Bump (cause it has Jadgtigers in it)
-
Just signed up, I really want this to become a reality.
-
Good advice Womble, i always move my troop the last tile of cover. I will try to hang back more and see if that keeps my guys alive longer
-
I would say a WW2 game feature = realistic portrail of how things happened in WW2

Another important factor is to determine when a vehicle is knocked out. Your men do not have the ability to know for certain when an enemy vehicle is KO'ed, unless it is burning. I once reported a suspicious incident where a Sherman took 7 rounds to KO a PzIV. It turns out after talking with my opponent the German tank was KO'ed after three shots but the Sherman crew had no idea the tank was toast and kept on firing.
Very true, there is a lot of wasted ammo goes into firing at KO'ed tanks, until they brew up or there is confirmation they are abandoned. A game feature rather than a flaw.

Operation Remove ISIS, would be a great refresh for the shock force title. Would be interesting to see conscript Iraq troops in US abrams

No, not by me, although you can of course unpack them yourself.
I sort-of agree with you about extending life, but campaign scenarios are unusual in that they are designed from the outset to only ever be played one way - i.e. one side against the AI. That has lots of implications for the way they're designed and built.
Price hasn't been finalised, but I think you'll find it quite reasonable.
True, I had not considered how they relate back to the previous battles, so potentially a lot of work to make them standalone. It is good some of the maps will make there way into the QB map list.
Good to here the modules are need, and we will see the vehicle pack units in action in the battlepack.

Wow, just started the first mission, and can tell a lot of work when into this. Looks really good thanks for sharing Imperial Grunt.
-
I would like one of those in the garden!!
-
I really like it the way it is, i try to buddy aid where possible and it does slow down an advance which seems quite realistic. Adding more micromanagement would not really add anything to the gameplay.
-
Weird though it sounds, i still miss the machine gun jams that we had in CM1!! Please keep on the to do list.
-
Will the campaign battles also be available to play seperately, or are they locked into the campaign structure?
P.S. this is a great way of extending the life of the older games, so I hope more will follow if take up is good enough.
-
Well worth the upgrade in my opinion. As Sburke said the demo will tell you far more than this thread will in 1/10th of the time.

Erm, no it emphatic expletive doesn't. It says it doesn't matter what speed they're moving, you can't expect to hit anything. The "half" later in that paragraph should be a "halt". You HALT for firing, but if you're moving, move FAST. It's an axiom in Sumo, too: "When you move, move. When you are not moving, be still." O' course the reasoning behind the two are a bit difference, but stillness == stability.
That does make more sense.

And this one was probably written for me
29. Never forget that your soldiers do not belong to you, but to Germany. Personal glory hunting and senseless dare-deviltry lead only to exceptional cases to success, but always cost blood. In battle against the Soviet- Russians you must temper your courage with your judgement, your cunning, your instincts and your tactical ability. Only then will you have the prerequisites to be victorious in battle and only then will your soldiers look on you with loyalty and respect and always stand by you in untiring combat readiness.

Very interesting, especially number 8. In the attack drive as fast as you can. At slow speed you can see and shoot only a little better than at high, and are much more likely to be hit. For a tank there should be only two speeds: the half (for firing!) and all out forward. This is the basic principal of tank combat!This dispells the myth that tanks needed to stop to fire effectively i have read elasewhere.
-
After watching a program about the US armoured advance into the centre of Bagdad i was really impressed to see an Abrams driving over a concrete roadblock at full speed!! That thing was flying in the air a long time, I think this needs to be modelled in the game
On a serious note, it makes sense that tankers slow down to lessen any risk of throwing a track.
-
Good news, I am glad the future is looking good for the CM franchise
-
Looks really good.
-
BFC got stuck in their own niche and cant move forward.
And as long as they make enough money with CMx2 there is no reason for them to move a inch.
Can i amend this quote to:
BFC got stuck in there own niche and are moving it forward
As long as they make enough money there is no reason for them to change what they are doing
I will keep coming back to buy the next great game they release, so don't care much if some would class it as update/DLC whatever
-
Looking very good, I am looking forward to seeing those new tanks in action!!
-
Effectively, I thought that ChrisND coverage of Black Sea was a new way to convey information on work in progress titles by BFC, maybe it was not, or it was an experiment. Either way I really enjoyed those videos and they created a positive anticipation for me with regards to the release of CMBS.
Agreed, it was a really good way of introducing the mechanics and weaponry in the new game. Worked really well.
-
Just started exactly the same post in the CMBN section. There must be something you can tell us BF???
I think maybe they have bound and gagged ChrisND as he was a source of a lot of info for Black Sea
-
Well Battlefront's plan for complete radio silence on the new Bulge game is working too well
Does anyone have any snipets of info or leaks to share, I would love to know more on any engine updates, campaigns etc (I am not even going to mention release dates!!).

That is a great price for the battle pack!! I was worried it might be more given all the man hours needed for it, but i think you have got it right. Lets hope is sell enough to be worth continuing.
