  1. Yeah, Dropteam was a lot of fun while it lasted. Nice to see some of you are still on the Battlefront horizon though. I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty excited about CM's return to the WWII theatre. If you are like me you have been waiting for this for years. I just pray my 2 year old computer is going to be sufficient to run the game. Anyway, my point is this: when the time comes, if anyone else is interested, I think it would be fun to use this forum to organize CM 2 Normandy games. Obviously there will be dozens of such threads in the regular CM 2 forum, but it might also be fun to rekindle some old friendships/rivalries too.

  2. I buy games from Battlefront (or 1C) because i prefer the direction they take, realistic features, alot of replayability, WWII settings and so on. If you think about it, that's why you all come here too, for the games.

    So take it on the chin, learn your lesson and by all means keep giving your opinions on the matter - Just don't crucify the company for one issue, or maybe in the future we won't even have a manual to complain about, pdf or physical. Alot of other developers have already given up on even releasing a manual.

    Fair enough. I am happy to support any company that is still attempting to make realistic war games. That's why Battlefront and 1C will always be on my radar, but I will stick to digital downloads from here on.

  3. Hey guys. I've been too busy myself for much online gameplay lately. The two years or so that the Sunday afternoon battle was going on provided some great times with good friends, but time marches on. Anyway, I too will be waiting for the day DT2 drops and look forward to seeing you guys on the battlefield once again...someday.

  4. Junglist' date=' can we congratulate on the production of a new space cadet yet? :)[/quote']

    Yes indeed you can jby; Erin Williams is now almost three weeks old.

    Oh yeah, BTW 152, this is the first child for me. I guess I said something in the past that might have made you think I had kids, but that is not the case. Anyway, hope to see you guys today, but as I said, it isn't really up to me anymore whether or not I make it.

  5. Hey 152, nice computer! How do I know? I got the same rig this summer, but with an additional 2 gig of ram for good measure. I've got the HD partitioned to boot both Leopard and Windows xp; it's kinda of funny switching between the super intuitive Mac OS and the super clunky MS approach. At least this way I'll still retain some necessary problem solving skills and ward off the brain malaise which effects most I-tards (that is people who use apple exclusively for those unfamiliar with I-tardation).

  6. Almost forgot, who were you playing with on that round where you snarfed EWVs? Jung? I'm waiting for a good story.

    I'm pretty sure Kim is referring to me.

    I'm also pretty sure I have a fairly good idea of how to bot wrangle a team to victory.

    Once again, I'm pretty sure, after having Kim lose it on me for messing with his hermes, that I promised to never touch his hermes during a game again...at least while on the same team.

    Finally, I'm pretty sure that I was fairly drunk during the game in question, so I guess I can't be sure about that much after all.

  7. Overhead has been around on and off for quite awhile...but he has never been very talkative.

    Phonan, I'll be quite busy this weekend so I'm not sure I can set a time yet. Do you have Monday off? If so I could go early sometime Monday perhaps. What do yo think?

  8. The only thing I'm certain of is that I beat Jung at Dead Gulch with a good series of turret drops, and I sent a parting gift to him just before I left his set-up at Forsaken, as I sent down fire, brimstone, and smoke on his base.

    Now, I must say I'm a little confused by this comment. First off I don't remember ever playing anyone by the name of ok0510 anytime recently. Perhaps you play under a different name? Also, from what I remember (and there is a chance I'm wrong), I haven't lost any 1 on 1 games, where both players were involved from the deployment stage on, in quite a long time. I might be wrong but I think the last time I actually lost a 2 player game was on the Forsaken map a while back, where I was attacking and 152 was defending.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: Yurch and Nexus, from the olden times, were the only players who downright scared me, and jby is the only current player I need to be soberish to beat. If anyone wants to see if they can get their bots in line and prove me a liar, I'll attempt to be online for a while today in the afternoon or the evening, feel free to check the server and drop in.

    Of course this is all about objective/territory type maps. Capture the flag is, well, capture the flag.

  9. So jby, you will be glad to know that Redcon and I met up earlier this week and decided to finish the final round of the tournament!

    The first map was Haven where I was on the attack. Result: clear victory for me, with complete domination of the mountain achieved with over ten minutes left in the game.

    The second map was the Dam (an admittedly more difficult map to attack, with its two native aa towers). Result: I weathered Redcon's Ion battery long enough to hold onto the objective and again achieve victory; to quote Redcon with about a minute left, "I yield".

    So I believe the victor of this tournament was promised some sort of prize, correct? Here's a little hint if you are wondering what to get me: my Liveship is starting to get a little dinged up and rusty.

  10. So it's voodoo for them this time, eh? No more summary executions on your Live-Ship jby?

    House to house was a great battle - it was a handful trying to keep track of both of you guys on that map.

    Sorry 152, I couldn't resist.....I actually really like that quote from B.H. Liddell Hart

  11. About number of 'run-ins' between players: 152 you are too young to remember dark_au - I think he caused the most forum action ever. :) (yes, I'm going back into my crypt, no need to push).

    Poesel, you should know better than to utter that name again! The day he stopped posting and told us all to frak-off, once and for all, was one of the happiest days for this forum. Let's not speak of him again, lest he senses your utterance and turns his magnified powers of annoyance in our direction again.
