nice to hear... will check it in the evening...

Hi martin, i have understood! If i will do so, i will ask you before.

Gliders with bombs? No, i think not but loaded with men for instance. But you have also bombers in game. and also some naval units: I have a few videos for you to demonstrate the power of the GEM2 engine: And please remember this video is from the old "FoW" but in "Men of War" the graphic is 3 times better, and here a channel with some very interested vids from "Men of War" for you: Please give them a try...

Please do not bashing the game according to that engagement distances seen on the pictures. This pictures are for pointing out the nice graphic. There are a couple of mods in the production to mod the ranges of engagement. Believe me, the physic in game is the best ever seen on a game. Penetration and damage calculation based on armour thickness and angel of ever armour-plate on the tanks. And also great visual damage presentation.

A new game is coming out in summer 2008. It´s called "Men of War". Take a look at this: If you want to join the free open beta multiplayer test please sign in and post your computer details in this forum: Men of War is the follow up of the highly successful Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, developed by Best Way . The unique gameplay and design made the predecessor standing out from the RTS genre and found very soon a large fanbase, which is still active due to the impressive mod support. Men of War starts were Soldiers ended, it delivers improved physics which allows you to destroy whole maps on a level of detail you never saw before, the newly developed armor penetration physics calculate the impact angle of every single projectile in accordance to the historic armor value of each vehicle. Every tank has the sound of its original, dropping you in a fully cinematic and authentic sound experience, which hardly can be described. As this wouldn’t be enough, you will enjoy a really useful and unique feature: Direct control! Take over the control of every single soldier you have, or drive tanks and other vehicles, set up ambushes with antitank guns and blow your enemies up with precise and deadly aimed shots at their weak spots! Feel the adrenaline when an enemy Tiger crosses the roads, or feel the enemies fear when he hears the sound of a deadly German Panther tank, which is driven by you!

Question about modding and using content from TOW and other games like CM,Soldiers,Panzer Elite etc.. How about using content from TOW (like camouflage textures or sound data´s) in other modifications for Combat Mission or other games? Is that a Problem? Or do i must have your permission or some think like this? And can you give me such a permission? Or in the other way, if i use a texture from a other game in TOW? Must i have a permission from the makers of the other game? I notice that there are plenty of modification for all 3 part of CM with content from other games or other films. What is the best way to become NO Problems? I mean , we speaking about mod´s without any financial motives.

Please dont forget to implement new gamemodes for mp matches. The currently existing mode "deathmatch" is not well placed in a WW2 game. Thank you...

Thank you for this nice little statement. It´s better then nothing. New maps for multiplayer would be very cool and the searching tool for opened multiplayer games is also nice to hear. But, please don´t forget the game modes. This is very important. Nobody need a death match game in a WW2 genre. Team deathmatch between german and allies are ok , or a mode there you must capping a zone, or a assault and defence mode, or other multiplayer missions with a target.

Any news for us? Have you been done the final decisions about a real working and playable multiplayer?

What's the score on modding multiplayer maps? Maybe adding some of this nice vehicles from this modding forum. Maybe adding more start stuff, like more tanks and infantry. Or adding more stuff on a multiplayer map after a short period of time. regards

Take a look on this website: http://www2.gameware.at/info/space/News Where is my TOW box? My money is on your account since 26.03.2007! And where is my multiplayer part?

Hamburg, Germany no hardcopy of TOW...

Bump +2

same here in hamburg. nothing...

This is a nice statement, it predicates nothing. Some plans here, some decisions there... I have paid 50 USD and i will not accept that this game is without playable multiplayer part. All my mission and campaign´s are played on veteran skill, and now? Nothing left...

Will the multiplayer part overworked or not? I mean not technical errors/bug. I mean: 1.) more maps 2.) more gamemodi /king of the hill/capute the flag/assault and defence/battle zones/ etc. 3.) buy menü before a multiplayer session starts / somthing like in the singelplayer part 4.) skills of tank crews in multiplayer must be totaly raised 5.) a game lobby in game or html based (ip stock exchange)/ maybe gamespy function please dont let the game die in the multiplayer part...

How is it that the boxed copy still not yet at home. I am living in Hamburg, germany.

I have written in a other thread this: The MP part of TOW must be tweaked as soon as possible after patching the SP part. There are a 7 mainly problems that need to be fixed very urgend: 1.)The netcode must be improved. 2.)Implement a game lobby or a ip stock exchange at BF website to find mp games. 3.)Possibility to change the stuff, troops and tanks before starting the MP game for every player / map. Same as in singelplayer! 4.)Implement multiplayer modes like capture the flag, frontline, assault, king of the hill or other nice modes. But the most important multiplayer mode is capture the flag also known as battlezones. 5.)More MP maps 6.)Possibility to make / change MP maps with the editor 7.)Self loading feature for all clients if a MP game is hosted

This is definetly your best decision BF. This Map editor is the best way to keep this game alive over years with content from the community. After this addon you must only fix the MP part of the game. Dont forget the online players, please.

StG44 is correct military abbreviation for "Sturmgewehr 44". Colloquial known as MP44 "Maschinenpistole 44" or "Maschinenkarabiner 44" But "sig44" is not a used designation.

I dont see any ways to read and rebuilt a sfs.file game archive without the right decryption plugin/tool.

I have a little question about the "hold position" modus for a tank. If you give a tank the order "hold position", the tank will stay at this point and dont move. This is correct, however a enemy attack this tank(with "hold position" button on)the crew turns the hull toward to the enemy. For Tiger1 deadly, for tank hunter like StuG/Hetzer/JgdPzIV is that ok. I would suggest that a "hold postion" order for a tank with turret stands for "DONT TURN THE HULL ALSO".

@SIO Many thank for you fast an precise answer. That is very nice, now you must only fix that "hold position" button in associating with "dont turn hull". And then we can play the Tiger1 as in reality.

Does the engine also calculate horizontal amor angles, or only vertical amor slopes/angles? For example, a tiger 1 tank have turned the hull 25-35 degree towards to the enemy in "Mahlzeit" position. Is this also be calculeted?
