Killroy, alright, you win.
I did have to remove your commercial link however since there are links to purchase said game on that page
Ok that's kewl can we please have a picture of Steve eating those pages though please?
)I've just reinforced what everybody already knows about us... we don't care for customers who don't care about us. Or reality. We did not go through all that we've gone through to be treated like crap. The fact is I have a lot more reasons to be disappointed with your behavior than you do with mine.I'm afraid it is you who has no concept of reality. Do you have any idea how you are making yourself look here? You've come out and said "this stupid game company stuff". You called your own company STUPID! You called yourself STUPID! You're the company or do you not realize the reality of that? lol
Oh and if you don't want me to BUY your products anymore. That's fine by me. Doesn't mean I won't get to play them now does it. ;p If you think that $5 out of me is so important moreso that your company image and the image of yourself you just put out there I surely am not going to care. You obviously have proven you don't.
This is going to be heard around the globe about how you don't care about your company or yourself or your customers when they dont' agree with you. Why don't you just say "F**K You" to them eh?

The contract is not in question or relevant to this issue. It is the SUPPORT issue and the PATCHING of a game over 6-8 years old. So don't try to change the subject or push some legalities form into the issue. Steel Panthers a game well over 6-8 years old was/is supported regardless of contract, copyrights or other issues related to it.
[commercial link removed]
Released in 2000 and still active and being supported. 8.40 patch volume I believe. Which also supports Steel Panthers independently.

Wow folks now he even lies. He said and I quote
which companies do you know provide patches of any kind for 6-8 year old software? If you can even name one, I'd be surprised. And if it is a game company I'll print out this thread and eat it.I provided him with three and only had to provide ONE and Steel Panthers and HPS were the easy ones to prove still get support after 6-8 years.
Notice how he gaffed over HPS and their SUPPORT and PATCHING for their over 6-8 year old games? Using the same engine wasn't the issue or part of your earlier statement. You said ANY game company supporting 6-8 year old games period.
Face it Steve you have lost this match. But, it's your games your decisions. I think this one will come up and bite you in the arse though. Especially after what you've just proven about yourself and what you think about your company.

I agree!!! A game company offering support for a 6 and 8 year old game products is absolutely ridiculous and unheard of in my 30 years of computing gaming experience. Thanks for pointing that out.
Glad you agree cause PARADOX does it for ALL their games! Better start printing out the page and eating it.
Or better still, which companies do you know provide patches of any kind for 6-8 year old software? If you can even name one, I'd be surprised. And if it is a game company I'll print out this thread and eat it.Also Matrixgames has done it for an even older game "Steel Panthers", so that's two pieces of paper you can start eating.
HPS has recently started updating ALL their games to no longer require the CD in the drive to run. http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=52230&pid=299383pid299383
Let alone updating old games like "Strike Eagle"
Time for you to start eating 3 pages now.

Best thing to do is just give the new patch for free as it should have been to begin with and that solves all the problems. I can't believe people are actually paying for a patch that's the most rediculous thing I've ever seen in my near 30 years of computer gaming. You guys need to quit lying down for crap like this. The patch should be FREE!

I love watching nuclear explosions all across the world map, but, it doesn't make for a great gaming experience or strategy or tactics. Just press a button and go.

Who said CMSF is awful? Sorry for sounding like a thick head but its more than a matter of taste here and its not only a WW2/modern debate but a deeper one. CMSF more or less was a testing/training ground for the upcoming big thing which isnt other than the family of WW2 games. It was and still is a WIP. CM WW2 would be a WIP too but with a smoother curve from what I can tell.
I'm happy too, playing the game but funnily I'm more happy installing each new patch. For instance I waited for 1+ year to get a working TCP/IP function. I dont see how this would stand on even ground with the Normandy title which I expect to be an excellent game out of the box and superior in EVERY SINGLE aspect of gameplay.
Here is a shortlist of features promised for CMN that WONT make it in CMSF :
-Authentic and fully researched historical setting.
-Rather balanced oppositions and hardware.
-Complete new QB system with cherry pickin and other goodies. Now we get some funny combos of TOW-2 vs hordes of conscript AKs and the march of the light UAZ brigade.
-Both sides will receive the same care when desinging missions.
-Possible stock campaing from the "bad guy" perspective.
-Improved inf AI, animations etc.
-AT guns
-Ground AAA
-On map Mortars
-Hit texts
-kill stats
-Slower pace+less lethal weaponry = more unpredictability
-Random weapon allocation among squads
-More varried terrain
-More variety in buidlings
-More vareid weather
-Dynamic Water
-Bridges
-Complete overhaul of the vegetation graphics. No more disappearing trees once shooting starts or when drawing vehicle paths.
-Improved FX graphics.
-Unlimited potential of expanding the series covering the whole WW2 period.
-Pausing for online games (at last)
-Possibility to find more than one buddy online at the same time to play a TCP/Ip session.
-Possibilty of ladders and tournaments and all this stuff that is missing from CMSF and makes playing against the AI feel like watching paint dry.
And the list might well get much bigger once the game is released. I dont see how someone who thinks this would be a better product belongs to the WW2 vs Modern type of camp. I was one of the most enthusiastic regarding the shift towards modern. Middle east and all this cool russian (firstly) and then US hardware ought to be presented in a wargame. But now its time to go back to traditional values :-)
Wow that looks great. I can hardly wait for CM:N as I didn't care for CM:SF either. Just can't get into hypothetical modern day warfare as there might be one land battle skirmish before we blew Syria off the map and then it would just become another police action like iraq.
-
It's just not a popular game. Most of the grogs here are turn based or wego players. They sort of turn their noses up to real time rts childish clickfest games.
-
No MP skirmish mode in TOW2? Wow that's a total rip off and a big missing selling feature of the game. No skirmish mode no sale.
-
Usually games aren't made to support some super duper nobody owns but one person in the entire world system setup. Be happy it supports 1920x1200.
-
I'd like to see a new forum for the Normandy game! Sort of tired of this gibberish of SF since it's old now.
-
Didn't work for me still got the cascading graphics and even with aa off now it's very slow and choppy.
-
I dont actually think its about a worthy foe but about the pace of the game. Blue vs Blue would be a perfectly balanced match but I find no joy in it due to the automation and lethality of modern weapons. Its just isnt fun to isntantly kill a tank from 2k with your 120mm robot gun. An Abrams might be a great sight at first but it gets boring after a while. 25mm auto cannons pin and then can vaporize a whole squad in a matter of seconds. Its too black and white for my tastes and pales in comparison with the unpredictability of WW2 combat where you can watch lenghty and gripping tank duels and try really hard to manuever your squads and flank enemy positions. A well positioned MG42 will provide you with a tough tactical problem while now a HMG is just another ready to die target under a rain of rifle grenades, smaw, javelins, and other laser accurate long range weaponry.
Its simply has less depth, like a hollywood block buster compared to a good old film. Its not Battlefront's fault of course. Once we move to Normandy the game will prove its great value and depth.
I agree with you whole heartedly. To me modern warfare is like shooting someone in the back. Too chickenchit to face their opponent eye to eye face to face. Modern warfare has made cowards out of countries. Ahhhh the best days of warfare are gone. Ancient warfare was the greatest and made heroes out of soldiers instead of cowards.

XP doesn't use DirectX 10 either. I play on XP as well. I now run two computers side by side one for Xp and one for Vista 64. I'm too lazy to make a boot disc for one computer. It's all about Vista and DirectX 10 these days. I can't play Colonization95 on Vista either. Vista doesn't seem to like any dos games or Win95/98 ones.
Maybe problem is about the video card.Yup if you had read my first post you would have read it's an Nvidia issue and a Battlefront issue and neither are going to fix it.

This just in:
Its so funny how people take everything so seriously. Why can't a developer say what he thinks about a game he paid for?I've seen plenty of developers dissing aspects of my games at various places, (including some here even), but I don't really care, nor do I argue with them. If they bought the game they got every right to say what they think.
/Johan
What you guys think about this? Hey Steve you better put your 2 cents in.
-
It is a bug that neither Battlefront nor Nvidia are going to fix. If you want to play it on Vista you are going to have to get an ATI card. Which it has its problems with other games and is a suckier card overall with DX issues.

Save yourself a lot of money and buy it at Amazon.com I got mine for $4 when it was still in beta (though they sold it as retail). Hurry before the price goes up.

I'm happy to see a new Quick Battle feature is going to be in the next module(s). Just doesn't feel like combat mission without it.
You are correct there I never play scenarios either. I have all 3 of the CMX1 series and I've only ever played the quick battles with random setups.I hate scenarios. I hated them with CMx1, and I hate them with CMx2. Too often I found I was having to execute the designers plan, rather than construct my own. And I'm not alone in that.[ April 21, 2008, 03:51 PM: Message edited by: Killroy ]
