That's about the same as what I've got for my MBP except I've got more ram so that's always a good thing. Did you have to change the settings on your game to run on 1 core as that's what it seems the other threads say about running on multi core pc's? thanks and all best Patrick

Hi Benpark How well does cmsf run on your MBP? Which model do you have and how much ram are you playing with? Any issues installing? all best Patrick

Going on why we are losing Iraq is getting way too political and off topic. I blame it on Rumsfield, end of story. Troopers in the Stryker units I've talked to like the vehicles and the concept very much as it enhances their ability in regards to speed and calling in fireworks quickly. That they are only fighting insurgents/terrorists gives them a firepower edge from the get go is obvious. If they had to go toe to toe against an armored or mechanized force they might not do so well out in the open desert but on foot in an urban area they'd probably outfight their foe. My guess that is. all best Patrick

how will cmsf play on a MacBookPro 2.4, 4 GB RAM, 256vram running boot camp XP? All best Patrick

Having read various reviews on cmsf and after reading this thread I'm glad I made my pre-order. We can all decide how good or bad cmsf is once its out. all best Patrick

Well lets see for us Mac owners if we're going to buy CMSF we're going to also need a intel Mac w/a Nvidia card installed for the best possible experience. That means a Mac Pro with that expensive Nvidia card (512mb) to get all the bell and whistles once the game is ported to the Mac. If that's where it's heading why bother?

Hi could someone check if an order was received for Dropteam by me? I believe I placed an order sometime in June or July and paid for it via my credit card. Moved to Kuwait in May and haven't been able to check my records online as the bank security device to log online has still to reach me and the paper records are still sent ot my old address. The order number is:143694 Was there a problem? If there was please email me at plucero.mac.com or patricklucero1148@yahoo.com thanks

A very good read.

anyone know if this is new?

Aren't Bradley's being outfitted for slats as well? The ones I've seen going up to Iraq look like they have brackets for holding the slats in place all around the vehicle. The slats weren't attached as they were being transported on trucks so I'm assuming the width of having them on would prevent them from travelling? IED's seem to be more effective against Stryker's. The destroyed hulks of Strykers I've seen all had major blast damage. One vehicle had its floor blasted upwards and ruptured from a blast directly beneath the troop compartment. The rest seemed to be damaged from concussion and fire. How that came about I wouldn't know, I'm just going by what I could observe and surmise.

Bradleys are being outfitted with slat cages like the strykers so for close in ambushes they would be well protected against rpgs and 1st & 2nd (?) gen ATGM's. Against MBT's they've done quite well fighting against the Iraqi's with their bushmasters and tows as its all about getting the 1st shot in on target. IMHO CMSF will come down to what we just saw happen in Lebanon to the Israeli armor. Syrian armored forces won't have a chance in a stand up fight and will have to resort to RPG/ATGM ambushes. With the US army's ability to locate enemy armor well beyond the range of the Syrian tanks a smart player would use tanks as bait for the AT missile troops. The point is there is only so much defensive armor you can put on a IFV, MBT or a soldier before it becomes impractical. Having a comination of slat and trophy defences would certainly increase the odds for armor but how effective it will be in the real world means using good overwatch tactics to ensure surviability. That means having JSTAR's, helicopters or micro UAV's overhead with the capability to attack in an instant of a missile launch. Certainly the way things are going tech wise its almost a certainty we'll be seeing that soon.

I was playing a snowing winter QB and I had sight of a Panther for a few secs shot at it then lost the LOS to it. However I targeted that spot for the next minute with my T34l85 while I ran another T34 to the rear of where the Panther was last sighted. After another 2 minutes my tank came up to an abandoned Panther. My opponent confirmed being hit and immobilized on the first hit but his crew panicked and abandoned their vehicle after the barrage of HE I sent.

Hi as far as G4 powerbooks are concerned they can still boot into 9.2.2 for the 1ghz titaniums. However whenever i try to load the ati drivers for 9.2.2 my powerbook crashes. Unfortunately I don'thave the original install disks for OS9 with me here( Kuwait)so I can't re-install my OS and start over again. Will give it atry again after work and hopefully I'll have it running without any issues.

The vehicles are all brand new straight from the states and not reconditioned in Kuwait. If they were reconditioned they wouldn't be sporting new paint jobs and if they were they would probably be repainted in desert beige.

You mean the round thing just under the barrel to the left? Might be a IR light? One thing I noticed is that the interior is quite cramped considering the amount of gear the troopers carry on and with them.

yep, haha! Had to eliminate the background. It1s a 3rd Brigade vehicle before deploying to Iraq.

Great many thanks for the info . hopefully this will work.

Hi . Well I booted into os9.2.2 and tried to install the hotfix. However on installing the driver the installer quit with an error 1 message and then the install disappeared. On trying to restart I then got a finder crash and had to force quit. That happened continuously even after I had gone into the extension folder and clicked the 9.2.2 extensions only box. Restarted and crashed again. Have had no luck.

Hi nice photos. I did a quick search on uploading pics tothe forum and came up with nada. On checking it seems a jpg must first be uploaded to the internet.since an url is needed. How does one do that? Thanks

Hi Guys, Been off line since my last post. I've checked out the ATI site and downloaded their 2005 driver fix for 9.2.2 but on opening the file it came out as a driver for OS X?. Will keep on trying and let you know what happens. thanks hotfix for the help and all best.

Hi looking at the troubleshooting section I found the link to my answer (below) but on clicking the url ATI has redirected the link. Does that mean the latest video driver for OS10.4 is the correct fix? I'm a bit confused there. Otherwise does anyone have the aCTUAL HOTFIX? you can send it to me at patricklucero1148@yahoo.com i'M RUNNING A G4 Titanium 1000ghz, 1gb ram and the ATI Mobility 9000 Radeon. Thanks Patrick Problem: I have a Mac with a Radeon video card installed (8500, Mobility 9000, 9000 Pro) and I am getting what looks like psychedelic graphics displayed when playing the game. Cause/Solution: ATI has just released a Hotfix software update that resolves this issue. The file can be found here: http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4380.html

if you consider that the test review that some of the cm players have seen and the AAR that was posted I think that gives a very good impression of what this game will do and how different it is to CC or EYSA.

Nice photo! Can't we all just get along? Naw it's more fun reading about who and what is an asshat or urinehead. Seriously though CMSF has major differences to Tow. 1. you can enter buildings 2. you have a map editor? 3. on board mortars to name a few. Hope I got that right?

Hey girls from Shanghai, Korea and Mumbai are also pretty hot too! Come to think of it I've seen some Jordanian and Lebanese girls that'll make your head spin. Has nothing to do with ToW, but it is a big world out there.

This version of cider seems very promising for Mac users buying into the new MacIntel systems. If it really works as well as it claims to then I would hope to see all of BFC's Windows games wrapped in cider.
