Hold on, I'll get off of her so she can write you back... Just kidding...it's really your sister AND your mom. Hey, this is FUN! I hope I can stay here for awhile and do other stuff completely off-topic and ridiculously stupid! Now I know how stoat got 2000 posts here!

Hey, we whipped your ass in 1812, you don't want to get us Québécois riled up! </font>

Only thing I draw is my pension ...57 years old ..will not get any SS until 62 maybe. Any other questions asswipe?? And I do mean ASSWIPE. Regards, Gunz </font>

Hmm, yeah...telling me to eat your shorts is much more refined and mature than anything I've posted. Your respect isn't very high on my hierarchy of needs at the moment, but you never know...I may get to the point where it's either get gunz's respect or swallow the business end of a handgun, but don't hold your breath...don't you know that people who are full of themselves rarely want to dispose of the one they love? LMAO! As for "playing with myself", I do enjoy Singleplayer mode in CM:SF, however, anytime you want to go head-to-head, we can set it up. I'm sure you've taken some of that government assistance to pay your internet bill, so that shouldn't be a problem.

James - you HAVE to get the CM:SF demo! Especially if you like the ATF series...

If you are playing in campaign mode, I believe things like vehicle/soldier numbers and even ammo count are affected. Not sure, though, but I believe those levels are also set by the scenario designer as well.

So, how much of my tax money do you suck-up every month?

Who appointed you "arrogance patrol"? I can't help the way you feel, so my advice to you is ignore me...please?! </font>

Maybe you and stoat can get together there in the armpit of the US and he can teach you the finer points of being an assmonkey...then maybe you'll at least graduate to a productive member of society! Good luck! Regards, B00M$LANG

Sorry, but I'm a vet of many forums, and it's obvious the number of posts a person has made have little to do with their level of experience OR intelligence. This isn't meant to demean Sergei or his experience, just something I've noticed. As for Sergei, I apologized to him for not "getting" his humor, but some people insisted on being retarded assmonkeys about the subject (not you or Sergei), and want to flex their puny little muscles. Glad you're enjoying the thread, though!

I am 3 missions from the end, I think, on Veteran level.

Are you going into the acquire menu twice? If not, after you select the missiles, click on Acquire again and select the LCU. Hope this helps.

I like the way you operate. First, you call the people that posted in the thread "assmonkeys" and say in no uncertain terms that we're all flaming homosexuals. Then you proceed to the next page and make a lengthy post, that while being trite and arrogant, is slightly apologetic and makes more sense than anything else you have posted to date. If you were really interested in tactics, you could have turned your back on the assmonkeys and posted something so tactically brilliant that the rest of us would be awed at the sight of your handle until kingdom come. I, for one, know you are this brilliant, because after all, you have experience. However, you could not do this. You descended into the muck with best of them, while making sure to let everyone know that you were in fact taking the moral high ground. This merely illustrates the point that you are now, and more than likely will always be, a complete asshole. </font>

Hey BOOM$STALKER I'm convinced I said something useful 48 posts ago. I try to keep up that 1 in 50 ratio. </font>

From the Urban Dictionary: 1.assmonkey A close relative of an asshat, an assmonkey is best defined as 'any disagreeable idiot who has successfully combined being an asshole with the brainpower of a monkey fed LSD'. Eytemology is unknown, but there are perhaps links to Wayne's World, and the line "Pshyeah, and monkeys might fly out my butt." "God, could Nicholas be any more of an assmonkey? RTFM, n00b." My definition: "ASSMONKEY" (ASS-MUN-KEE), noun, an internet forum poster who believes they are divinely appointed to act like a jerk and is a legend in his or her own mind, AKA "troll", AKA "attention whore". Hope that clears things up for you! [ August 01, 2007, 08:54 AM: Message edited by: B00M$LANG ]

Your skill will improve if you read the manual and even supporting Field Manuals that support the tactics employed by the Heavy BCT and the Stryker BCT. Beleive it or not, actual tactics work in this game, and anybody can learn them if they are willing to study. If you are looking to solely beat the game, then you would also be well-served by following sound military tactics. This is NOT your regular fanboy twitchfest. You need to be methodical and deliberate, and above all, you need to KNOW the terrain and think like the enemy! If you need help getting the approved-for-release manuals, let me know and I'll help you if I can. Curt

Even though yours is basically another condescending post designed solely to ridicule, I'm going to take this opportunity to clear the air to the best of my ability. I responded to, what I saw on its face, an exceedingly bad tactical comment, joking or not, and I get swarmed by a bunch of giggling hyenas...yeah, that REALLY lends itself to a good discussion about tactics. It takes two to tango, yes? My qualifications are irrelevant, however I know there are a few people on this sight who know me in RL or from other forums, and they are quite familiar with my experience. Whether or not it is greater than anyone else's, I truly have no idea...however, from the tone of the posts in this thread, and an abject failure to understand how on earth I could have made such a mistake, does, in fact, lead me to believe that practical military experience is somewhat lacking among SOME of the posters here. That's just how I look at it. Okay...so, where do you suggest we do this without some assmonkey deciding we're getting too serious,? Wait, what? You mean you didn't get my humor? Come on, ANYONE could have guessed I was kidding W00T! Now you see what I was dealing with...a post a person later claims to have been a joke, but didn't seem like one at all on first read,...or even the second or third. Because I don't KNOW the poster intimately, I'm the jerk? Whatever. I wasn't trying to elevate anything. I saw something that struck me as quite bad from a tactical point of view and responded. The joke is on me though, because it seems the only people allowed to opine are those that have hung around here for 8000 posts without really saying anything at all. Sorry, I don't fit the bill. I try to say words of some kind of substance, but that doesn't always work, now, does it? As for jokes at my expense, I have no problems with people joking with me at all, and I love a good laugh as much as the next guy, but don't you think it is a tad bit juvenile to think that people should know what someone is thinking or feeling or intending from a post beyond what is written? Ever heard of unintended consequences? Look, I didn't come here to fight with anyone. I genuinely thought that Sergei was confused and tried to help, albeit it seems that most of you misinterpreted MY intentions much the way I misinterpreted Sergei's intentions. The problem really came in with the co-signers who had nothing constructive to say, but felt they had to somehow make their "mark" with me. I understand the internal need for some people to **** on others at times, but I've looked back through the last 50 or so posts by some of the people who felt it was their duty to come here and act like a jerk without even bothering to read the entire thread or just because I was foolish enough to expect anything serious in this part of the forum, and it just baffles me to no end, because that's ALL they do, without adding one iota to the discussion. You may enjoy people like that, but I don't. Even Sergei wasn't as condescending as some of the people in this thread, so thanks, Sergei, for your patience with me, and I apologize if YOU took my post the wrong way and I misinterpreted your humor. Everyone else, well, John Lennon said it best..."Whatever gets you through the night...".

Yeah, there MUST be a way to cross-level weapons and ammo from dead or injured to others in a squad or to another squad all together.

You know, I really must apologize to everyone in this thread. It was downright silly of me to expect that there would be even remotely serious discussion in a strategy and tactics forum. I really should have realized that no one could seriously post something like sergei did, because the possibility that someone could be so galactically stupid is ludicrous! I should have realized that many of you are a bunch of ignorant tossers virtually twiddling each others wedding tackle and giggling like giddy schoolgirls when someone with a clue stumbles into what should be at least a semi-serious discussion about how a modern wargame should be played and finds a gaggle of fag hags pissed-off because the latest pair of pumps you bought are killing your feet. My bad.

Though smoke grenades act basically as an irritant in humans, the newer grenades do not burn as hot or are as dangerous to humans, the environment, and especially armored vehicles. I can see a crew bailing out of a vehicle if a nade falls inside, just until the smoke clears, but major injuries and incapacitating vehicles is definitely a bug.

Downloaded the pre-order, no problems, runs fantastic on my 2yo AMD 64 3200+ machine with an NVIDIA 7600GT card. Don't have the graphics maxed, but I don't NEED to have the graphics maxed. I had one freeze, not a crash, the first time I tried to save while the game was running, but have had no issues since. I consider myself a "hardcore" wargamer mainly because I also design 2D wargames with some success. I despise turn-based games for personal enjoyment, but use them in my work all the time. The CM series never held any real sway over me, not only because of the turn-based paradigm, but the subject matter as well. I am personally sick and tired of WWII anything! Anyway, I like this game more and more every time I play it. I read about the pathfinding issues and such, but I've only seem a few instances of a vehicle or dismounts taking-off on their own. However, because I understand the issues with pathfinding in games AND high-end military sims, I guess I'm a bit more forgiving. Because so much of my work life is taken-up with playing with wargames and designing wargame stuff and talking wargames, I've been kind of burned-out on wargaming since I started working it 40 hours a week. CM:SF has rekindled my love of the modern wargame genre and has, to my wife's dismay, started occupying quite a bit of my free time. Is it a perfect game? Not at all...there's is no such thing. There are annoying bugs, just like any other piece of software ever written and released. But I, personally, have not experienced anything so terrible that I would call it unplayable. I downloaded the demo last night and brought it to work and installed it on my 4yo Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop with a 64MB NVIDIA card and 1yo drivers. Works great with the graphics settings turned low (but not the lowest!). I get some cursor lag, but it's manageable. Again, don't really care about graphics...the gameplay is the thing! I'm confident that the next patch will solve at least some of those pesky bugs that don't show-up until 1000 people start clicking on things in an order completely unimaginable in beta testing, and with 1000 different hardware/software configurations. Yeah,...I've been there! So, to all of the developers and testers of CM:SF, take heart...there really ARE a few of us out there who are understanding of all of your hard work and appreciate the difficulties of a small developer bringing such a detailed and involved title to market. Bravo, guys! You have a fan in this old wargamer! Curt

All I can say is that, to get something even close to that, the person had to have either a)done it entirely on purpose, or hasn't a clue on how to play the game or maneuver forces. Take your pick, because I have a feeling both may be true...

Dear BFC, I've been a very good boy this year. As of right now, I only have one "wish" for the arty/air system: PLEASE, disable "right-click" until I either confirm or cancel a mission or left-click on the "x" in the mission box to consciously exit the arty call before completion. I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally hit the RMB before finishing my arty call, and having to start all over again! Oh yeah, Mr. Claus, I think the "adjust fire" feature is broken, or at the very least there is no visual or audible cue that the mission has been adjusted. Thanks, and rest assured there will be milk and cookies waiting near the fireplace! Curt

Maybe I'm just used to sucky GUIs in huge military simulations, but I can live with the menu system as is. I like having the camera system tied to the RMB. You go, BFC!
