OK, thanks

I have noticed in two screenshots a different appearance of compass. In this one, it seems a normal compass: while in this one there is a sort of coloured arc with an eye and an arrow: What does it indicate the second one?

Thanks to all BF.C. I am definitely impressed by the huge work. The game really seems to be a big hit!

I am guessing a late (2011) spring release, but I am hoping in a (2010) Christmas opening for the website. At least something more meaty to chew

thank you jnt62006, your first tutorial will be my evening reading tonight!

Very interested in reading the kind of tutorial you are proposing. Thanks in advance

By the way, what about CM:Normandy website?

thank you Berto! But it's too late... I have postponed it for a decade!

damn! i'll have to wait at least two weeks before buying... tomorrow I'm going to marry!

I'm afraid you will have to find something else to do this weekend... You could go out for a breath of fresh air, for example!

I think that in the meantime you could get CMSF base game + Marines and British modules. This way you will have a lot of irons in the fire that the wait for NATO won't be a pain.

What I meant with my topic (a mere speculation, I know ) is that the trailer videos show that the camouflage schemes of German and Dutch Leopard are *exactly* the same with the colour patches all in the same position and of the same size. I know that all NATO countries use the same camo scheme (green-brown-black), but the arrangement of these colour patches is probably different from country to country. So when I saw the two tanks one the exact copy of the other (apart from national markings), it seemed a bit odd to me... But, as I say again, it is not a big issue. The fact is that while I am waiting for this module to be released, I am watching time and again the available media and subtleties like these arise sometimes

Just to split hairs... I was watchng the NATO video teasers and noticed that German and Dutch Leopard 2 have exactly the same camouflage scheme (i mean even the patches have the same shape and position). Shouldn't they be somehow different?

Yes, you are right. Actually, I think that they used the same helmet model of Syrian army in CMSF. I agree that these details don't spoil the game, but they make the difference in terms of historical accuracy and immersion (especially at ground level! ) Is it feasible that in a future patch the helmet model can be modified?

I don't see any utility in having blood in a wargame.

I would like to see better animations for: - the transition from standing to prone; - infantry carrying heavy weapons or equipment; It would be also good to have more variants of common animations (walk, run, man and fire weapons, etc..) in order to give a more natural look to pixeltroops

Yup, it seems odd that a Beta Tester revamps a thread older than 1 year... What's cooking??

CM:N itself

There will be two of us 50 y.o. then, *sob*

I think the amount and kind of info on BF.C site is symptomatic of which game will be published first: - we have a website, a fairly large amount of in-game pictures and a video about NATO module, which I'm expecting to be out at the end of July or at least at the beginning of August (by similarity with the British module); - we have a website, some in-game pictures and an AAR about CM:A which could mean we are near to the publishing but I can't say exactly when; - we have some screenshot of CM:N but no official website, neither an official title, so I am afraid we are months away from its publishing (which is not necessary negative, if this means a solid final product)

You seem to be right. From other pictures of the real thing, it seems that an average man is tall as the rear hull, while the screenshot from the game shows a taller rear hull, so maybe something is wrong

Yes, but that river seems pretty dry...

Well, I was not so confident that the 6th of June could be a release date for CM:N when I started this thread. I would be content just with some sort of update on the status of the game

The Date is approaching... will there be any news/announcements re CM:N?

I guess it's due to alpha status of the screenshots
