Ahem! Its hard enough to make an AI unbeatable without cheating as it is........... but fuzzy logic should make its decisions a bit variably from game to game I believe - is it BTS? BTS have you tried running the same scenario several times - what does this cpu do, is it different evrytime? This would help replayability of preset scenarios CCJ

Re: the demo I'm ITCHING! -well I upgraded my celeron 400 to a Pentium 3 500 , overclocked to 575 mhtz - this should make short work of CM, Its about 60% faster than celeron 400 (I've tweaked the cache timing among other things - and its running on the brink! ) ---------------> just need the demo now, I hope I get 40 fps at least Hey Martin (moon) you have a P3 550 right?, what Fps do you get with you Banshee card? My TNT2 (o/c to 160 mhtz) should be a bit quicker At least I'm near the pointy end of Pc now CCJ

Sam as WIn 98? Well that could be a good thing! CCj

He's right! The new leg angle is more real! Who buts all their weight on the front leg anyway?? It looks like they're are doing lunge exercises in the original! BTS fix this shadows can be left out, the new posture is a must do! CCj

hey you play on Mplayer?? I normally play on won.net - the site in HL itself when you go multiplayer - I saw about 12 servers running. CCJ

hehhe Well I got it today - anyway I've got some GIs to kill......Sgt Rock your next CCj

Well I'm waiting for Combat Mission Gran Turismo 2 on the Playstation NBA Live 2000 (pc and playstation) Le Man 24 hour (pc and playstation) Team Fortress 2 and of course -----> Playstation 2 - what a beast! Notice CM is the only wargame I'm waiting for Because every wargame coming out now and the near future is old hat, boring and a been-there-done-that.

Yes! a FPS wargame simulator - having soldiers plus other players playing in tanks ala Panzer Elite would be cool wouldn't it??? What about adding air support with flight sim mechanics? Now that is the future of gaming Imagine an online server with up to 5000 players online - simualting a WW2 battle, with all arms involved! Each person playing from a FPS point of view, or tank sim view, or flight sim etc....and some people playing as the commanders, as in a traditional wargame sense except in this case, battles are resolved by all players involved We'd need some computer grunt, but I think that's the way to go in the future CCj

Heheh hey your right - I did misread it, amazing what leaving out a couple of words can do.... Steve - "but I know Fionn and Martin aren't finding it easy to beat. Not to say the StratAI is perfect and is in need of no improvements (still has yet to learn about keeping HQs close to their units for example), but it is probably better than most final AIs already" heh I thought he said "are" instead of "aren't" Oh well CCJ

Hi No I did read it I'm sure ...Yeah it was Steve that said you and Moon found it easy to beat... I'll try to find the post... CCJ

Well I'm going through a FPS craze right now!! I bought Half-Life (on special now with Team Fortress Classic) - and I love it! Team Fortress Classic is a real hoot! Having 24 people blowing each other away, whilst playing togther as a team is fun beyong words Gives me ideas for CM - but I guess until next CM version..... having more than 2 people on each side - online would be super cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTS please consider! CCJ

Hi all I've been lurking for a while.....until now anyway - unlike most people I like playing solo a lot against the computer - if he best me evern better I read somewhere the ai is pretty easy to beat now - I hope BTS will improve this - please ALso are you guys going to implement some sort of learning brainfile? Would be cool one day ....people can exchange brainfiles Possibly customable AI's....one day CCJ

Hi Well I've been hammering away with QUAKE 2 - Capture the Flag - bags of fun 16 players on-line together! Just hired Unreal from video store yeterday, this is cool too CCJ

BTS How's direct X v7 doing with CM? CCj

Well the snow texture looks really nice anyway CCJ

There must be room for polygon Blood somehwere CCJ

Hey BTS Hopefully one day, polygon blood will be added somewhere..........:0

Beat testers must be getting fidgety as the clock ticks towards Monday...... CCj

Hi I'd rather - watch their replays from each side! That would be cool! Or how about their replays and optional AAR text Cool CCj

Phew! I dunno how you guys trouble-shoot your code! ;P So many parameters 8-) CCJ

BTs Well at least I know your trying - that's good to know (;P heheh CCj

Hi BTS I have some thoughts - assuming Cm2 -Eastern Front goes bigger and better - eg 16 meg worth of textures and so forth, will you go back and improve/update CM1, with new stuff?? I hate it when a second version comes out and its a different theatre, cause I really like the Western Front. I hope you release an update or something along those lines. Close Combat being a good example, each version in a different theatre, with improved mechanics, but then its up to hackers to create the old theatres.... I hope this won't be the case with CM CCj

Steve there are plenty of sound cards for mac - for pro aduio stuff anyway - there are some cards such as Midiman (m-Aduio) stuff that are dual platform, not game spcefic, but on the mac it shouldn't matter.

I've just got a cheap $50 Creative Vibra pci soundcard for games Running through my Mackie 24 channel mixer and out through my KRK K-Rok Studio Reference Monitors! Bit of an overkill for games, but I like my sound to be accurate Yeah I have a Creamware Pulsar soundcard - cost me $2500 and is loaded with DSPs, but is totally useless for games LOl but its awesome for music writing and recording, being 24 bit/96khtz capable - DVD cd quality for those that know CCJ

Hey LEE! The NEc p750 is a much better monitor than the e700 - I was gonna get ont, but the mitsubishi, was cheaper, but now I wonder if there is something wrong with mine, all the vertical line are bowed, curved - I can adjust it with the contorls for pin-cushion etc, but its still not 100 % vertical -is this normal?????
