Amen to that

So what - your point was that they will make 3/4 of a million dollars from this - otherwise - what was your point. In case you hadnt noticed they do this as a living and therefore to make money - is that what you are objecting to ?

So you think BF sell 75,000 of this ... ? Or did you just completely make that up as a pretty number ? And what - in any event, business is it of yours how much they make from the game.

Well its an interesting point ... dont charge extra for it and there are some who will complain that they had to pay for it... but if you charge for it just to play the MG module is that going to put people off buying the new module and effect the new revenue stream that represents ? Personally I would have paid to have it early in any case but I believe the model does present difficulties in a case like that. I suspect BF are confident enough that price - for most of their customers is not an issue, we just want the product. Least ways there seems some confusion about it so it would seem wise that BF clarify the thing.

Well - I am sure that was not the intent - primarily because it makes absolutely no sense business wise to do it that way at all.

Well - I am a programmer by trade - and if I had a dollar for every user that had said that kind of thing to me I would not need to work anymore. Retro fitting stuff into an existing code base is probably the most difficult task there is in programming so your argument is completely flawed and breathtaking in its niavety

Well dont see that - the game looks much better under 2.0 and performance is much improved.

Because CMBN is a different game. Its not CMFI and it took work to implement those changes into CMBN. Why is that so difficult to understand ? Why are you expecting something for nothing ? I bought Sins of a solar empire rebellion even though I had the original - it is exactly the same priciple. the other option is that we dont pay for the upgrade and BF dont make it. They are two developers and to ignore the economics of that is ridiculous. Personally I am glad they upgraded the game and am more than willing to pay the paltry sum (a couple of beers) that they asked for it. Jeez - given the game they have given us and continue to do so I dont get the mealie mouthed critisicm of this. Dollar for Dollar there is not a game out there that I get more play value out of.

Mmm. sorry - maybe they are on closer look - they just seem to be much less noticeable now for some reason ...

these no longer appear to be working ? Anyone else - or does v 2.0 now have the same structure as CMFI - ie a mods folder ? If so I cant see it ....

Thats good thinking - Tanks a Lot buildings are truly a work of art that enhance the game no end.

Well - what they should do is announce a special $1000 dollar preorder bundle. then they can hire a few more programmers and get it all done much quicker. there isnt another game I would say it for but I would cough for that so I dont die before I see it all.

Amen to that Amen - CMSF is still - even after all this time the pinnacle of modern tactical combat. I will personally buy any and all product these guys put out as far as CM goes. To me these games are light years ahead of anything else we have - as far as I am concerned given the quality - at the moment BF are operating in a market without any serious competition. I hope I am still scanning their website everyday in 20 years time.

Well - that also depends on what BF class as operation bagration. I guess if they mean just the tactical breakthrough phase of the offensive then you have some stugs and one panzer division - but bagration had two further distinct phases which should cover every major weapon system the germans and soviets had so I dont see there being a problem.

See the above reply from battlefront - and I mailed a support request direct.

Which is fine - and I wish it well. Just with BF being so adamant only they sell their product - its surprising to see this and difficult to take it on face value.

Well - from the horses mouth - it is genuine battlefront product - so I would go snap it up as that is some deal.

Well thats what I thought. Be nice if we got something official. If there is a key for the game it must have to go through BFs DRM so it must be approved by them so unless they have sold hundreds of keys to this guy at a huge mark down I cant see this being legit. For people that wont even put their game on steam this just makes no sense.

OK - be interested to know. Just seems odd BF would go for some unkown guy to sell their stuff - I beleive they are adamant about it only being available direct from BF.

https://deals.cultofmac.com/sales/the-mac-gamer-bundle-featuring-call-of-duty-4 The above sounds like a con...do you know anything about it BF ?

Seriously - what is your problem. This is a reputable site. The big red button with "Download " on it may be a clue ? http://www.gamershell.com/download_95037.shtml Aside from that there are a couple of obvious ads ? The Norton issue is just that. A norton issue. Do you expect BF to write a virus checker as well. The norton issue has uninstalled every exe since CMSF - so its hardly new and easily rectifiable.

Yes - Combat Mission : Ukraine and Combat Mission : Bagration are due for release next week. You can get them in a bundle with the new Market Garden module and Bulge game. OH F+++ time to wake up ...

The promo files are separate to the installer - really - its just a text file and a lnk file but they are in the zip file so the info about the zip will be of no use to you. Do you think bandwidth is free ? Why are there so many prima donnas here ?

Well, I went to gamershall. Clicked on the link for the patch - it said my download was ready and then I clicked that and downloaded it and it was done it about 4 minutes. No issue at all. Really - why exagerrate ?

Well - I would consider that for me personally - that for all that content - it would be "worth" considerably more than 500 in terms of what I get from it. So its an investment thats more than worth it. Jezus - when I think of some of the crap I have spent more than that on .... Bitching about the price BF charges has got to be the most pointless thing I see on these boards. If you dont want it - then dont pay it. Simple. Let us decide we do and let battlefront charge whatever it is that keeps them in business.
