1. How do you get a MBT or other armor vehicle in more of a hull-down position? When I used hunt to a berm, they moved up onto the berm and eventually got taken out. 2. Will a TOW equipped Hummer or Bradley, or Stryker use the TOW automatically, or do you have to force it? I've only seen the Bradley's firing there cannons. 3. Is there a line of sight tool? 4. Is there a way to toggle off all the overlay for a better screenshot of picture? 5. and finally, not me...but a friend and I attempted to play last night, as soon as he started CMSF his teamspeak would no longer transmit, but he could hear me... anyone else have this problem, and know why or how to fix it? Thx for your time.

Thx... I got a completely new system, un-licensed, un-installed it on the old one before selling it...and printed out my key but god know where that is, guess I'll try the e-mail thing. thx again.

excuse me, isn't this the place to ask questions, like how to get my key again so i can play the update? I sure hope battlefront staff monitor and assist in this forum.

Now that CMSF has been patched, and installing it on a ew system, how do I get the key sent to me again? thx

Just to clarify, I just posted the link... Moon (Martin) did the AAR.

http://www.simhq.com/_land2/land_055a.html Check it out, very nice read and tons of new screens... just when I thought It was time to give up on WW2 games, another comes along.

Just wondering, and want to verify before buying the download version... Whats the protection, can I download on my desktop, save to disk and install on my laptop (I like playing these games at work, saving desktop playing for the high intense games)... My laptop doesn't have internet, so it couldn't do a check on it... don't want it if can't take on my laptop trips... so any info would be appreciated.

been a while since I played... where is the exe for T72... don't see it in the explorer list.

Thx, that must be it...

Hello, been quite a while since I visited these CM forums... haven't played any of my CM games in months... Since then I got a new system, specs below, went to play all three of my CM games... all have a white background where the text is... Was wondering if this is a common problem and if theres a work a round? any info would be appreciated?

Man Dogface... the time it took you to print screen, edit in the highlights, and re-post it you could of answered the mans question about 10 times... ridiculous. ANSWER: Go into the game folder. You will several batch files. missed is the Mission Editor bilded is the Building Editor cfg launnches the full configuration program core is the AI docrtine and scripts utility

BUSTED, lol... good one gunner

A friend and I tried it... we connected but the multiplayer code is so bad... it was a snail crawl for whoever joined... even with a extra high broadband connection... and state of the art system. but feel free to try yourselves and report. Of course... any and all are welcome to use my open and dedicated team speak gaming server to find players and try it out. www.magnumland.com right on top is the direct connect link.

AHHH... are you aware there is no multiplayer mode in T72? (except of course a LAN) Your confusing me.

I would love it... but how do you plan on doing this? Do you mean your setting up a LAN Party somewhere? or did you find a work-a-round for online playing?

Nice review there Hedgehog... and agree with all you said...same pluses and minuss... thats a sign of a good review, if there reader agrees.

1. Don't buy it then, heck...boycot and never buy from Crazy House or Battlefront again if you feel that strong. 2. If there was a game out there like you said with terrorist flying Boeing's into buildings... guess what... i wouldn't buy it or even go to there website or forum. 3. I don't know much about that war... understand it was terrible... but I've seen nothing in this game that allows me to slaughter Innocent civilians or doing anything morally wrong...except for simulating death of other military equipment and men. 4. and like I said, I don't know much about this conflict... but the game allows you too play both sides. So... in conclusion... go away, don't buy it... don't support Crazy House or Battlefront... go play some clean wholesome game like Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Nice...thanks for the link.

My belief is the driver... he determines whether you live or die by putting you in the right hull down position. you can drive and hit 3 then 2... and everything is done for you, you pick the spots to hull down too... the AI driver is a MORON... almost every time I let the AI drive, even with giving proper orders, they drive me right into someones line of fire.

Moon, how did you do the desert winds environmental sounds... incredible... don't stop, keep them coming... I'd like to see a defense map... where we start on the outer perimeter in dug in hull down positions, while a wave of enemy come... then just when about to be overwhelmed pop smoke, and back up to secondary and final dug in hull positions around a base... with as many tanks, vehs, and inf as the game can handle... just an idea...last line of defense.

Very nice Moon... and even with the title... you got me... beutiful... now thats a true definition of AMBUSH. Loved it, keep em coming, since I can only do single missions till patched. Got to go try it again... thx again... wish there was a way for random placement... once you know, it kinda ruins the surprise.

Just put this video together of the after action review, where you can see each vehicle and what took it out... it's a small part of a bigger project I'm doing...just sharing it for people still debating/thinking about the game... http://www.magnumland.com/Downloads/Death%20and%20Destruction.avi DivX codex required, recommend you right click and save as

I've had to shelve this great game till it's patched due to the lock ups... I've been playing it since it first shipped to me every day... I've played all the single player missions, and all the ones Moon released, along with his desert mod... I've loved it all... but now I started the campaign, I completed the first mission without a problem, but playing the 2nd mission, which takes about an hour on each attempt, and it locks up at different times... I've played it about 20 times, the first 10 was me dying before I completed the mission, but then the last 10 or so, I'd finish the mission and get the lock up on the return to start trip... 10 hrs on one mission, I don't have enough time.. I'll wait for the patch, since this is a very common incident, I assume it will be addressed and hopefully fixed.

Thats weird about your framerate problems... because I do got a great system, but so do you, Snakeeyes, and I have no framerate problem at all, average is around 35, and even with fraps running in the background and capturing the footage, it's still very playable. (the 2 movies I have made are posted here)... I have everything on the highest settings and run my machine just like your settings Snakeeyes. P4-2.75 2 gig RAM Raedon 850 XT w/256 Soundblaster 2x250 hd Win XP all updated 1024x768x32@75 My biggest complaints, and I've been playing it every day since release... Battlefield Immersion sucks (stuck on mission 2 of campaign, so can't report that it gets better later) Friendly unit controls suck... can't set up a series of waypoints or timing... want to use proper ambush, flanking, and bounding overwatch commands with my troops and fellow units, but not happening. and camera controls... more views would of been nice, like a tactical view, aerial view, missile/round view etc etc other then those major problems... I'm loving it. Just my 2 cents also. I give it a honest B- (lets hope the add-on can bring it up to A material, because I don't see them adding/fixing those in a patch.)

So there I was, My men and I with our one lonely T72, caught in the rear in a violent desert storm from the day earlier... after finally finding our location, we knew what we had to do, we knew where we had to go... strait through the enemy line, we already had the enemy coming up our rears, non-stop, strait through... will we make it? Really, I was just messing around, wondering if I would have the luck, and driving skill to zig zag my way through to a victory, nothing fancy, just was collecting footage for a bigger, better video project... and thought I'd throw this together for fun.
