondering if this thing would be a good idea, or that it only ruins BTS's strategy to take over the world
"I've seen previews and hype start for some games years before they're released (Daikatana, anyone?"
Well, that's exactly my point. Who started this campaign? All the gamers? No it was Ionstorm itself. I think every pc-mag has a Daikatana add since 2 years ago, every month.
Therefore i think it's just a save thing to wait for Steve or Charles to reply.
That's all.

Oke, call me silly, but i see us readers as "sturmgrenadiere" and BTS as our "commanders". Now wouldn't it be logic for BTS to give us some orders? Like..."go ahead...sent those mails"?
I mean, CM is something that, IMHO, will be the game to look up to for any other wargame. BTS knows this, yet they do not give interviews or other things (yet) to the "better known" magazines. Sure there were some, but mostly at sites i never heard of (and i use the net for over 4 years now).
Could it be that there won't be a BIG commercial because of money-reasons...or does BTS want to keep this game a bit on the background UNTIL it is released (for strategic/commercial reasons).
If it's the latter it would be a bit painfull if we all started spamming PCG

"REDUCES OUR STRESS LEVELS"
After reading your post my stress-level has gone haywire.
Anyway, just wait for BTS to post something (info or gold-demo). Asking constantly won't speed up things. If they say "it's done when it's done", it could mean 3 weeks...and even 2 years or more.
Even IF they were giving a release-date i wouldn't put my money on it. Why? Just take any other game existing. I can't remember a game being released at the FIRST release-date mentioned.
IIRC, BTS were going to release CM in the summer of '99...later during that winter. It never happened. How would you feel when such game (much anticipated if i might add) gets postponed all the time? You would prolly feel sad...very sad. You don't have THISfeeling NOW...you are just anxious. Personally i'm rather anxious then sad
Anyway, i'm sure BTS will release CM when it's done and no day earlier. Just sit tight, relax, take it easy...take a...Tiger or something

As far as i know it's a "vote" you have to mail to the PCGamer-staff. But i'm affraid that when everyone on this board mails this staff...CM won't reach the top 10. It would be nice for BTS ofcourse, but if you look at the other games (Diablo2, Team Fortress 2, Duke Nukem Forever), which prolly get over a couple of 100.000's votes, i don't think CM will make it.
But maybe we can make the PCG-staff aware of the game, which might also help.

I always placed my satchel-charges near the extraction point. Then when the chopper came and picked us up you could see zillions of explosions. That was my way of telling that we had left the perimeter
I enjoyed the game immensly, leaving wounded seals behind (not realistic but fun) and then picking them up on the way out. Crawling through rivers, calling support...aah memories, sweet memories.
Great atmosphere...if i'm not mistaken i have it around here somewhere...quick install then

How about a Tiger-model from Cm crushing over all the 2d-screens from cc,sp and the likes

Well 1st, i dunno the correct answer since i'm not building the manual (thank god
.However, some of the screenshots showing the editor gave me the impression building a lvl is very simple. Just click the needed tile and yer done.
However !!! Building a GREAT map and make sure the units for both sides are balanced might be another story.

I think it's the VRAM you can't live without. I'm not sure about the following but instead of a voodoo 3 i would go for a tnt2 ultra (better/higher VRAM). Once again not sure though
(not even sure if a tnt is availible as a pci-card)Hope it helps.

Didn't he respond with:
Yo SHE-BITCH....less go?
brings back memories though

Well, it's not a BAD movie. It has some good scenes, nice scenery and sounds. I just had the idea the maker wanted to give the viewer an idea how bad it was (mentally/physically) for these soldiers. Personally i think he failed a bit. Maybe if the movie lasted a bit longer then 90 minutes the characters would have gripped me more. Right now i couldn't care less or feel sad when a "main-character" died.
Not bad...just a tad too short.

I saw this movie to kill some sparetime. Although i did not enjoy it, it did raise one question. What were those tanks supposed to be? A Stug? A mark IV? I realy have no idea. Since it must have been a bad replica i wondered..of what?
Any thoughts?

I once bought a *censored word* called "Offensive". It was a highly accurate warfaregame featuring realistic weapons and vehicles...or so they claimed
I believe i installed the thing, played one scenario, started to cry and vomit. After i pressed the uninstall-button i suddenly felt much better
I have seen the selfrunning-demo from Sudden Strike and i must say it looks nice. Shame the tanks move a bit too fast
Aah well, gotta do something to get rid of my money

I made a post about this days ago. Search for the post and weep
It was something called "trees, we don't need them" or something.

Well..not exactly, but i have an idea that some of you might like.
About 5 years ago i started using paint-programs on the pc (should have a mac for those, i know, so don't even go there
.Right now i think i can say *bigheaded mode on* i'm doing a fine job altering existing photographs *bh mode off*. Now here's the plan i came up with:
Many people on this board are almost friends to me (not literally..i hate you all
). What i'm trying to say is that when a person creates a post, you can almost guess who is gonna reply and how. I think this is very funny since most of us probably never even met one and other. The idea is that with my "editing-abilities" and your "ugly faces" i could create something like "class of '99", instead it would be something like "CM-class of 2000".When enough people reply i could create a website showing all the edited photo's including some sort of bio of that person.
That way when you are going to PBEM someone, you know what face is behind that polygon-general.
Sounds cool? Hope so.
What do i need? Well ofcourse a scanned picture of you AND the pic you want to be the star in. This last pic MUST be 800x600 or smaller and it WILL be converted to b&w if not already so.
Since mailing me these pic won't be a smart idea (only 5mb mail-storage), it would be best to just post your interest here. I will create the pics in order of the postings so you guys from the US have the first go (although after this post i'll hit the deck, so expect no replies until tomorrow).
If this post is closed because of a million reples (hehehe) you can always mail me at Panzershark@hotmail.com
Do keep in mind that it will take about 1 day per picture (about 5 during weekends). Also i do NOT edit pics which have a sick content (meaning placing your head in a pile of dead soldiers).
So what are ya waiting for it's free, fun and FANTASTIC !!!!

*Not knowing this I had all my FOs in once place, so when the Typhoons and .50cal stuff dumped out of the air all was lost! *
and then:
* that plane won't be bothering anybody any more at all no way no how *
It sure won't Steve, but after reading your post i'm not sure this has anything to do with it being shot down...sounds more like nothing to shoot at to me
Oooh, and cool about the sounds to

Ooooh you said MINIMUM range. Now might be a good moment to stop drinking

Great pics CCJ,
but unfortunately she-males never attracted me enough. So i would have to say: run like hell, or find some gallons of cheap beer before advancing

If i'm not mistaken the 28cm version was about 2km range and the 32cm version slightly more.
