???? And greetings to mother ! //Salkin

Now I did... Thanks Vergeltungswaffe....and sorry to the rest of you. //Salkin

Edited , cause I'm a nag with short attention span. Thanks for the answer Hunter ! //Salkin [ July 02, 2006, 11:19 AM: Message edited by: Salkin ]

Does this mean we can't rip on Emrys any more ? I'm 31....and for each one of these threads I answer, another year or two drips away, so please stop with the "how old are you" threads . //Salkin

All the time spent on these forums made me pick up CMBB and CMAK again too . //Salkin

Stop waffling people and read the latest blog dag nabbit ! //Salkin

Wow...looks like there's an opportunity knocking for Dan . Moon, keep bugging Steve. I can really get used to reading these bloggs . And as for the rest of Battlefront (you know who you are) GET BACK TO WORK !! //Salkin

Cool! Congratulations on the nice grade ClaytoniusRex. Maybe I'll get this game after all... //Salkin

Awesome...nice to see some new pics. I asked Moon in the other thread but I'll ask you too Hunter: Will any smaller campaigns ship with the game (battalion sized or maybe even company sized)?

I will probably mostly play company or battalion sized campaigns (will the game ship with any small campaigns Moon ?). And when playing I will probably only play out the most important battles in CMBB. I may also play this game with friends vs the AI, where my different friends handle different units. Could be cool . //Salkin

Hmm...I try to push the thumbnails but I don't get a bigger picture. Anyways, nice graphics and thanks for the updates . //Salkin

This is the wrong thread for intelectual ramblings Winecape. //Salkin Hellooooo mother !

Dumber then Dorosh, moahahaha...ops...

Spoilsport //Salkin

Depends.....the earlier models used to have shells like that, but I'm not sure they are putting those in the game. Hmm...Dorosh is that the model F Assault Lobster or is it the regular H one ? //Salkin

I think that is because 6-8 years ago BTS (as it was then) was breaking a whole lot of new ground and to a certain extent groping in the dark. It was natural then for them to be bouncing ideas off of us (a much smaller group back then) to try to figure out what would work, both as a convincing representation of history and as a fun game. Now though, they have much greater confidence in their own vision of how things should go and don't feel they need as much day to day input on each tiny detail. Time will tell whether and how much that view is correct, but it seems like that is the premise they are operating on. Then too, there is the problem of what might be called industrial espionage. Back in the beginning, most of the old pros didn't think BTS had anything worth stealing, that what they were trying to do could not be done, and that BTS was simply wasting their time. BTS could afford to be very open about what it was doing. Then when CM:BO took off like a rocket, suddenly BFC's (as it had by then become) plans and techniques were worth glomming onto. There was even a guy who showed up a few months after the release of the game who was urging BFC to become a publicly traded company so he could buy stock! It was pretty clear from his posts and his hasty departure that he hadn't the slightest interest in the game as a game, but only as an investment opportunity. As a consequence of those and other factors, BFC now have to play their cards closer to their chests to avoid getting ripped off by third-rate wannabes. Sad but true. Welcome to the capitalist system. Michael </font>

Another thing to think about is , that if they started hyping the game too much now with screenshots and stuff and then released the game a year later the waiting would be totally unbareable and they would probably loose customers. When they are near release I'm pretty sure they will send out screens and anouncements to several gaming sites/mags so that all the old fans will return in droves. Until then , play some more Oblivion....it's not a bad game you know . //Salkin

it's aliiiive !!!! Thanks for the update Hunter! //Salkin

Good to see . //Salkin

Can't post a link here, it's against forum policy. Try googling Taleworlds or Mount & Blade. //Salkin

One indie game worth looking out for is Mount & Blade. Just a tip for all jaded gamers out there. Itdoesn't come close to beating Combat Mission but it's fun for a while. //Salkin

Very nice //Salkin

Ok, guys now they know that we are here. Stop these useless comments or you can no longer keep your honorary titles as lurkers ! A lurker lurks dag nabbit and lurking is done in the shadows, so it is written and so it shall be done ! //Salkin

I agree with what Gpig said . Guys go outside, drink a few beers, play some CM or watch a few pixar movies. Do something other then hassle Steve. They have a small and very dedicated crew. I promise you guys that they are working their butts off. I'm off to buy another game while waiting. //Salkin

Another lurker , doing his lurking.... //Salkin
