now that cmbb is out I hope when their done patching it they can go back and fix the mp bug in cmbo. Everyone I talk to I pour on the praise for bts but my one beef is that I never considered cmbo finished considering it had a showstopper bug in mp. And I really took offense that they said nope its done now no more patches when mp is flawed. So anyways I was wondering if anyone has heard wether or not this game will be fixed. It wouldnt be a concern if cmbb would have included the western front vehicles(which I still think is horrible that they were not included only because it could create a situation of historical inaccuracy; not like they had to be included in the scenarious but just left in so we could take advantage of the new engine with western front vehicles), then I could have fun in mp with said vehicles but due to this oversight I have to stick with the dated engine that wont even run properly in tcp/ip. A game is not finished if you cant run it in all of its modes without crashes. So if anyone has any news as to wether or not this game will be fixed Id appreciate the info. I have been playing this game since the start and waited for cmbb to come out b4 asking again for mp to be fixed. I hope they will give me one more example to show my friends why bts is the best company, period.

I dont see how it matters if sending snipers ahead as recon is gamey or not, considering that in any case snipers will be sent ahead of everyone else on sniping missions you have no control over how much info said sniper is going to give you. Im not going to stop sniping missions because the game doesnt factor in the fact that my snipers dont have radio contact with hq. Some gamey issues are going to exist with no remedies for them because thats the way it was coded. I dont to take advantage of minor flaws in the game mechanics but I wont change my normal strategies because it may give me more info than a real commander would. Snipers were sent behind enemy lines and I will do the same with mine, if I get instant information on troop positions as a result well so be it. I mean really whats more gamey the info I get from that sniper or the fact I know the dispostion of all my forces at a click of the mouse. Its a game and to make it work sacrifices have to be made, Im happy with decisions made by bts in regards to the way info is relayed and respect the fact that they did the best anyone could possibly do to overcome these issues.

I agree with the shock condition, sure if it was random for wether or not the vehicle can move while shocked would be nice( though no firing;loader would be close to commander and would prolly be busy patching him up or freakin out as he's covered in his comrades blood). In 'Tiger Ace - the life story of panzer commander michael wittman' it describes when he gets wounded in his stug III by shrapnel; it describes how his crew immediately attends to his wounds and goes on to say that a few minutes passed while they tried to stop the bleeding then goes on to say how his driver moved to a patch of trees and stopped there. Another thing to consider is these men more than likely became close friends considering the amount of time they spent with each other(even if their not close friends someone getting wounded or killed that you have been in close contact with would still shock a person) and finding out your bud was hurt and possibly dead would shake you which would make driving, aiming your gun etc harder to do which could account for a delay in them reacting to threats. Not to mention distracting them from the immediate fight around them and considering the commander has the best view they would have lost their eyes and ears.

I was wondering if anyone knows wether or not cm2 will let you use all of the units from cm1? Would be nice to be able to have 'what if' battles (US vs russia) Any info would be appreciated thnx in advance. BTW my apologies for dropping out of the scene for those who know me.
