Actually, it is William Trotter. I just got my subscription copy in the mail. He gives CM a 91%! A small quote from the PC Gamer review. "Even in the space of a 2 page review, there is not enough room even to list - let alone describe - all the goodies packed into this outstanding game. Just go to www.battlefront.com and give 'em your $45. You will not be sorry." John-SJ

Scorpion, I found that with the drivers I had with my GeForce that it wouldn't display smoke correctly. I updated the driver and everything is perfect! John-SJ

patboivin, The Gold Demo is at 1.02, and the new shipment of CDs (currently shipping) are 1.02. If you have the full game from the original lot then 1.01 is the latest patch available. 1.02 is not available as a patch for any version of the game. Hope this helps. John-SJ

I assume that with the CMHQ-Annex ladder the winner always reports his win. Then the ladder software automatically generates a confirmation e-mail sent to the loser. Until the loser responds to the confirmation the game is not registered. At least, that's what I've gathered so far, but I only know the ladder from the loser's side. John-SJ

I have no trouble at all comprehending this thread or the others you have participated in. I will not play your baiting game to tell you what you've said to insult or disrespect others, I *hope* you have enough intellegence to know that for yourself. And if not.... John-SJ

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by PraetorianXXI: I soon as i entered this discussion forum i saw that everyone thinks they are king ****, acting all smart and everything trying to make use of the english language as if they knew to an extent that they had Doctorate. Ahh, all the little games that you all play, trying to be people you aren't, just because i said "lalala" once is not a viable reason to go off at someone! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> It's funny, I'm relatively new to this forum, but I have never once been spoken to in a non-courteous manner. Hmm...I wonder why? Do you suppose it could be because I behave with courtesy and respect myself? My advice to you, PraetorianXXI, take it or leave it. Start showing a little respect to the other posters here, else you probably won't last long on this board. If you don't believe me, try reading the "Rules & Policies" that you agreed to when you signed up. The bottom line is, if you are interested in discussing Combat Mission and you are able to conduct yourself with civility then this board is a great place to be. If not, perhaps it would be better to just leave, your behavior is really rather boring. John-SJ

Man, you guys are SICK! I feel right at home! John-SJ (It is now time for the penguin on your television to explode)...KA-BOOM!!!

1152x864x16 on a PIII 750, 256Mb ram, and 32Mb GeForce 2 card. John-SJ

When I was looking for these games "Over the Reich" was out of stock so I only have "Achtung Spitfire". A wonderful game! I still play now and then. John-SJ

You'e right Melloj, you shouldn't be having any video problems with that system. I have a similar system and running at 1152x864x16 camera movement is smooth as glass. I'm at work now so I can't check my driver version but are you sure that 5.32 is the most recent Detonator driver? If not, try the latest version. John-SJ

Hey, that's even better than the one I saw a couple of days ago. I had a tank on Move Fast when he was hit broadside by an enemy tank in hiding. My tank burst into flames and continued to coast for some distance before finally rolling to a stop. This was a surprise to me too, I fully expected my dead tank to just stop. I seem to be continually and pleasantly surprised by the little details in this game! John-SJ

Rookie, All I was trying to get across was that anyone who wants to can do their own review on Gamespot. I wasn't referring to your post at all. BTW, www.cdmag.com gave CM 5 Stars! John-SJ

The good news is that Gamespot allows player reviews. 9.1 *is* good overall, but I agree with sniperscope, CM's sound is better than a 7! John-SJ

And gave it a 9.1! See the full review here. http://www.zdnet.com/gamespot/filters/products/0,11114,196956,00.html edit: Sorry, when I posted this I didn't realize someone else had already posted a similar topic. John-SJ [This message has been edited by John-SJ (edited 07-06-2000).]

Since the beginning of this thread I've been at a loss to understand what the point of this test, running a platoon perpendicular to MG fire toward a goal, is. I mean, if they are running toward an important goal wouldn't you have defenders at the goal as well as the MGs? And if it's not an important goal, why waste 3 MG teams? What's their purpose? As Steve pointed out in his "test" placing the MGs at the objective, especially with an additional rifle squad is way more effective, not to mention the fact that they are actually defending. I can't believe that in real life the results would be *that* much different. maybe the results wouldn't be identical, but they'd be fairly close, I'd wager. John-SJ
