Sorry laddie... no Cesspatrol membership for you. First you must prove that you can crash without needing the intervention of the telephone. [ July 09, 2002, 12:47 PM: Message edited by: Farslayer ]

Not quite. Where's your einheitsfeldmutze? (Sorry, no umlaut or however that is spelled)

I agree Mr. Radley... Jeez! You'd think that some people never watched CSI, a cool show made cooler by Marg Helgenberger. Don't click if attractive women give you the willies... yeah, that means you Mace... and Harv. [ July 08, 2002, 12:53 PM: Message edited by: Farslayer ]

450 miles... 10 hours, 25 minutes... Hmm... On or about July 13th: "Honey, I have to run out to the hardware store for a Mark II Gefingerpoken. I hope they have it in stock at our local Home Depot, otherwise I'll have to drive to the closest one that does... I hear they stock them down in South Carolina..."

If your intent is really to ask opinion of video performance concerning only ONE game and solely its requirements, then perhaps some others statements have been overdone. I don't do Quake, or Counterstrike, or that type of game. But others I play, in addition to CM, do have video requirements, and I looked at several before going with the nVidia GeForce 3 Ti 200 a while ago because of the price/capability match, much like choosing an Athlon 1800+, which also now sits at the price/performance sweet spot. Were I only playing CM, I could have left my Creative Labs Graphics Blaster with the TNT chip in the machine... But balance is needed for best performance of all the components. No sense having a suck-a$$ video card with a kick-a$$ CPU, nor vice-versa. Since the upgrade it's all been CM:BO, IL-2, or NWN, and they all look and run sweet.

Cricket! Cricket!!! Cricket is a small nasty little critter. Whether it is family Gryllinae, Gryllotalpidae, Eneopterinae, Mogoplistinae, Myrmecophilinae, Nemobiinae, Oecanthinae, Pentacentrinae, Trigonidiinae, or even the dreaded Australianae, they all deserve to be stepped upon soundly. Soundly enough to crush their carapaces, splay their legs, and eviscerate them, thereby producing that fine cruuuunching sound that signals the end of yet another foul little insect.

They already have the sissy troops... Do a search to find an old thread named "SS troops are overpriced hamsters!" or somefink like that...

Sure there are: </font>

Why choose at all?!? Nothing better than Chicks with Tanks...

Ooooo, had lots of Shermans and it was a gas, soon found out... they were made of glass...

Might just be me, but I have never had CM crash, lock-up, or BSOD. NEXT! Hmm... I must have been asleep or somefink while the hordes of console gamers demonstrated publicly voiced their outcry over the lack of just such a game... Well, you just showed yourself to be possibly more narrow-minded that those supposed grog-types you defamed. Being only a demi-grog in comparison to some others more knowledgeable on this board, let me voice my own opinion. CM is CM and has this specific group of adherents, customers and fans because it is not Command and Conquer, it is not Red Alert, it is not Star Wars Galactic Battleground. It also is not Close Combat, another game which started out very nicely, back when it was just Atomic Games. I have Utah Beach, I have Gold, Juno, Sword. I have many of the old Atomic games, replicating board games on the PC. When CC came out, it was good, and there was GREAT POTENTIAL, but as subsequent versions came out (CC2, CC3, and a few more unsavory versions) and other companies got involved, the great potential was squandered or lost. CM is the redemption of the hard-core wargame, built by some hardcore wargamers for, guess who?, hardcore wargamers. Naturally, all the early adopters of CM (Did you pre-order the game??? I did) want to see it keep true to these roots. I personally choose to believe that BTS reached its intended audience, and that audience responded. Given the large number of fan websites with groggy content I think your statement is far wide of the mark. As for the next versions, doodads are cool, bigger battlefields are cool, more realism in the graphics is cool, and a multiplayer net game would be cool. But for me, all those features take a back seat to further improvements to any of the following: 3D analytical engine, vehicles, armaments, tactical AI, strategic AI.

Tantalizing teaser, or bald-faced lie?

I remember alot of drug-hazed college parties ending with romps in the dorm room... Maybe I'm your daddy!!! What's your mother's maiden name, and was she a blonde, brunette, or redhead in 1978-1981?

So new to the thread and already invoking Berli, although not by name...

So we have Papa Khann, non-SSN... Papa of "those cheeky little chaps in tights", ergo, Papa Smurf. Khann... hmm... sounds alot like a Chakka Khan wanna-be... You are corrrect. I do NOT want to see you in tights singing "Ain't Nobody"
