    Why ignore your beta testers? (too many problems)

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    Heh... haven't seen you around here in a DOG'S AGE, Vic.
    I'm always around.....but I certainly don't try and keep up with Dorosh on post counts and such. ;)

    I kinda started posting again when TOW was first announced and now that I actually have it....I may get to play it in the near future and see if it's what I dreamed for with CC. I'll get CMSF also but knowing my schedule it won't be until Thanksgiving that I'll actually be able to install it let alone play. :eek:

    Can't buy troops????

    Aaaahhhh. This topic brings back all sorts of memories. ;)

    I remember the decision and the many reasons why in CC4 we removed the points based requistion system and switched to a force pool. When the game was released it was a small riot from players wanting the old system back.....akin to what I'm seeing here.

    BTW...I like CMSF as it is. smile.gif

    People, could we not rush to conclusions, please? Maybe I'm naive but I think we have very little grounds to accuse Leib here of anything more then a somewhat poor taste/judgment in picking his nickname.

    If he is a troll, that will surface later. We need not hassle him now, the evidence isn't there to do so. I, for one no not think he is a troll.

    Naaaah. The below following quote by the individual in question is a dead giveaway. How can someone with enough internet savvy use terms like "flamers" and not know what is a 'troll'?

    It's really hard for me to understand how the internet emboldens and twists the human psyche so much, but this forum is the biggest proof of it. Of the self righteous flamers here unfortunately most are acne-ridden self-confidence lacking geeks who all of a sudden develop a new spine with a vengeance over the internet and vow themselves to ruin the lives of all who post ANYTHING here.

    It's Sigrun as Dirtweasle noted. He really must like everyone here and enjoy being piled on as he keeps returning.

    Hmmmmm.....I first thought Carolus X=Sigrun.....but this 1stSS wannabe is now in the lead.

    I'm bored here at the office so I'll bite.

    Name the time and place sparky. I can guarantee you won't meet with a zit covered, cowardly nerd.

    I hope I'm not getting banned for this, "Steve", as I don't think I could "legally" be found guilty of anything,
    You are correct in that you are not thinking. This is a private site and "Steve" or any of the other BFC staff could send you on your merry way for any reason whatsoever. No "legal" rights here tough guy.

    SO, YOU CAN'T BAN PEOPLE WHO SAY GERMANS ARE COOL BUT NOT BAN PEOPLE WHO WILL TRY TO DIGITALLY EXECUTE ANYONE WHO SAYS SO! You are supposed to run this kindergarten, please do so like an adult.
    Nice logic. And you are scoring major points with the staff here with your kudos.

    This is fun! ;)tongue.gif

    What should i let go of?...certain people wanting to discredit the game at every opportunity?

    or

    Certain people taking cheapshots at RTS players?

    Is that ok to respond to MeatEtr?

    Maybe you should have posted the same message to Hof.

    Iam just sticking up for the people who play RTS games and the poor light Hof painted them basically as people with less intelligence.

    Note: Can you imagine the response if i portrayed the CM crowd or turn base players as less intelligent.

    Would you send the same message MeatEtr that you sent me to those people who objected?

    ----------------------

    Yours sincerely

    Sammy

    Ummmmmmmmmmmmm..... are you aware that Markus is one of the 'biggie' names in the CC universe? That his name is featured in the credits of various "RTS" games including CC? Yeah....one could argue whether or not CC and the other "RTS" games are real time or continous time but either way I can assure you he doesn't hate "people who play RTS games" let alone "paint them basically as people with less intelligence."

    Now Sammy, I have a challenge for you: Do some research about an individual before attempting portray them as something they are not.

    You do not take the 'Waffen-SS' as what they were. They were subjects of a deadly ideology and they were used up for the interests of an imperialist state AND they were mostly fkn proud of it. You see them as knightly warriors and totally independent to the whole situation.

    Oh boy, one really gets some crackers here!

    Great Britain and it's imperialist empire, abuse of native populations by troops "used for the interests of an imperialist state". The torture, rape and murder of countless hundreds of thousands, if not millions. The concentration camps of the Boer war (yes, it may suprise you to know the british invented the concentration camp). Oh how long do we have to go over this...shall we get into the united states war of genocide against the native indians? Hmm? Shall we?

    Man is a beast, and nowhere is that more proved true than when he is at war with himself. Yet to hear the self-righteous cant being spouted here about the Waffen-SS, you'd think they were unique in other ways than their un-matched prowess in combat.

    The soviets under stalin murdered about four times as many humans as the nazis did under hitler, but that didn't stop Roosevelt and Churchill from supping with him, did it. Oh the rank hypocrisy of you blinkered revisionist dupes. :D </font>

    Some questions ...

    in Theatre of War

    Posted

    Controlling a company of soldiers running in and around various buildings while checking flanks and controlling tanks could be quite an ordeal.
    You mean like a real company commander would? ;)

    Oft times I would pray that my squads were supposed to be where I wanted them to be and doing what I wished them to be doing. TOW is pausable with ability to issue orders so game speed won't be overwhelming.

    I see in some of the screens there is a "Spirit" rating.

    Posted

    Thx! This is sounding better and better. smile.gif

    Since it is still early I'll save more "Spirit" and other questions until later in development. Ahhh....questions, questions...split squads? ability to flee? disband? strat level supply system? campaign system, eh, will some maps carry more 'weight' than others ala CC2? Mine dogs?

    Been awhile since I've been excited about an upcoming release. :D:D

    How TOW is close to Close Combat?

    in Theatre of War

    Posted

    CC6 is not vaporware....Destineer bought it and were doing some things with it and brought it SimTek to do some other work. No longer at Matrix and CSO so don't know much for the past few months.

    This does look exciting though......hope the 'low crawl of death' doesn't show up again. ;)

    CCBB vs. Squad Leader

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Just as an FYI.

    When 360 Pacific (game company) went under they were developing a game called Project X. The game (and people) moved to Avalon Hill where it was renamed Beyond Squad Leader. A break with Avalon Hill occured (over royalty disputes IIRC for the W@W series) and was picked up by Microsoft......and was renamed again to Close Combat.
