I did the dirty and downloaded that 50 meg CC4 demo!! ANyway - err what a culture shock! Its so flat! WTF!! What's with the rockets?!?! And flamerthrowers too!! ;( Screens look horrid - they need a new graphic artist Tanks GFX look ok to me - other people were complaining about them -= but the colour scheme of the maps is er not easy on the eyes. ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Well I'm a 'lazy' gamer, I prefer to watch more than I play I hate micro-managing! I mean I just want a 90sec turn as an option for single play, so I get more movie watching in each turn. Ok if BTS implemented a Computer vs Computer game mode in the phased style of a PBeM, then I would not need this feature Yes! Actually why doesn't BTS implement a Computer vs Computer mode using the PBeM play sequence?! I would love this, and it would be easy to implement! The AI would do orders for each side in a turn, since it is phased, it would take the role of the 2 players in a normal PBeM. And you would watch each sides movies in turn, and see it from that sides perspective. How about it BTS? I'd really like something like this, I enjoy this type of activity as much as playing against an opponent ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 12-04-99).]

This reason why its playing slowerr, is because the sound was recorded at a higher sampling rate than what the game is playing them aty You'll need to resample the sounds at the correct sampling rate, while maintaining the original pitch - you'll need some pro audio software to do that - I have a whole bunch I use, such as Steinberg WaveLab , SOund Forge snd Coole Edit Pro. I'll be putting up some audio files on my site for Cm, when it is released ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Hi Does anyone feel that 60 sec is too short for each turn??? I just wish there was an option for a 90 sec turn length (even if its only for single player play). 60 secs feels to short for me. ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

I like Crisp's idea, that's cool ccj [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 12-03-99).]

I agree with you 100% All you should get even when its pretty close, is its a Tiger, and if the spotting unit is a veteran unit or higher, they may recognise the model varient or even mis-identify it You should never ever feel 100% certain about anything until a game is over ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 12-03-99).]

Ok BTS I was wondering if the the kill/death animation has been redone, or will it stay the same as in the beta demo? I just find it really cheap looking when a kill is just registered with a ugh and a tugged back soldier - or a squad just disappears whne eliminated. How about a a death animation - so at least we know at a glance when watching the movie that casualties are happening. Have an animated soldier fall to the ground and dissappear - no dead bodies needed just a nice animation for casualties . Have one anim for light casualties, and another one for large casualties or a squad elimination. This type of polish is needed - ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 12-03-99).]

I find it puzzling that you can't ambush without a commander. ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 and Combat Mission photos www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Thanks Yeah I tried recreate that feel of a WW2 news photographer running about with the troops. I am an Artiste you know Should look even better with the final release. ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 and Combat Mission photos www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Better in light Trees than out in the open though right? ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 and Combat Mission photos www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

If you did check out the pics on my Web Site, you can see in my first game at Last defense, I wiped out all the STugs, by charging in my SHeramns and freaking out the STugs - they couldn't see my SHermans, until they crested the slight elavation, the STugs started Reversing Too Late ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 and Combat Mission photos www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

I'm not eeven gonna bother downloading the demo - not at 50+megs on a 56.6k modem, well Unreal Tournament and Quake3 demotest I downloaded, but I knew they would be good, but CC4 been theree done that, I can't believe how flat CC3 looks to me! The only flat games I'll except are ones that look like a boardgame, ala ASL. I'm so used to 3d (I play heaps of FPS games), there is no turning back. ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 and Combat Mission photos www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

ERRR Leadtek Geforce 32 meg card One thing I noticed, on both my TNT2 and Geforce is the mipmapping effect on the roads at view level 1, the road closest to you looks fine, but when you move of to the distance, it goes all block and yuck, I have 12 mipmap levels turned on - on my video cards, so it shouldn't do that (it looks like one mip level) - I just hope its early d3d drivers in the Beta demo ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 and Combat Mission photos www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

I just find the sounds a bit tinny on my Studio Speaker (they are very accurate) - sort of like through a telephone effect. The SOund is SPR sound much better In terms of beefiness and realism, that oooee kill sound sounds naff ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 and Combat Mission photos www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

AAAAHHHHH yes That new green looks much much better! :0 Good to see BTS listening to my complaints about the pukey green Possibly a tad too bright and rich in hue, but I'll still take this over the old one thanks! That new run anim looks good damn give us the new textures for our beta demo ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 and Combat Mission photos www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 11-22-99).]

Hi BTS - do tanks platoons fall under the same CC effects as infantry? I don't seem to notice this in the Beta demo, they pretty much roam around fearlessly ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Yes! Even slow computers can benefit from this!! That will solve the shadow problem...with no cpu hit, and a hardware T+L moon/sun with its position related to the time of day - yes! I must say CM looks a lot better on the Geforce, the colours are very nicely saturated, I'll get some screenshots up, once I figure it out. ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

I just finished the game as the US and got spanked!! Big time spanking! ;( I expected a few AT guns but no, there were none, managed to charge in and take out the STugs, but then got cocky and lost all my SHermans to a sneaky Shreck team (a bold one at that!) Underestimated the German strength in the Left side woods, and moved 2 Platoons there, and most got wiped out while the rest routed back to the Left side buildings. On the right side, and low on ammo, a platoon held on in the woods and in a stone building. I was expecting some more Shermans to arrive - " I don't care how you do it, just give me some those damn'ed Shermans now! ". But they never did And so I had to call a truce. I think I'll be much better at campaigns than single games, which frankly seem pointless to me ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 www.geocities.com/coolcolj/
