I don't think APHV or APDS would make good IED, though...

Mwuahahahaha.... Funniest pic ever..
Well, for this year at least

Obviusly those aliens are have spent unknown time playing CMBO, CMBB and CMAK. They're in distress after finding out that CMSF will not include their favorite module. Pretty soon I'm sure they will visit Steve to air their "grievances"

Do you happen to have any AAR for us? That'd be great, I enjoy reading AARs from the previous CM games.Originally posted by JaguarUSF:I got my dirty little hands on some of the official scenarios, so you can consider the following an addendum to my review.
It's clear that CMSF will totally kick your ass if you just go after the enemy straight on. Most of the ones I played put the Syrians in good defensive positioning and they have enough weaponry to take out a vast majority of your Stryker-lead forces at short to medium ranges. Gasp! It's almost like real war, where you must plan ahead of time and soften them up with artillery or long range weapons before you go in, or engage them at large distances. City fighting is especially intense, with lots of enemy units hiding in buildings and the line of sight rules means people can sneak up on you, conventional or otherwise (and the "otherwise" can equal "big boom"). People accustomed to more "traditional" (and by "traditional" I mean "retarded," and by "retarded" I mean this) RTS games will be in for a shock, as well as people from previous CM games; the lethality of modern vehicles and weapons is much higher at further distances. No longer do tanks and APCs dominate the battlefield: a well placed infantry unit with an RPG can make quick work of them. You had better worry about cover for not just your infantry, but also your Strykers: sitting them in open ground is asking for trouble. CMSF is looking like a very authentic tactical wargame.

This thread is entertaining...
-
So, tell us more about the much-lauded Javelin's in-flight trajectory...
-
History already judged that there were other more pressing matters to be dealt with. Africa, for example...
-
Perhaps we will be able to play from the perspective of the grunts on the ground, a la Battlefield?
I wish.....
-
So, a Syrian player will not have to worry about friendly fire from the sky. That should be an advantage...
-
That box cover looks a little bit.. unconvincing. Hope they have other versions.Originally posted by Cpl Steiner:I must say, the box mock-up makes the date more convincing. Why go to the trouble of doing a box mock-up for advertising unless the game is very near to being released?

And what Other Things that we could simply think of right now?Originally posted by Moon:I don't want to rain on anybody's parade but until you hear a date that is confirmed by us, Battlefront, you should simply think of other things.

The historical success of the Flak 88 in AT role is clear to everyone. I'm curious though, how well did it perform in AA role? I'm sure there are plenty of historical accounts of Flak 88 employed for it's originally intended purpose, can anyone point one to me?
-
Excellent, I'm drooling already
So, there will be no single player campaign from the Syrian side?
And what about campaign editor (if there's such thing.....)?
-
Say, Steve, do you have any estimate of foreign intelligence services browsing and lurking in this forum?
-
Any chance of a Hind making an appearance, although with extreme rarity?
-
My impression is that it was a staged photo op. The marines look relaxed, and no way somebody's gonna be busy taking pictures if they actually believed that they were really clearing a room with possible insurgents inside.
-
I'm a bit surprised by this. I remember AK's were banned from US troops in Iraq a while ago, and now WWII vintage?Originally posted by Lascar:Apparently some American soldiers in Iraq prefer to use the PPSh.
-
Mujahedeen v.s. Soviet troops. Don't know exactly the timeframe when they started employing heavily armed picku-up trucks offensively though. It really picked-up in the ensuing civil war.
-
Perhaps the first time such vehicles were encountered en masse? Maybe Chad v.s Libya? Or was it Afghanistan....
-
I know he should have been more polite. I would have just ignore any perceived personal attack. I still think that no ban was necessary, but it's Steve's call. Really looking forward to his return.
-
On the contrary.... Looking forward to read more of your posts.I hope I haven’t been “boring”.

Do Iraqis seem subserviant to you? Syrian insurgents just took out 100 of your best of the best last month and 6 this weekend.Originally posted by LoneSyrian:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Sixxkiller:
Come this time next year we may be acquiring Syrian bones. We'll even have to create a new holiday for that. Who'll be subserviant then? Woof
The "new holiday" is alive and well here, it's called Yanks Bone Collectors. Woof yaself.
And shouldn't you be shopping for body armor and shipping it to your cousins. </font>

Just wondering, do they find it offensive? Isn't that what they do, taking up arms primarily for money?Originally posted by fytinghellfish:Hey, I understand. I talk to several of the guys, and they really, really don't like to be called mercenaries. Like I said, symantics.
