OMG, did you not read the whole review? The first part was a joke, based on his expectations of BF. Read the whole review, then look at the score (a 5 of 10) I think. In my class room that is a failing score! </font>Originally posted by Thunderbird:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Patrocles:

Without having played the game I would vote WEGO. If the AI is decent and doesn't need babysitting then I might change my vote.

I would love to see coop (multiple humans vs. AI) in this game and other games from Battlefront.

How dare you spend more time to give us a high-quality, non-buggy, complete game!!Originally posted by rune:The game is still under going changes, and nothing can be said till we test the changes. We are not going to say something is or is not in until we are sure it works. Works continues on the game, have no fear.

thanks for the info!

good post! thanks for the info.Originally posted by wolf66:However, my question/observation still hasn't been answered on why I see many people adopting so many German WW2 military names compared to say, British, Russian, American, Japanese WW2 military nicknames. It could just be my limited exposure to the 'internets' and perhaps I need to use 'the google' to acquire more info.
in a rush now, but i will start a separate thread on this theme tonight.
cheers

good post! thanks for the info.Originally posted by Carolus X:As always when I take a look at this forum I just see peoples posting about things they don't have a clue about what SS was.
SS was originally just a bodyguard but grew to the largest organization in the Nazi Germany.
To just point a finger on SS and say: "SS was a warcrime organization, they made soap of jeews, etc." is in mho not right.
SS consisted of different headbranches and did everything from slaughtering people in the concentration camps to try to find out if there was a german tribe hiden in the tibet mountains (Yes it's true).
What 1st SS Liebstandarde stands for is Waffen-SS, and if I say that they didn't do anything wrong, then thousands of murdered peoples on the Eastfront will probably rise from the graves and point a accusing finger on me for lying.
The oposite would render in the same accusing finger, If I say that the russians did nothing wrong.
The organization was convicted as a warcrime organization after the war, but those who fought in the Waffen-SS, those who went to tibet to find the lost german tribe, etc. can't even today understand why they was convicted as warcriminals.
And if the trial against SS had been done today Waffen-SS and other branches would probably not been convicted as a war criminal organization.
There will always be peoples that just flame a post as soon as someone say SS and it will also always be peoples that say "SS didn't do anything wrong" just because they don't really understand what type of organization SS was. Even today it's really hard to understand how big SS was and what every branch of the organization realy did.
But flaming someone for his nick just by saying "Hey that name has SS in it" is BS.
Cause then you don't understand the historical facts about SS and it's branches.
Anyway I will probably also be flamed just for posting this and someone will probably say that Im a nazi or something like that, but they can't be more wrong.
All I wan't is a forum without flaming. A good example of that is this thread, He has some questions and get's no answers but the flaming start directly.
And to Patrocles: Wehrmacht and SS are sure not the same thing.
However, my question/observation still hasn't been answered on why I see many people adopting so many German WW2 military names compared to say, British, Russian, American, Japanese WW2 military nicknames. It could just be my limited exposure to the 'internets' and perhaps I need to use 'the google' to acquire more info.

Good point!Originally posted by stone75:Were in a forum for a game which portrays battlefields in WW2. I would imagine he chose his name for a unit he admired in combat. I dont see a problem. Might as well just call all germans evil, some were nazis in WW2 you know.
I have a question for everyone...why do think the majority (from what i have observed) of these types of nickname refer to the WW2 nazis army groups? Is it the dreaded "Wehrmacht Penis Envy?" Do some folks worship ADORK HITLER and his stooges? just curious...

There was a suggestion by Other Means that casualties be represented by an actual figure that would lie on the ground and be considered "evacuated" if within some sort of command radius for a certain amount of time. This suggestion was a compromise of sorts between casualties being represented by only an abstract symbol such as a Red Cross and full control of Medics, which Battlefront was always completely against as being difficult to code and a distraction from what is, after all, a war game.Originally posted by Sequoia:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by fytinghellfish:
The red cross symbol over the dead/wounded soldier - how does that work in the game? I know we talked at length about casualties and IIRC one of the ideas brought up was that maybe we'd have X amount of time to move a medic to the position of the casualty to simulate evacuating him. Is that what we're seeing?
Steve said Other Means' suggestion would be considered, and that’s the source of the quote in Other Means' Sig. All we can assume is that
Casualties are represented by more then a Red Cross (unless Steve wants to give us another bone, hmmm). :cool: </font>

what's up withOriginally posted by merry:I have been with BFC before the release of CMBO,
like late 1999, and there was 10X's the number of
posts inanticipation of that unknown, which turned
out to be the best WW2 game series ever...still is! This lack of posting shows a small level of in
terest. Anyone know why? Are there too many games?
I hope this game is great, but when I here that it
is not like CM or that is simply a "bridge" game,
or that it is more like "Close Combat", I start to wonder.....
your text editor? Do
you type out your comments
in Notepad and then
cut and paste?
I think folks have known
that the game is more
akin
to CC than CM for years
and years from the gameplay
description.
As for lack of
prerelease interest
in ToW I cannot answer
that question, but
if
true
then you have a point.
Could it be that
the developers are
Russian and
BF is coming late to the
promotion stage of ToW?

Are you saying the demo is not ready because BF is demanding that 1C add more cowbell? If 1C listens to BF they will be wearing gold diapers!Originally posted by MeatEtr:Yup, it's been one helluva thread. I wonder how many more twists and turns there will be for this thread. What next?
Glad to see Megakill is back.
P.S. Long live the cowbell!

LMAO! Of course, this would only be realistic if the plane crew was American. After taking out the lousy tank that shot them down with the enemy AT gun down they would have to shout out, "America! F**k yeah!"Originally posted by Sivodsi:I want to see a shot down planes crew bail out, recrew an enemy AT gun and take out the lousy tank that shot it down in the first place.
Can we do this? I would wait an extra week for it to be implemented, but no more than a week, mind.
-
well said! I know it's a cliche, but ToW is just a game and not worth getting too worked up about.Originally posted by AdamL:Why don't you invest this much energy saving the [p]lanet or something and stop thinking a video game forum is really that important a thing to worry about.
-
Wow! So much hatred directed at so many subjects. How long have you been nurturing these feelings? hehe
Personally, I look forward to purchasing what will be fun and historical (compared to current WW2 rts games such as CoH) WW2 RTS from Battlefront and 1C.
-
Thanks for the updates, gentlemen! I will no longer bother any of you with these rumors and will await patiently for the release of ToW. Keep up the good work because I look forward to purchasing this game when it is released!

Sepp at Simhq says otherwise,
"I got it directly from a number of beta-tester horses' mouths. Don't ask me to tell you who by name, they're under a non-disclosure agreement. Just be grateful they put this info out there, at least we now know why we're still waiting.
One of the testers (probably more, we know how it goes) shared his game and it got into the wrong hands apparently, because it was hacked and cheats were implemented. The devs are trying to fix the holes and that's why the western version is being held up."
Unfortunately, we have no hard evidence that this info is true so we have to treat it them as rumors.
For Me, If WEGO Goes, I Go
in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
