Was there ever a high-rez face pack for blue?

But is it historically feasable? The first Normandy game is what time period, June, July, and August right? IIRC they made their fist appearance at Caen in August. Yup, close enough, it's a must have!

But I want the Bear, bring it on.......

So it's confirmed then, we'll be getting the Brummbär. So can we get a screenshot of it plz?

Yep, that's great to hear, looking forward to further details.

BINGO, we gotta winner! Congratulations, you just won your very own Cowbell pic courtesy of the world wide web. Your welcome, enjoy!

Nicely done Elmar. So...... will Masta-Blasta Steve that runs Bartertown indulge us? Name that movie?

Damn it, your right Sergei, just did more testing and noticed the same. :mad: Oh well, my brief joy was fun nonetheless.

Well initial tests with this indicate a big drop in loading times. A scenario loaded in about 23-24 seconds without it and then using all four CPUs my loading time was about 13-14 seconds. So for me anyway, it cuts load times in half. I didn't notice any performance difference, was running FRAPs. Appeared unchanged to me.

Wow, this certainly deserves some testing/comparisons to see if it yields any performance improvements. Thanks for posting about it.

Probably should of posted this in the CMAK or CMBB forums. Also you may want to make these sites your favorites.

Great job man, a good resource for people new to the game. I can't help but cringe when I see CMSF without the popular UI tweak mods. Your probably aware of them, but here they are if you or some other new player is interested. Unit icon 'Silhouettes' replacements Full coloured weapon icons Icon Bases Mod Your video collection reminds me of a Tutorial campaign I was gonna create awhile back. It was gonna be much more in-depth than the default Tutorial cam.

Ha, your one to talk, takes one to know one!

Just got off the phone with Steve and Charles, they're planning a CM: Normandy Cowbell Edition. The package will come with a full life-size cowbell in it. It's gonna take the wargaming scene by storm.

So CMN is coming with 3D glasses for the 3D effects. Kool, steal Avatars thunder!

Oh please, as if dealing with a few more CMN threads is gonna delay/stall the development. But that's part of the point Gibson, if they put up the Normandy forum then it wouldn't be a problem. As it is now, this is essentially the CMSF/CMN forum.

If you had to sum it up in a single sentence, then this would be it. My mom loved Dance with Wolves, so this is how I described Avatar to her.

So be it, if you wanna make an omelette you gotta crack some eggs.

No don't, we need to start bombarding the CMSF forum for CM: Normandy info to better motivate BF to fire up the much over-due CM:N forum.

He doesn't sleep much and sh*ts out WWII books.

Speaking of flames, how about flame tanks? You know we want it, so give it to us. The mighty Croc would look glorious in the Brits mod, yes I know a very rare tank but still(Hobart's Funnies).

Time and time again, the battle ends right before a big airstrike or arty barrage. Or when your big plan is coming to fruition and the game just abruptly ends. It would be great to see some kind of a "End-of-Mission" option(like the cease fire pop-up box) to either just end it immediately or let the enemy route/surrender. Surrendering troops act the same way as the old CMx1 games and the routing troops could flee towards a random or designer chosen map edge.

All hell breaks loose at the Joe ---> Hard to believe it's been 13 years already, ahh the glory days.

Well, saw the movie last night in 3D and was pretty impressed. I too also thought the movie was a littl too dark with the glasses. Looked like the sunglasses were dimming the vibrancy of the movie, but guess I got use to it after awhile. Found myself periodically taking the glasses off to renew that "wow kool 3D" grin when putting them back on. The overall story is nothing original though. No real surprises either, very predictable movie. Nevertheless it's still a very solid movie, a great intro to the new digital 3D format. Now having said that, have they made the porn version yet? We all know whenever a movie is such a huge commercial success the porn industry tries to get in on it.

I wouldn't get bogged down with mods right at the start. I'd recommend just playing at least a few battles with the default/vanilla install. After getting your feet wet you should pick up the highly regarded UI tweaks. Unit icon 'Silhouettes' replacements Full coloured weapon icons Icon Bases Mod
