Mord

Nice call back! Mord.

Friggin' Russian nickname grogs, always waiting to pounce! Mord.

Steve just posted that there'll be an update later tonight. Mord.

Unfortunately, it works more than it doesn't. Mord.

That makes two of us. Mord.

How would you know, you haven't used any... Mord.

I just hide it better. You wouldn't have said that if you'd seen me this one day last month. I logged on after being away for a couple weeks, saw there was no mention of anything, started cussing up a storm and got so pissed I immediately shut down my browser. LMAO! Just best not to post in that state. I completely empathize. I feel that way about SF2. I've been pining away for it ever since it was a mentioned a few years ago. Now that we are right on the verge I am going nuts. Mord.

LOL. Yeah, but actually it's ALWAYS been that way. Whenever Steve uses the word "soon", I add four to six months to the timeline and groan. It frustrates me, but I don't get paranoid and fly off the handle like some of these guys. After 17 and a half years I am used to it. Mord.

So? it's his forum he can post what he wants when he wants. So? Been that way since CMBO. Now it bugs you? The one time they strayed they spent a year getting their a**es chewed for releasing CMSF too early. But I am sure you wouldn't have complained about that. Yeah, we get it. They haven't been in business for twenty years, they haven't succeeded, this is all fake, and the website is one giant sock puppet. LOL. Man, at this point I think you just want someone to pay attention to you. Ok. Consider this post me patting you on the head and saying "That was an ingenious troll, son! You are such a good boy!" Mord.

Historically, these long periods of frustration and BFC silence mean something is close (remember the upgrade announcement? The CMFI surprise? etc.). Steve seems to let it get to the absolute boiling point and then we are deluged with either info or a release, or both. With them juggling three flaming bowling pins and the 4.0 grenade I can understand why this is a long one. I can also understand why people are getting angsty and pissed off. It frustrates the hell out of me too, but I've come to learn, after all these years, that this is how they do it, for better or worse. The pissy, negative side of me says "screw it, I am gonna stop checking the forums for any news" and the positive side of me says "we are at Defcon 1 and a launch is imminent". We are going on six months so something has got to give. Yeah, I am sick of waiting. But it is what it is, which is how it always is. Incidentally, Steve-Time™ works best for death sentences and lap dances, other than them it sucks! Mord.

Personally, I agree with some of what Carl has to say, but his delivery and demeanor suck. The good points he might make get buried by his attitude and combative nature. He's rude and obnoxious when there is no need to be and this thread is a perfect example. There's a fairly defined demilitarized zone between rabid fanboy and bitter troll and an objective thoughtful person can usually navigate it without setting off the landmines. Unfortunately, Carl tends to break dance his way through...in clown shoes...on a pogo stick. Mord.

I have never seen someone build a strawman and then rape it. Until now. I am surprised you didn't choke on the irony. Mord.

I forgot about the casualty text. Been a while since I've played. I stand corrected. I think between the two of us we have cleared up one of the issues. LOL. Mord.

Vlad calls me Mordski. When I am not trolling facebook tipping elections, I like to slip onto the BFC website and cause confusion and mayhem to hide the fact Steve ran off with everone's 4.0 money and Charles is nothing more than a smudge of goo in a dried up Helman's jar. It's a living. Mord.

I am gonna go out on a limb here and guess that Carl is upset. Mord.

Didn't sound like he attacked anybody to me. Sounds like he is trying to bring some positivity to the table in the midst of all the negativity that's been posted lately. But apparently you aren't gonna let the rotten b****** get away with it. Mord.

Those guys are lightly injured. It is in the manual - going to have to look that up later, unless some one beats me to it. Brown is the color of death. Green: fine, Yellow: light wound, Red: heavy wound, Brown: dead. Weapons (in the UI, as in what each team member's main firearm is) only have two states, green for fine, and yellow for lightly wounded, anything worse and the icon is removed. So I don't even know what the complaint is on this one. I can't say I ever saw a brown weapon. As far as I know Marco does work for BFC so he's probably busy doing textures and such for one of the upcoming releases. Basically, anytime you are playing something he's worked on you are using one of his mods. He did the awesome US Stuart in CMFI as well as the camo Shermans. He usually releases his UI mod a few weeks after a new title/module comes out. Mord.

Very cool, my man. I enjoyed it. Mord.

What country are you from? I always thought you were French. Mord.

Excellent. Happy to help. Good luck, buddy! Mord.

You can miss lots of really cool moments only playing in RT. Mord.

You are welcome, my friend. They use "walk on pavement" files 0-8 , "walk on snow" files 0-3, "walk on soft" files 0-4, "walk on solid" files 0-6, "walk on water" files 0-4. Example; walk on pavement 0 walk on pavement 1 walk on snow 0 walk on snow 1 etc. You can add as many new files to these as you like. EX: walk on water could have 15 files if you want, numbered 0 to 15. There are no files for running. My guess is they just increase the frequency (amount) of the walking sounds when the infantry run. Ex: Infantry walking, you might hear the sound 5 times in 10 seconds, infantry running, you might hear the sound 10 times in 10 seconds. Is this the information you were looking for? Mord.

The vehicle sounds can't use more than one file each. Infantry walking and running etc. sounds can have multiple files. Mord.

@Ales Devorak, that was the album that turned me into a Metal Head, in the summer of 1986. Mord.
