  1. Be aware, if this is the free one that I recently downloaded, it is buggy as hell. Multiplayer is a real pain in the ass. But, if you can get it working, and overlook the crashes, it's fun.
  2. In my opinion, it's not you. MD is doing his best to antagonize you. This is another occasion where he craps all over CMSF and disappears when you counter his arguements.
  3. I told Orville, and I told Wilber, "Those things will never get off the ground."
  4. I found the Quick Battle Generator as a desktop icon. It is also probably under Start - Program files. I tired it and it is very easy to use. Make sure you have choices for both sides. It then will save or launch you directly into TOW.
  5. "I will spend the next 2 on WWII" Woohoo. Steve said CM2WWII is underway and we will have it within 2 years. When can I put in my pre-order?
  6. What part of "Battlefront.com and 1C are now working on some more improvements and additions to the patch" don't you understand?
  7. All I can say is the game is pretty good as it stands. I for sure, have gotten my monies worth. The patch will make a good game great. Sure I would like it sooner, but I know, because of BF's track record, that they will make sure it is done right, so I am content to wait. Have a good Christmas, all BFC staff, and 1C too.
  8. Click on the squad. Give squad a move order. Hover over vehicle and you will see an icon with down arrow (if vehicle can be loaded) Click again.
  9. First impressions - Wow!! Second impressions - Holy crap, this is awesome. Third impressions - Well spent $62. Only complaint - waaa. I want CMSF WWII now!!!
  10. Yes, some of those guys border on fanatical anti-ToWers. Most wargamers seem reaonably intelligent. So we generally understand someone's point the first time they make it. It may take me a couple of times though. But after the 3rd, and 4th and 20th and 300th time, I think we get it. IMO some of those guys may actually be generating new sales for BFC. I know I would be curious to see what all the fuss was about. So they come in here and low and behold, ToW, despite a few warts, is actually not bad. And the upcoming patch will make it better. FFS it was only $50. I have probably 30 times that in games gathering dust. Let it go and move on.
  11. Good stuff. "and the upcoming patch will feature waypoints both for single units and groups of units." "so we plan to implement a LOS tool in the nearest future." Not a big deal to me but it sure shows the developers are listening. and more!
  12. Well I'm getting my monies worth. Geez, I paid $230 to see the Flames play ( they won) so that was $80/hr. A movie with munchies costs you $15 for 90 min ffs. So far I may have put 20 hours in ToW so $3/hr is cheap entertainment. The more I play, the more stuff I find and say, thats' pretty good. Is ToW perfect? Nope. Was CM perfect out of the gate? Nope. I expect (like SH3 and SH4) ToW to get better.
  13. 1) Backup campaign.xml and texts.utf8 files in SINGLE_MISSIONS folder 2) Copy whatever campaign battles that you want to use into the SINGLE_MISSIONS folder. Copy the entire battle folder. 3) Open the campaign.xml file in whatever folder that you got the campaign battles from. 4) Copy the <mission> ....</mission> for the folders that you moved. 5) Paste into the SINGLE_MISSIONS campaign.xml file under the existing ones. 6) Change the numbering of battles to the next in sequence. Or renumber to your liking. Save This will now run the campaign battles in the single mission selection. However the description will be missing. To fix this open the texts.utf8 file and copy the last section. Replace the duplicate names in the copied section with the name of the moved battles. Update the description with the correct one from the Missions - Nationality - texts.utf8 file.
  14. Oh, ya, I'm going to play Tow. You damn betcha. Where have you seen heavies doing CAS? I've seen Tbolts and 110's, and maybe a Russian twin engine jobbie. Plus ToW has the BFC seal of approval.
  15. B17's doing CAS. Ah, no thanks.
  16. You seem to have a better handle on it's availability Dorosh. Maybe you can post some from your collection.
  17. I'd like to see screenshots of shapley Russian nurses sunning themselves or possibly showering after a tough day.
  18. Then don't buy the frigging game! Instead of looking at other aspects of this game that will blow your socks off, you gotta whine and moan.
  19. No, krill is obviously serious. In fact if the HMG's do not have sustained sprint capability, I may pass on this title. At least until the out of atmosphere ocean cockroaches make an appearance.
  20. I don't care what copy protection BFC uses as I am buying the game anyway. (When do pre-orders start?) It is BFC's right to protect their product in whatever manner they see fit. More sales = more$ = more releases. I trust their judgment as developers because: 1) They have/been are in the business for a long time. 2) They are still in the business and give us products that give me good value for the money I spend. 3) They know their market better than I do and it is highly likely they will not shoot themselves in the ass. So Safedisk, Starforce, or whatever is used is ok with me. All I want is CM2 that performs well on my mid-range rig.
  21. "We stand a good chance (yes, I know it's not yet definite) of being left permanently out in the cold. BFC can make as many other revolutionary games as they like, but the effective end of the CM series due to the removal of an essential feature is distressing." No, if PBEM is not incorporated in CM2 then some players who consider this essential will or may not buy the game. "effective end of the CM series"??? Not bloody likely. IMO, CM2 will be the start of a new series of great wargames.
  22. Geez, how many times does Steve have to post this before it sinks in. "Now, it MIGHT be possible to have our cake and eat it too, but the only way to ensure PBEM is to trash these game elements now before putting in another 6 months of development only to find out "whoops... PBEM isn't practical... guess we have to trash the game engine and start over again". The key part again. Now, it MIGHT be possible to have our cake and eat it too So BFC obviously will attempt to get PBEM in. Instead of whining like little children, why don't we all wait 6 months until we get a better idea from BFC about how CM2 really will be like?
