My initial reaction is the same as crazylegs', but I'm not giving up on it. I think I may need to turn off the dual core to speed things up. I think I know what he is talking about as far as LOS. At one point I was trying to target a tank with an AT gun. I got a message that there was no LOS, which is fine, but I had no way of knowing what specifically was blocking the LOS, when I could expect the tank to come into LOS, or what I needed to do to get LOS. With CM you have the LOS tool so you know these things. I'd really like it if you could rotate the screen with the mouse. Maybe there is a control setting I can change. What I see isn't nearly as nice as the screen shots someone posted and I have a pretty good computer and graphics card.

Madmatt, I guess it's back to "when it's done." I've never seen such a bunch of whiny crybabies.

I'm at 645KB. I'll go eat dinner.

Is this it?

BFC, please release, or do somefink!

You could have ordered after you tried the demo.

The game will be released tonight, but not before Madmatt has made his 100 votes for Sanjaya.

The link will go live. Shortly after that emails will go out to those who pre-ordered. Shortly after that people who didn't get the email will start complaining. Shortly after that the forum will be filled with posts about how people couldn't get the download to work. Shortly after that people will be flooding the forum with posts about how they can't get the game to run. Shortly after that people will start posting how they love/hate the game. Shortly after that people will ask where they can buy the game at retail. Shortly after that people will ask why their troops can't enter buildings. Shortly after that...

Gold, stocks, and real estate are good investements. Computer games are not.

5. BFC has a history of not releasing a demo until the same time as the full release. I think they have been saying for a long time that the demo would be available about the same time as the full game. If they release a demo early they have to deal with doing tech support on the demo instead of getting the game out the door. I don't know the logistics of making a game available for download, but I imagine it takes a little coordination with the people who are going to host the file on the various servers, so that could be why they don't have an exact time of availability. Additionally, my expectation of an early download was that it meant those who pre-ordered would have a chance to download it a little earlyt before the servers got overloaded, not days before so we could play it before everyone else.

And to clarify, you pre-ordered - you did not order a pre-release.

For some people the download means not having to wait for weeks for the game to reach them by mail.

Great preview! And they give a firm release date - in the coming months. Yay!

The game has been released but BFC is letting the internet tubes fill up before giving us access so we can all get some.

I'm sure it won't be ready by 2007, the year CMSF is set in. We'll have flying cars by then.

"Thank you for pre-ordering Eric Young's Squad Assault." WTF??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Sometime in Q1 of M2.

Thanks for the bone! When do we get some meat?

It won't be modern when it's done!

Sounds like CMSF will have several options.

If they spent time on this feature and tanks still don't have exploding turrets I will not buy CMSF! :mad: :mad: :mad:
