  1. Well I don't really expect to come to and start downloading so I can play but if I'm going to end up there for 5 days I might feel like it after a while. Does anyone know if I can run it on my (wife's) laptop? I've already told her I would like to borrow it while I am there to watch movies.
  2. I've done a little searching but here is why not to roast me. I get to have a colonoscopy tomorrow morn (thurs) and then a big tumor that we just found last Friday taken out of my gut on Fri. If each copy can run on two machines I would be safe downloading it to a laptop in the hospital and then I can run it on my computer when I get home? The laptop has AMD duo 2 gig I believe with a GeForce Go 6150. Is it going to run on that? They are telling me maybe 5 days in the hospital. Good luck to Battlefront with CMSF and wish me luck with that tumor thing.
  3. Normal Dude I just built one the end of Jan with the same thing except for a 7900GS with a bigger HD. When the price of the video card comes down I'll pop another one in. We should be set for CMSF.
  4. I know it's been a couple of years since I posted but this gets me out in the open. Great news.
  5. For myself I care not one bit for the inner views. Seeing as there is then only so much that can be put into any game all of it is then put in to the part that I care about, what happens on the outside.
  6. I was under the impression that there was in actually no such thing as the "knee mortar" in the Pacific. US troops had thought the Japanese had such a weapon but turned out to be something else. More along the lines of a rifle grenade if I remember right.
  7. Having a tank half blown away could be a very real thing but I have always just thought of the graphical aspect of the game as a plus. BFC wants the mechanics of the game to be correct and the eye candy sort of takes a back seat. That being said it would be nice to see improved damage modeling but that will be down the road a ways I would suspect. Right now you just have to be content with playing the best combat sim ever made.
  8. Didn't they say "If the Luftwaffe shows up the British and Americans hid. If the RAF showed up the Germans hide, and if the US army Air Corp showed up everybody hid."
  9. I have been watching Band of Brothers which is think is excellent and have been thinking about this very topic. In the Crossroads episode when they attack the Germans on the dike they establish a fallback position and after picking off a few Germans use it when they realize they are up against a superior force. I realized disengaging is something I have problems with. In one minute things can really go to hell and by then it is impossible to disengage. I think an order to fallback to a certain position in the face of superior forces where the move is pre plannd would indeed add to the game. I can see people bitching "my veteran troops fell back too quickly" but just don't use the order then if you want them to hold at all cost. Naturally you would expect veteran troops to fall back in a more orderly and successful manner whick would be preferable to "my green troops didn't have the sense to get out of there and were wiped out."
