You can pause on elite. You can't issue orders during a pause on elite.

Can anyone prove that these are connected? To me they just sound like the comments on xbox.com that such and such game bricked someone's 360. Those would fly fast and furious with every game release, and then it turns out that they were completely untrue (because the problem was the hardware ).

And the windmill you're tilting at in this case is the forum software?

I...recognize every word in that sentence, and understand none of it, Mr. Panza.

Kieme, you learned a very important lesson here today. You tried and failed. The lesson is, never try.

Dammit, maggots. Sergei thinks he's on to my magnificent plan (well, actually it would be JaguarUSF's plan), but he doesn't know the half of it.

In the QB, are you sure you were in the setup zone? I had one last night where I thought I was in the setup zone because the ground was all the same color, but it turns out that all of my units were outside of the zone. When this happens, you can't place your units anywhere. Was the ground under the units in the QB a different color than normal desert?

So, merely out of morbid curiousity, what is your post, and what do you expect to come of it?

Is this a scenario? The designer may have locked the units in place and not allowed them to be moved.

Ah google. Do no evil, but parse the client's email to deliver targeted ads. I shudder to think of what they'll send to you. Word of warning: lately emails I've received from other gmail users have been sent straight to spam - and with as much spam as you'll get on gmail, those can get lost pretty fast.

I like the idea of a new level - veteran plus - that is Elite without the pause restriction. Saying "play veteran" is about as helpful as saying "don't pause." I want all the realism factors of Elite, but I want the pause.

Amen. And, Congrats on getting the Editor's Choice from WorthPlaying!!

I dont' see the reason to attack dale for his QB preferences. I really love CMSF so far. But, right now, I do have issues with the QB system. I, too, enjoyed the ability to have random maps & select units. I understand the reasons why the random maps are gone for good - and I'm cool with that. I understand the reasoning why selecting units is gone for good; but I hope that at least BF.C will at least consider giving the user the chance to select from pre-created formations. I don't need points or anything like that. If there are, for each game size, a list of the available formations (with details on what's included), that's enough for me. I have no idea how hard this is to program; it's just a feature that would be very welcome. Edit: It would be sort of like presenting the user with acceptable army lists for the game size - and if the handicapping feature made it overly complex, I for one (though I know I'm just one person) would jetison the handicapping system. And if you broke the system down further and said I could pick one from category A, two from category B, and one from either category C or category D, I'd be over the moon. Also, now that random map generation is gone, I think the ability to select maps will be key. While I did some QBs on random maps in CMx1, I think I did just as many on user created maps. If you want to use a specific map with new forces (and an unknown opponent), the current system doesn't work very well. Last, I am sure BF.C already knows about the bug in QBs where it places forces outside their setup zone at the start. They can't be returned to their setup zones nor placed, and, in many cases, if you do try to play the battle, this results in one side showing up as the targets in a turkey shoot. So - I love the game outside of QBs right now. For QBs to become an enjoyable part of my gameplay experience, those are the modifications (and critical bug fix) that I'd like to see.

Good morning, maggots!

Sergei has received the first preludes to face-melting TNT. Hmm. Lots of desert out there. This could be ugly. Steady men, there's more matchsticks where those came from.

:mad: Sent. :mad:

I am not aware of any character ever played by Chow Yun Fat by that name. So, no. God of Gamblers would work.

Which was the one in CMx1? </font>

Just call me Tequila. No, really. CALL ME TEQUILA, DAMMIT!!!! :mad:

Part of the challenge was to send the email you idiot. F'ing penguins. :mad:

Pay up, Ruddy. :mad: :mad: :mad:

I'm playing red on red MOUT right now in PBEM, using a shipped scenario.

Which was the one in CMx1?

In for a lira, in for a pound? Sergei, any preferred settings? Apropos to your comment, I want to take all uncons.
