Why are there not unique keyboad keys assigned to each command?!

Hehe, egg on my face on that one. But Ive played other scenarios also were the attacking force does not do much, and if it does, its in dribs and draps as I said above. So my point still stands.

No, I have not played any QBs, only scenarios.

Here is an example, SS from one scen. Its 90 min long, but I quit after 11 min, after wathcing the "attacking" force not move from their deployment area. * edit removed the example picures as they were from a scen were you apparently should only play as the attacking side so pretty poor example * [ July 28, 2007, 09:18 AM: Message edited by: Panzer76 ]

Ok, after a lot of fuss getting the game from Paradox (since they released it sooner, and cheaper (DL only) than BTS, go figure)and played a few games, I can only say,*yawn*. The TacAI is hopeless, that is, if there is any, cos most of the time, the troops just sit there, doing nothing. No no, not defending troops, but the attacking ones. Typical, the battle starts (scenarios), the enemy forces just sits there, doing *nothing* for a few minutes. Moves a little bit, stops again, does nothing. If the enemy actually manages to move close enough to me for them to get in range, they come in drib and drabs are easily eliminated. The poor TacAI also makes for every game being a push over, no matter if your Syrian or US, does not matter. It could be good if I could play vs humans perhaps, but oh, I cant play WEGO in TCP/IP, great. I dont bother playing WEGO vs the AI, no need, as nothing much happens. This game seems to have a lot of potential, but as a single player game, this game is almost broken. I really hope this will be improved with later patches, otherwise its money down the toilet.

This is a BIG letdown. Ive also been reading these forums daily, and NOWHERE has it been stated that there would be no WEGO with TCP IP battles.

I ll make dinner now, and relax a bit, if its not up when I come back, I ll DL it from Paradox, no big drama, just one less sale for BTS, too bad.

Paradox has released patch 1.01 now. No need to be waiting around here to buy it.

Lol Perhaps we can do some QBs again in SF

Heh, seems some of you got it upside down. I did not start any "war of reviews", the people that dismissed any critique of CMSF in the reviews did. Not only did they dimiss it, they also were looking down on the reviwers and made fun of them. Now, let me make one thing clear. Its *because* Im so hopeful, and conserned for the future of CM, that Im raising the Qs. But as you say, it does not matter much now, it will be released tomorrow, and I'll see for myself, when I buy and DL the game. Yep, thats right, I wont bother trying the demo, I ll buy it straight away. I think that says something about my trust and my expectations, more than any jibba jabba on the forums.

ASAP I hope

So he does NOT have his own scenarios included in the game? Indeed.

The fact that the reviwer has ANYTHING to do with the game he reviews, being it his scenarios or what not, does not make him objective in my book.

Define "worse". Worse graphics? Probably. Worse gameplay? Not necessarily. </font>

This is what gets me worried. As for the reviews, out of the 3 Ive seen, 1 has said it was excellent, and that was from a person that was involved in the Beta. Not exactly reassuring. As a customer, I do not care how many people that are working on a game that I buy, compared to a big budget game. Are you saying that I will have to excpect that games from small companies, like BTS, will be worse than the ones from EA etc? Well then, why even bother buying anything from you? I just dont get why you harp about how little resources you have. It does not matter to the end customer. Also, I dont think the beta testers do anyone any favours by pissing on the reviewers that does not think this game is as great as they think. If anything, its a mistake. It just makes the impression that we cant really trust what they say about the game, because they are zelouts and nothing is wrong in their eyes. Now, I will prob download this game the moment its for sale, because of the excellent CM series. But I dont really think all the reponses made here by BTS and their testers reflect on them in a positive manner.

Hey mister, your forces were always pushovers too and I never blamed the game for that. </font>

Well, that scenario sure looked like a push over for the Americans... hope its not an example of how the game will turn out to be.

It could be that the reviwer has not done the best of work, but keep in mind, that unlike 99% of you, he HAS played the game, and you havent. So just perhaps, he has a bit more background to comment on the game, than you guys. I see this all over the place, fanboys that get all upset because theur fav game does not get great reviews. Sometime its the reviwer, but more often than not, its the game.

I agree. I played many a CM battle online, and it was always though to find opponents. But no gamespy please!!!!

Oh look, he aint dead! Hiya spoon!

The differences between CMBB and CMAK are due to the typical type of armour you would face (homegeous vs face harden, and how brittle the armour was) on the different fronts. These affect the different types of ammo penetrations abilities, and thus the penetration chart example was change to better reflect this.

How many of those are attack maps? Defend maps? ME maps? Ofcos, it also depends on how fast there will be new maps available, the quality of those and how easy they are to get. In the end, I think the auto gen maps will be missed no matter what, its just a question of how much they will be missed.

There should be a pre order option for us folks that just want to download the game, with no extra frills. Like others do, pre orders can download the game before the release date, but with a missing component, which you can only download on the release date, thus activate the game. This way you will also avoid the immense network traffic that a release for everybody at the same time, generates. Takes some time to download the game when its 5kb/s transfer rate.. would be quicker to get it in the retail shop I guess

Well.. a bit sceptical about this. One thing was QB vs AI in CM, while it could not attack very well, it was ok on the defence, and I played MANY a QB vs the AI. Also, if the game cannot randomly generate maps, it also means that we will be playing custom made maps in human vs human battles. I certaintly do not like that aspect. With random generated, its a fresh tactical challange everytime. Sure, the maps may not always be brilliant, but they ARE new. Now, we will be playing pre made maps, and certaintly some of them many times over. Click "QB" with human opponent, map loads, and "oh, that map again..". Sure, many more maps will be made for in the future, but we will never again get "fresh" genereated maps it seems.

1. Whats the reason for that? 2. Will this be patched later?
