Enough waiting!!! where is TCP/IP
virtualfreak replied to a topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
Remember BTS is not a huge corprate company. Which could be a good thing because they have all the time in the world to make the games the make perfect. I like BTS because they take their time on things to make sure that they are perfect so tcp/ip will be done as soon as it is ready. -

Yes at the end of every show shown on the history channel they offer a 1-800 number you can call to order the show that was just shown.OR you could just go to their website at www.historychannel.com By the way I missed the show about the sherman last night.Was it good? -

When I first heard of this game from computer gaming world I Imediatally bought it and Its the best wargame I have ever played period. -

Ahhhhhh I remember when the first Close Combat came out.It had to be the best war game that I had ever played at the time.But now Combat Mission has arrived and The Close Combat series is I am afraid to say as good as dead. Combat Mission is just more fun to play!

Im courious,will matt and dan be working at big time's main office or have any of you guys actually ever seen each other? -
Well I will have to agree with tiger on this one. Soviet test just cant be taken as always accurate.Who knows how they conducted their test they could just have taken a 100mm gun and shot it at the tigers hull at point blank range.which is enough to penetrate any armor even armor on todays tanks.

I read the specs and this game looks like a first person shooter to me. One of my favorite games of all time besides CM has got to be MEDAL OF HONOR for the sony playstation.There is a sequel comming out this fall called MEDAL OF HONOR UNDERGROUND however both games are only first person shooters but they are both very good.

How often do you actually play CM each day?

I play more than what my parents want me too play! Its so tempting to play CM when there is school work that needs to get done. -
a mod to improve AI?
virtualfreak replied to virtualfreak's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
I have said this before I am very happy with the current AI.Its just that when i play the commputer I almost allways win. I will however praise the work of the programers who worked out such a difficult code too creat on of the best simulated AI i have ever seen. I just think that the commputer player AI could use a little uprgade too improve tactics when its trying to attack. -

virtualfreak replied to virtualfreak's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
But Big time software does however have the ability to release a patch that can improve the AI which would be appreciated even if it is a minor improvement. -
Is there or are there going to be mods to improve the AI in combat mission? The AI now isnt that bad but it could still use some work.
