  1. Lack of a demo upset me, as it was promised a long time ago (by the developers, I recall). Regarding the tech support and whatnot extra threads a demo would produce, lack of a demo produces endless when-will-it-be-released and will-it-run-on-my-386 threads, so it really is a wash. OTOH I can wait for the demo and then make up my mind, hopefully the end product is good and carries me over to the next CM game, maybe even the next WW2 CM. Regarding the download for pre-orders... 2.5gb is a lot to download. Maybe the actual date was kept secret just to have a connection to the old BFC tradition of the night of the refresh monkeys. It's good to have traditions, no ?
  2. You got me wrong, and I'm sorry. I wasn't clear and should've added some smilies or somesuch. I wasn't saying the game will be crap, in fact I'm looking forwards to it. Modern combat in an urban environment will be great, it will truly be something never before seen in a tactical combat sim. Sorry for "demanding" an answer (I thought the "demand" would be taken as a joke), sorry for "quoting" a "study". There actually is no "study" I was referring to, other than the post oren_m made. What I would've liked was numbers and the actual "hard cold facts". Posts in other threads have the Syrians seem as a competent fighting force, even BFC chimed in. Oren_m's post made them seem like boyscouts with firearms (not that scouts can't be brutal). What got me is the phrase: "These commando units are under-trained and under-equiped, the standarts for joining in to theses units is 10 years in school, which makes the manpower's skills very poor. In general, the syrian commando is infirior to any US army unit, so, imageine how is their army like..." Is this a given fact ? Is this what it will be in-game ? Now I'm not looking for a "stereotypical cold war style conventional warfare", I've read what you (BFC) are up to and I'm liking it. What I wanted to dispute was the "total suckage" of the Syrian armed forces as reported by oren_m, as a generalization. But then again: "Hey, I've been saying since day one that the Syrian conventional forces suck" so who am I to say, I've never studied them. I've read the reasoning behind the game and I'm thinking it'll be great.
  3. This viable and accurate study got me thinking... Since the syrians have no real anti-tank threat, going by the clear numbers in the study, to counter the american M1 AND these very, very few pieces of hardware in the hands of complete tossers (as per the study above, all incompetent fools), why is BFC even making a game about Syria, as it is, as shown in the study, clearly complete waste of time. Regular army units being peasants with pitchforks and elite commandos peasants with AKs, why does BFC waste time with this, clearly onesided piece of crap ? I DEMAND an official response, as the study shown is both an accurate and clearly well informed study on the subject.
  4. I actually own Squad Leader, (about) half of the unit markers made by myself, old original ones lost or too worn out. Rules look old too, rips on some pages. Bought my copy from a flea market (not sure of the word here) some years ago (5 or so, maybe more), thought myself lucky, still having fun with it, gaming with my friends. Maybe the nick was left untouched out of reverence, maybe everybody thought it'll already be taken. Great game. Welcome to the community.
  5. 2003 Game of the year Poll, Pelit magazine, Finland: winner Silent Storm (2004 winner HL2, SS:Sentinels 12., polls taken at the end of a year). Turn based games live and flourish. Please don't beat the horse while it's still standing. PS. Just to make things clear: HL2 had close to 5 times the votes of the runner up, Rome: Total War on the 2004 GOTY Poll. Pre-game jitters, I'd say, play the game and see, no need for excess glory, HL2 pales in comparison to the effect of HL when released. [ February 03, 2005, 06:11 PM: Message edited by: SaTyR ]

  7. Both of my grandparents from my fathers side were hospitilized today, pa having a stroke and ma not coping without him. I'm not trying to steal the show, I just want to say that I understand the worry for one's loved ones. I am not a praying man, I don't belong to any religion, but my thoughts are with you Tom and your son Matthew as much as they are with my grandparents. No need for extra suffering in this world of ours. Hoping all fares well, Valtteri
  8. And I thought the measure of a true waffler was the anger he/she displayed. I know there were these "angry faces" in MG posts. These "angry faces" were but a trinket in the arsenal of MasterGoodale. The anger was the true weapon. There has been no true anger on the "CWT", as the looser calls it, THERE HAS BEEN NO CHUCKING OF TNT ! We need the TNT. The Master needs TNT. No amount of "angry faces" equals to good TNT chucking. Chuck some TNT, "angry faces" are for children like Boggs and Snarker, for they are but larvae in the hierarchy of the maggot kind. One happy face for Snarker, so that he knows I'm angry and chucking TNT ->

  10. Please note that Master Goodale (the Maggot) uses BOLD lettering in his garagaraga's. :mad: Given SdFgHjKkLzCbY's obvious difficulty with certain keyboard functions, I think that, while his historical research was clearly on the up and up, the application of said research was lacking in accurate data transmission. So hold yer tater. :mad: </font>

  12. BAH ! You know NOTHING ! The "GGGGG GG G G ARGR GG G GAGRGRA RGARG GRG G GGRAGRAGR AGARGRA GRAGRAGRGRA GRA GRGR GRAGRA GG GG G G G GG G G GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG G GG GG GGAG RAGRA GRAGR AGR GRRG GRGR GR AGRAGRRGA GRAGR!!!!!!!!!!!" is a direct quite from the master himself. Evidence: link to your shame You have been shamed. Now do as the honorable ones do on the moment of shame and take your life. I think the rest of the waffle thread would approve. Non-maggot. Let the mold and the ants take your carcass.

  14. BWAHAHAHAAA ! Silly hobbit ! Worst cheery waffle thread topic ever ! An acronym just wont do, even an outsider like me notices a FRAUD when he sees one. A proper topic has the words "cheery" "waffle" and "thread" in it. MasterGoodale will spin in his mold and ant infested grave. The "CWT" deserves better "Snarker", this just wont do. Regulars of the cheery waffle thread should unite and slap this "Snarker" fellow on all his four cheeks for this travesty. No more thread starting for this excuse of a cheery waffler, just humiliation and pain. And as the master himself would express it: GGGGG GG G G ARGR GG G GAGRGRA RGARG GRG G GGRAGRAGR AGARGRA GRAGRAGRGRA GRA GRGR GRAGRA GG GG G G G GG G G GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG G GG GG GGAG RAGRA GRAGR AGR GRRG GRGR GR AGRAGRRGA GRAGR!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

  16. *Clearing throat* Ultima Underworld... Ultima Underworld II... But Torment was quite good too, for a computer RPG, as was Morrowind, but i prefer the pen-and-paper variety (now Cyberpunk, the simplicity gives GM overwhelming freedom, I like other RPGs too, Twilight2k, Shadowrun, even fantasy stuff). On topic: HoI, Dominions 2, CMBB (no self respecting finn plays in the sand), Morrowind (again), Jagged Alliance 2 (for the umphteenth time)
  17. Now that was GREAT ! Damn me for being so lazy in school and never doing my german homework. A translation of sorts would be nice. Great work !
  18. But I don't want or need MasterGoodale's house. There's mice, mold and ants in it, and I'd probably run into MasterGoodale himself. You go and pick it up. Or is picking up houses strictly an Uberfinn thing ?
  19. OMG ! nuff' said ! Edited to say: if this is a BONE, then I'm not filled with any. If this is a bone, I'm just a worthless sack of flesh. OMFG ! (the "F" needs no explanation, I guess) [ August 21, 2003, 05:28 PM: Message edited by: SaTyR ]
  20. Ari's post http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=23;t=001208#000000 was so funny that I had to find it and show it to all you maggots. Searched using the word "pinecone", still a standard finnish AT weapon or as they say in this thread: :mad: :mad: :mad:
  21. Kiitos ! Olisin remontin takia varmaan tämän missannut, kun telkkukin on siirretty lautatavaran tieltä nurkkaan pölyttymään. Nyt sille pitää vain löytää tukeva alusta... ja sähköä...

  23. The correct region on the list is FINLAND, not North.
