I played the original Medal of Honor on the playstation and it was a better game than the Current Medal of Honor series. Several of the stand out games have gone the same route as far as Im concerned and I am afraid that CM will follow suit with a lot of graphics and not much else. To me a game is a scaffold that boosts you up to where you can use your imagination to the fullest and this the present CM series does very well I hope that CMx2 will offer an even greater lattitude to our imaginations. poppys

Hey I typ fast.

If Madmatt locks all of the threads "will I dream"

There hasent been so much activity on this forum since.................

For me its hard to emagin how BF will create something new that will surpass what we have now, unless of course the AI is going to be a quantum leap forward.poppys

Remember the M1 Garand. :mad:

Hopefully, The BF people in charge of things like this will purchase a couple of Garands from the Civilian Marksmanship Program and do their own tests at their local firing ranges. poppys

What Im concerned about is that the M1 Garand is not recieving its due. Which is , the first and only semi automatic rifle in WW2 that was standard issue for the troops. Its increase in fire power for the individual squad member was a quantum step forward but is treated in CM as an insingnificant increase in firepower at the 100m and the 250m ranges. :confused: poppys

Hello throwdjohn, The Garand wouldnt make much of an automatic, only 8 rounds. poppys

The numbers of Shermans that were destroyed werent so much a function of their design and construction but the fact that they were used almost exclusivly in the offensive role. Even if the Pershing had been available in mid 1944 it would have sufferd a similar fate, just like the Panthers and Tigers that were used in the offensive role against the Americans and Commonwealth forces in Normandy,the Bulge,and the Lorraine campaings. poppys

Croda, How would you compare CMBO vs CMBB and CMAK. poppys

What I like about huge scenarios is that after the first setup and the initial 10 moves or so the game usually evolves into several small or medium battles all going on at the same time and the outcome of each effects the final loss or victory and you can switch troops and equipment back and forth between "sub battles" as reinforcements. I like the 120turn plus battles. It allows for more strategy than the small scenarios. poppys

I just finished playing "Clervaux Deathtrap for the 110th Infantry Reg." as Allies against the AI. This is an huge scenario very well designed and with an excellent map. I got used to the infantry model for AK during this scenario but still wound up at the same place with a lot more micro managing of the squads. I believe that AK would play better with the BO infantry model. The armor model for AK is er morefuntoplay.poppys

Thank you Skolman, The Garand is a well made rifle, good balance and not as heavy as I had anticipated,but of course after a 20 mile hike I might change my opinion on the weight. Sorry to hear that you cant own one yourself. It will take a few months to clean it up and correct some of the wear related problems with the front sight and then a safety and shooting instruction session at the local sportsmans association rifle range. And then practice practice. It would be interesting to hear from the CM community some first hand accounts of the K98 and the Enfield. poppys

My M1 Garand arrived and now the learning process starts. How to load it and how to fire it with some accuracy. Also got to field strip it and clean it up. Its in suprisingly good condition, nothing but surface dings on the wood and some wear of the metal finish. Hopefully within a few months I can post some rapid fire scores. poppys

After four years of playing BO Ive finally gotten into AK enough to appreaciate its improvements and there are quite a few. All I need now are some terrain mods to help with the 3d perception. poppys

And being able to assign a headquarters to an AFV and for that headquarters to be able to spot for the tank ie, 10m to the right and up a couple of degrees,...your rite on fire for effect, or just point and click like for mortars except that the AFV would have to have "line of sight" but being closed up couldnt see the target. This would keep the AFV under command and it wouldnt select its own target except when under threat.

Thanks for the reply Michael itl probably be in the upcomming patch. poppys

Show a track when vehicles travel thru scattered trees and other vegetation. When vehicles travel thru soft ground,mud etc. show tracks and progressive deteriation. show deteriation of dirt roads when they are under heavy use. When a vehicle boggs and is unbogged show the hole it was in and require that the vehicle use a different path. When a distant point is selected for a vehicle to travel to using a single waypoint have an option to select "cross country ok" or "stick to roads"

Il try again. During an uphill battle hot key "shift A" is used to adjust the angle up so your not looking into the ground,but when you change the "view height" the view angle goes back to where your looking into the ground again and you have to use hot key "shift A" to raise the angle again. Is there any way to make the angle stay the same when changing view height? need a "hopeful" graemlin. poppys

What bothers me is that the German 88 vs the allied 75 did not have have as much impact on the German vs American part of ww2 as the K98 vs the M1 Garand but very few people seem to realize that fact. poppys

Well i kinda figured it was so. Wouda been handy thouh. poppys

Hello junk2drive, The default angle I mean is the one that is changed in game by the hot key Shift A or Shift Z. poppys

Does anyone know of a way to change the default viewpoint angle? Thanks in advance. poppys

Thanks tooz, Im trying to convert over to playing AK but keep getting my butt kicked so maybe I need to get back to it also, I skipped over BB ,too much flat terrain, so AK Italy should be good if I can get started. poppys
