  1. Thanks for this post - didn't know they had done that ... Superb addition.
  2. Well - playing Hot Mustard at the moment - and plotting the moves for two full battalions at ground level or slightly above is just not feasible in the time I have. Plotting moves at higher zoom speeds things up when you already know what you want to do. Its not about turning it into a board game - its about making a slightly clunky interface into something more manageable in larger scenarios. Two full battalions broken down into split squad is a freaking load of units - and doing all those moves at level 1 or 2 is tortuous.
  3. Because its easier to plot long movements at higher zoom levels. I find the action spot fades into the back ground too mach at higher zoom levels to near invisibilty - especially when it comes to plotting a move agaisnt a wall or fence.
  4. Dont get that at all. Its just the action spot not asthetics at all. Its only visible when you are plotting a move and its just the highlight under the mouse cursor. I am not talking about all action spots - just the highlight that appears under the mouse when plotting a move. And as I say - they could make it an option - for people like you who strangely find the mouse cursor asthetic so offensive.
  5. Can BF make the Action spot highlighter much darker (or at least have an option for it) or make it more visible at higherr zoom levels. Both in CMBN and CMFI plotting long moves is made much more difficult because the higher you zoom out the more difficult it is to see exactly where you are plotting the action spot. I feel just this one simple change would remove a lot of the need for constant zooming in and out when plotting long multiple moves. What chance is there we can have this ?
  6. Well, I think I have seen this guy post over at matrix - in much the same way. I dont care if he has made a scenario - a dick is a dick.
  7. Cant look right now - but yes all turned to highest. I generally keep AA at about 8x on my graphics card and AF to 2 - I find too much AF to be off putting. Looks sweet with all the Mods...
  8. I dont get your performance issues. I dont have a cray - but I have never once experienced performance issues with this game either wego or real time.
  9. This kind of post mystifies me. Aside from the fact why he bothers in a forum for a game and company he doesnt like - the content is so far removed from reality it makes you wonder as to where the bile comes from.
  10. Yes I agree with this totally and do much the same. My point about Metacritic in relation to CM was that he was trying to suggest that a high metacritic review would lead to thousands of new players... which in my view is utter tosh. It may catch a very few waverers - but the large majority of people who buy CM are wargamers already and know of the games existence and reputation without need to refer to that site for their buying decision. I simply dont agree you can deall with CM as you would a Total War title and make it appeal to the same wider market that buys that game. The very reason I love this game is that it doesnt appeal to the majority of players like that who think Total War is the height of realism. Long may it be so .... My only concern with the game is that BF make enough money at it to keep producing stuff. I will buy everything without a second thought and there is no other game or company I do that with.
  11. LOL ... no need for that ... I have a young and very attractive wife for such things...
  12. Well no - it matters to YOU. And I doubt in a big way its a tool used by anyone likely to buy CM. And if you actually bothered to look there it has an average rating of 81 - so whats bad about that - and I am guessing it would be even higher if it werent for the two reviews posted by 1. Michael Dorosh 2. Wolverine 101 Know anything of those two and you will know how worthless their opinions of this game are. So - you are basing your statement on just 25 review scores - two of which are so far at the other end of the rest that they hoplessley skew the results. I would suggest that anyone who used that as a sensible guide to whether the game is any good has the intelligence of a labottomised monkey. CM is for me the only game that delivers to all my expectations - it is in a league of its own as far as what is says its going to do matching up with what it actually does. I still play SF regularly even five years after I bought it. The best thing is however - that the thing just keeps getting better.
  13. Its nothing to do with burying your head in the sand. Its whether what someone else thinks of something is the way you make your decisions - as much with films - I have seen a lot of garbage that others thought good and would have missed a lot of good if I took other peoples word for it is bad. The simple fact is - whatever YOUR complaints about CM - or any of the others on metacritic - it still represents - for me - by a long country mile the single most value in any game I have ever bought. It is the one game that delivers an experience like no other and keeps me coming back time after time. The point about other peoples opinion is that if I take the naysayers - I would have missed that - if I took the fanbois - I may have ended up with ****e - lucily I made my own mind up and hear I am.
  14. Jesus - you mean people actually take notice of meta critic ? To me its a useles piece of garbage with regard to any kind of sensible gauge of how good something is.
  15. Cant see any and all german infantry portraits - and yes did remove the z folder before install - something definitely screwy here.
  16. Well - that would really piss me off. Seriously battlefront. I am more than happy to preorder a physical copy. Just dont send it to me so I dont have to pay for the game again with the 30 bucks postage to europe. I still dont get it. I have heard your explanation for it and I still dont get it.
  17. So is this the point I can rant about there being no f*&^%* download only pre order and having to watch a bunch of people play the game before the rest of us ?
  18. Yeah - they are not there. Boats are the one thing I would take before everything else. Even fire.
  19. Well I use move a lot also. Hunt is for when you are expecting contact as it is considerably more tiring. Move is useful for long moves out of contact as it has no effect on fatigue.
  20. Well thats the point ... some here seem to be drawing an awful lot of conclusions about something which may just be a bug.
  21. Mmmm ... wasnt this an issue that cropped up in normandy a while back ?
  22. God, I still havent played half the stuff that was in CMBN - let alone the 3 other games ...
  23. Well, then dont friggin buy it ... jezus the want something for nothing brigade have arrived before the things even half done.
