Woot great timing for people from New Zealand home from work in an hour and download city
Which link to use I wonder
Unless the American one gets fixed, go with the German one (corruption issues)
-
Us invading German held territory to get the game is so ironic one wonders if this was preplanned.
It certainly is ironic. Where abouts in Ontario do you hail from, if I may be so nosy?
-
The 365MB US one is definitely not right.
Time to start are thread - why do the Germans have such ubermirrors and the rest of the world with all it's resourses got it wrong.
Perhaps this is all part of simulating the initial force advantage the Germans had in Normandy?

I'm waiting to see the first screenshots
Is mental cruelty a requisite hobby for Beta Testers?

The US mirror from Worthplaying is working for me; downloading at 533 KB/sec. I assume that's the English mirror you're referring to?
Oh, I see, the size is wrong. Damnit. And apparently the German link is now full, because it's hanging for me right now. *sigh*
Aldaros,
I was downloading from the US site as well and enjoying the speed and seeing it at 67% when I started to read it was corrupted. Now I'm hours away from download being completed via Germany.

We're going to see if there's something we can do (quickly) about the corrupted link.

You guys are the greatest! [call me a fanboy]

Good lord it's slowed to a crawl now. Maybe it'll help if I have another delicious German pilsner and watch that Archer episode I've been saving.
I suspect us North Americans are going to have to suffer for a while. Too bad the US site is corrupt since I was getting 10x the speed.

Started to download at the US site but based on feedback that is corrupt so cancelled. Now downloading from Germany but only at 50 kb/s grrr.

Just got back from working on that report and now am happily downloading the demo
-
OK, with a broad band cable modem it "should" be under 30 mins except at H-hour when its released and EVERYBODY is trying to get it, then well, you know it "could be" longer...
right?
Hi Tom,
Not sure if you remember me from back in the original CMBO release days? (1st in the GTA with mail delivery and talk of a disk rendezvous).
Hope all is well

LOL it is just so wrong that you be post 300, but it feels so right. :-P
Sixkiller probably should temporarily change his nick to Catbert or somefink like that. He is enjoying toying with us far too much.
I know, I should be working on the report, but isn't lack of self-control a common trait of those posting here?
-
I think I'll go work on a report rather than continually refreshing. At least that way I'm doing something useful and have more time to play later.
Chris
P.S. Leaving the thread should guarantee the demo is released based on my skill at choosing the correct highway lane or cashier line.
-
Can it, Chris. You are wasting precious time demanding the demo. We are tired of hitting F5 and want the demo NOW
Hey just doing my small part to get it up to 300. ;-)

Congrats to Battlefront for reaching this important milestone.
Thank you Steve and the rest of the Battlefront crew for staying online all these years and putting up with us; I'm sure it has contributed to the loyalty of your customer base.
I look forward to spending many hours enjoying this game as I have your other offerings.

Across the Rhine was a game I was going to get but the reviews were not very favourable.
Not an land based warfare simulation, but another old Microprose game I thoroughly enjoyed, having read the novel, was Red Storm Rising. First game I remember that had a dynamic campaign.
Chris

This feature already exists.
Good to hear

More 1st person, but how about M1 Tank Platoon by Microprose.

Let me begin by saying that hand crafted maps will almost always be better than the auto-generated ones.
I see from the 2nd video AAR, that the quick battle maps are divided into the type of map with regards to terrain and size.
As a future patch, and possible compromise, would it be possible to have a pseudo random map?
What I mean by this is that the user selects map size, terrain etc from an interface and then the computer will randomly select from the pre-created maps one that meets those criteria.
This might be a possible solution to those folks like dkchapuis who desire random maps.

Speaking of Operational games, how many people played Atomic Games' "V for Victory" series?
-
When I heard about Space Lobsters, I imagined the spiritual successor to the tactical side of X-Com.
-
Arrogant Worms: I remember the first time I heard them on the radio. It was "Carrot Juice Is Murder" and "Last Saskatchewan Pirate". Definitely a fun group.

Well Sixxkiller, easy for you to say as one of those lucky (but hardworking) few who have been able to play this game.

Hi Steve & Moon,
This is probably unreasonable but hope does spring eternal. In the spirit of this holiday weekend and reminiscent of the original Combat Mission Beyond Overlord, is there any chance of a late beta release with a couple of missions available to tide all of us rabid fans over until the full release within the next couple of weeks? Perhaps limit it to those who pre-ordered even.
I'll understand if this is not possible, but this might even stop all of our incessant whining for at least a week ;-)

I think his ability to jump into the future helped with the successful download. Us regular sods restricted to the normal space time continuum have to suffer.
