  1. this is a great topic... smile.gif

    anyways, i wish i could find the sources, but i remember seeing pictures from the gulf war of a couple of M1A1 Abrams that had been bit a couple of times each by, but weren't taken out by hits from iraqi tank guns.

    both abrams' were sitting there with APDS darts sticking out of their turret sides.

    it was kind of funny: with the end of the dart (fins and all) sticking out in the air, they kina looked like NERF weapons!

    Combat Mission 2 Patch online - The folks at battlefront.com did release an enormous Patch with over 100 bugfixes!!! Version 1.01 is even more realistic than the older versions and the patch is about 55 megabytes full of new vehicles and weapons for your ultimate combat experience!

    can you advise Mr. Martin...

    nah, the BTS crew is probably sitting around somewhere, smoking and drinking, and forgetting to release the patch.

    :D

    update: i just upped my system clock to 150MHz, and my video card (GF4 4200ti 128M) to 298MHz core, 550MHz memory. now my good, old 1.33GHz athlon is just about as fast as a P4 2.0GHz. smile.gif

    and, as the final icing on the cake, my 3DMark2001 SE score went up to 10347!!!

    ah, hotrod budget computers... killing germans hasn't ever looked so good! ;)

  4. 'gerfingerpoken' comes from this little diatribe that was once posted in every computer ops room in the world:

    ACHTUNG! ALLES LOOKENSPEEPERS!

    Das computermachine ist nicht fuer gefingerpoken und mittengrabben.

    Ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken

    mit spitzensparken. Ist nicht fuer gewerken bei das dumpkopfen.

    Das rubbernecken sichtseeren keepen das cotten-pickenen hans in

    das pockets muss; relaxen und watchen das blinkenlichten.

  5. wow, two posts in one day... i guess i'm not lurking anymore. smile.gif

    i've been a gamer for close to 20 years now, and pretty hardcore about it. CMBO is the best game i've played, ever.

    and now we have this *and* CMBB coming out. i can't wait until both are tied together. massive army sweeps, and zooming down to certain areas to duke it out in person.

    man, imagine a PBEM game with different levels of command, using 100s of people. smile.gif

    keep up the good work, guys. i can't wait to get my grubby hands on this baby.

  6. sigh...

    i would like to share with you a fate that few a young (and not so young) man should want to face:

    i cleaned my desk, and my CD disappeared. only a week previously, i had modded it out and taken a break from playing. i've been playing is straight through since, sheesh, it was released.

    :(

    i guess it's time to start playing multiplayer. heh, i just need to re-wire my house to make my box the router. oh boy!

    (now do ya feel my pain, brothahs?)
