Splendid pics.
Any news about Mac version?
-
No word about Mac version?
-
I just can't let this topic sink to the second page.
Bootcamping is not an option for me, but i still visit this board from time to time in hope of seeing some oficial Mac news someday.
-
I'll second that question.
I'm still visiting these forums out of habit, but there's nothing that i can really discuss without having the game. Booting into Windows is not an option for me.
So, i'm still waiting, but i don't know for how long.

We are continually being told to stop throwing so much rubbish away as the land fill sites are all full,and its a green issue about how much we dispose off.But if the f***** shops didn't use so much packaging then i wouldn't need to get rid of so much crap would I.Plus so much crap wouldn't need making in the first place.If the standardised on chargers then we wouldn't need a new one for every bloody phone you buy.I have a bag full of unused phone chargers which will get thrown away.
You seem to contradict yourself. First you're saying that the "green" measures are too tough, but in the next paragraph you seem to say that they're not tough enough since so much crap gets produced. So which way should it be? Since obviously there is a commercial reason for things to be that way, which means that any change will cost (probably calling for more complaints from your side).
Anyway, thanks for the links to the first posters, interesting read.

I don't want it unless there is absolutely no "Hollywood" influence to it at all. So far to me, it's "All American Military Bad, All The Time". I was excited at first, but my elation has dropped considerably as the show goes on. I'll still watch with very little hope it improves. [sarcasm]Does Oliver Stone have anything to do with this?[/sarcasm]
That's nonsense, mate. It certainly isn't "all American military bad, all the time". It's not the message that i'm getting from the show over here.
The message i do get is "there are good, bad and incompetent guys in every organization, and American military is no exception."
What it does blow away is the myth that American military, admittedly one of the best in the world (if not THE best), is super-perfect ordnung-muss-sein everything-taken-into-account execution-according-to-plan-and-S.O.P. force. Excrement happens. Even in American armed forces. For variety of resons.

Question: the marines in the movie often, when moving out, say "We're Oscar Mike" or something similar. What does it really mean, what's the origin of this phrase?
Googling didn't help, and the link below, which is good for all other expressions and acronyms, didn't help either.

I enjoyed the "Armor attack" very much, thanks. Keep 'em coming.
BTW, regarding the "twilight zone" turn presentation, i would've prefered the non-paralel version, as this way it's impossible to keep the story flow.

Press "Enter" again.Originally posted by Avwriter:By the way, after entering first person view (click + Enter), how do you switch back to normal view?
At least that's what works for me.
-
Regarding Nr.1: Do you mean rotating the camera? It is done by pressing middle button (in my case - scroll wheel) of the mouse.
I have another issue: is there a modifier key, which, when held down and clicked, jumps to that spot on the map? In CM it was done by holding down Ctrl and then clicking. I miss this feature.
Ok, we have the minimap now, but it's much more imprecise...
-
Ok, thanks for the answer.

Anybody managed to run the demo on Intel Macs under BootCamp?
On my MacBookPro it installed just fine, but after that if i try to launch the game nothing happens.
Could it be some driver issue?
-
Lucky hit on the cupola of that PzIV.
Nice screenies.

CM series have the autosave-every-60-seconds feature.Originally posted by Prince of Eckmühl:Along with the pause, how about having the game autosave when the "P" key is depressed? That way, players can reload the game if anything goes wrong and won't ever lose. At that point, the only thing missing from the package would be the inclusion of a butt-plug which would allow them to hold their stool until Thanksgiving.

Is it a bad game?
-
Mmmyes, you're probably right. And i have to wonder, after all those years playing CM with all the "heavy" cover types featured, which influenced your tactics and decisions on the battlefield, how it's gonna feel in TOW with mostly "cover light"...
-
Interesting question as well. I follow this forum more or less closely all the time, but don't remember seeing any information about camouflaging tanks or guns.Originally posted by Sammy_Davis_Jnr:Question 4. Can the tanks be camouflaged.
Have i missed something? Search didn't turn up much either.

Oh, this thread is soooo funny, please, keep it going so i have some entertainment, while i wait for my Friday evening "laager".

I think this is not entirely correct. I noticed multiple times, especially in French mission, that clicking on one icon (i suppose unit commander) whole squad was selected instantly.Originally posted by sebastian:Permanent drag-selecting of individual soilders, instead of unit-level-selection like in CC (I guess you don't need squads at all, for those few guys running around).
Apart from that, i have a strange feeling looking at those guns in the open. One thing that years and years of CM playing has taught me, is always to use cover. Because gun in the open could be killed by single machinge-gun burst.
Now here, in the British mission gun sits in the open, in hostile environment, without any cover, fires some shells, then gets moved to a different location (a big no-no in CM during the battle if enemy has a LOS), then disembarks and fires again.

Those tank clash AARs start to get boring.
"A squad of infantry was recieved as a reinforcements".
Oh my, squad of infantry...

Not neccessarily.Originally posted by Kilroy Lurking:..My B&W G3 is showing it's age... I just might be tempted to cross over to thr Dark Side.
What with the Napoleon thing and now this I think consideration of 'early reitement' is also on the cards!

I have Macbook Pro, and it runs Windows XP natively. Just have to reboot. Played some NHL06 on it, and the game looked beautiful.
Probably the requirements for TOW are bigger thou.
But will TOW take the advantage of the two core processors?
-
What about Mac?
-
I had no idea about all the background this conflict has, so i found this BBC article very good.
History repeating itself, indeed.
-
Oh, blimey, would that mean that there won't be Mac version at all? I feel like robbed after reading first page threads only to find this one...Originally posted by Redwolf:Again, since Python with wXwindows is not available for OS9, a OS9 CMC version is technically out.
Quick update on release status

I haven't visited or posted in this forum for 3-4 years since Battlefront started to flirt with those *MODERN* things, but all i can say now is awesome.
