    CMx2: probably not for me

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    Sir,

    You of course are entitled to your opinion about your perception of what CMx2 will turn out to be: A possible dissapointment in your eyes. Fine.

    I have the perception, given what is stated so far on the forum, on the balance of probabilities, the complete opposite of your opinion. Fine.

    Steve has stated what BFC are technical capable of doing with their CMx2 engine.

    Even if BFC has landed on the moon with their previous rocket projects, who can blame them if they shoot, from the moon, to Mars and fail to reach the latter, ending somewhere between these bodies in outer space? The point is, BFC is NOT on terra firma compared to the wargame competition, and still many space miles in front on the race to Pluto, the planet of wargamers ultimate dreams & wants.

    Thus, for me, they deserve respect on past achievements alone, and dare I say, a chance to see what the demo is all about. Before that, I reserve any judgement.

    Sincerely,

    Charl Theron

    Synopsis: BFC’s recent comments on the CMx2 engine [Long]

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    Trust me, if it was this easy to get into the Beta Test team, BFC would have created a department just for receiving gifts and sending out "thank you" letters.

    I was offered a seat on the Beta team with CMx1, but had to gracefully decline due to my work & referee commitments. I couldn't promise undivided attention to the Beta test team and opted rather to be harassed/threatened by upset spectators in different stadia around the country then to face MBTW = Matt's Beta Test Whip.

    Also my hardware, those days, was not up to par, given my specific test role. Did I mention I bought SLI'ed 6800 Ultra's & AMD FX-55 machine just to put my ref schedules in since then? ;)

    Matt is a hard slave driver, and so it should be.

    EDIT: Beta Test Team now mentioned above.

    The CPU opponent- is it limiting CMx2 possibilities?

    Aren't there some proteins you can sprinkle into Charles's jar that would take care of that?
    Ahemm,

    Whadda you think I'm trying to do the last 5+ years? ---> FEED THE JAR <----

    You think I'm a lover of MD and his reasonable wit and JasonC's typing skills to return everyday to this forum? Pffft.

    In fact, I can confirm that Charles is not a jar with just jelly. He has a voice. Crackling over a trans-atlantic phone line, but nevertheless, a human audible sound. So squash any rumours and Steve's innuendo that he communicates with Charles through a medium of the female gender.

    Please do. I recall Charles programming an obscure AFV in CMBB while being silly on a substance. smile.gif

    Need help on substance silliness?

    News on system requirements?

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    Well Steve, if you need a CMx2 test bunny for graphic stability; I've got the following:

    AMD Athlon FX-55

    Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI Mobo

    2 x Asus 6800 Ultras running in SLi mode

    22" IBM Monitor running in 1600x1200x32 (4xAA + 8xAF)

    2 x Raptor Western Digital HDD's in RAID 1

    WinXP Pro

    Happy to run/test Cmx2 for you, but alas, my system will be old and no more cutting edge when CMx2 is released!

    Sincerely,

    Charl

    (5) your drinking habits.

    Sincerely,
