    Hi all

    Well NBA live 2000 just came out and I've been playing it to death! Well the demo anyway! smile.gif ANd Gran Turismo 2 is about to be released for my PlayStation.

    So I'm pretty occupied now, so unlike the rest of you, I'm not a quivering mess waiting for the Cm demo - I've just earned my 10 th level of patience mastery! wink.gif

    So BTS you can release the demo in December, and make it perfect! While I save for 733 mhtz Coppermine and my Nvidia Geforce 256 video card! smile.gifwink.gif ;D

    Learn from a genuine 10th Level Patience Master - only $50 a lesson. Apply in writing.

    Multiple players per side....

    I was reading about Team Fortress 2 for Half-life, and it has something like this!

    You have players playing FPS as grunts and you have one player as the commander playing the game with an interface like aRTS game!

    I envision one day a game like CM going that way - for online games anyway, some players driving tanks sims, some runnning around with bots as infantry etc - with several players playing the commanders with a RTS interface- that's whaat I call realism! Will you troops obey your commands? You'll have to know which players under your command are green or elite smile.gif etc

    SOunds like fun to me!

    Your right! BEOS is much better than Win 98 - haven't seen win 2000, for games and audio, the code bloat is wasting cpu cycles - my 600mhtz'ed p3 500, should absolutley roast, but it sure doesn't feel that way sometimes frown.gif

    To tell you the truth, if I were to run AmigaDos 3.1 on my Pc (I still own and use an Amiga 1200 with a motorola 030 40 mhtz!) it would roast!! I reckon wink.gif And it fits on one 800k floppy -ok some of it is in a 1meg rom! But still! It does most of what WIndows does anyway, plus it multitasks properly, which I believe even Mac OS can't still do properly wink.gif

    Oh well - they do make Power Pc for AMigas you know - but no CM frown.gif LOL

    ha!

    When the demo gets released - the bandwidth here will be awful! wink.gif People reading chats, 50 odd people trying to download at once! wink.gif ----> I'll try and sneak in at odd hours

    30 fps is the bare minimum for me, I want total immersion, smoothness will help wink.gif

    But I want big cpu power mainly for the crunching part of the game - The less wait between turns the better wink.gif I remember playing UMS 2 on my AMiga 500 - ten years ago, must have waited 10 mins each turn! But it was a cool game - allowing you to create srategic battles/campaigns in any era of history. I think its time for UMS 3 - cpu power has caught up now smile.gif

    hehe

    Well I've managed to get my Pentium 3 500 - running at 600 mhtz today! Rock solid stable - I must have a lucky batch of chips! wink.gif Temperature probe from Abit BE6 motherboard read no higher than 40 deg on the heatsink! I'm at the pointy end now! and saved myself some $1000Aust!!! I compared benchmarks to some geniune P3 600 - any my machine is actually slightly faster! LOl smile.gif

    I can now crank all the options on in CM without hesistation - but yeah a G4 and Athlon are much better

    IS AI INFALLIABLE BTS??

    in Combat Mission Archive #1 (1999)

    Hey Steve

    Even though I want the AI to be super tough, I do get angry when it beats my butt smile.gif I do enjoy totally trouncing some one - something I've done occasionally in CC3 on the MSN ZONE.

    I think, not knowing what the AI has and where he is attacking from, would make you a bit more cautious, don't you think Steve wink.gif I know when I'm playing against a human, I tend to inch my units around the map - death comes quickly when playing against a human ....looks like it'll be the same with CM.

    There are difficulty levels right? Will this tweak the AI or other things?

    This sound great - it looks like the AI is quite varied! wink.gif

    I know when I play CC3 - I always want the computer to be better and beat my butt up - but when it does, I get really pissed (and even try to cheat!) - when a human beats me, they get my respect. Its funny about the differing attitudes wink.gif
