I wonder how BTS will portray infantry hair in CMBB(?). Last I heard was that each strand will be seperately modeled and will house accurately portrayed dandruff flakes, which is a plus since hair is really lacking in CMBO. I really haven't gotten a true "feel" for the hair thus far. Is accurately portrayed acne too much to ask for? [ May 01, 2002, 03:55 PM: Message edited by: AnonymousOxide ]

CMBB is canceled, BTS is releasing an updated graphics version of Oregon Trail in it's place. Pffft, Where have you people been?

Yeah, good points, but I think it's obvious that BTS isn't modeling some sort of "quick stop" tank characteristics here, it's simply a game engine limitation. How hard would it be to include generic deceleration for armor? Armor, if I'm not mistaken, is the least abstracted in the game, and I really think deceleration shouldn't be overlooked. Currently the armor in CM has a nice feel; isn't heavy on abstraction; should be pushed further. I wish someone from BTS would give us a reply.

In CMBO, you'll notice that armor that is stationary takes a little while to pick up speed, it accelerates slowely then finally reaches it's top speed for the terrain it's rolling on. The problem is that when it reaches it's destination, it just stops instantly, no deceleration at all, quite annoying. So, will this change in CMBB? Has BTS said anything about this? It should be fixed.

Ugh. If you had a PC, I would gladly donate my PII 400 CPU and 16mb Diamond Viper to the cause - I am upgrading to a 1.7 AMD and 64MB TNT card this summer.</font>

I was just wondering as I only have a 300 Mhz and wont be upgrading any time in the next two or three years. </font>

Lol, nice, thanks. Still though, they really need to feed us some fresh from the oven steaming hot screen shots, a whole bunch of them. The pics on combatmission.com aren't enough to satisfy my appetite.

Those pics took my 56k modem to school. *Bump*

Funny, WarCraft 3 is scheduled for late June at the earliest, but it's in beta right now with only a few weeks to go until completion. They've released a whelth more info compared to CMBB. This might be in the FAQ, but will there be a beta before release? And, I'm curious, will the game be packaged in one of those niffty little "mini-me" computer game boxes (you know, the ones that everyone is switching to) instead of the expected -"they sent me the manual, but where the hell is the game!?- type packages?

I haven't been keeping track of CMBB news and am wondering if I've missed anything important, like important announcements. What I'm really curious about is the release date, any solid info?
