Considering they originally planned to have it out around Xmas time means I am having major withdrawals. I have purchased CMSF with both the marines and british forces modules, but I have to say that I have grown a little tired of the hand of god like weapons. Please dont get me wrong, I think Battlefront are AMAZING!!! (yes I really did need capitals to emphasize that). These guys are making the sort of games I could only dream about growing up. Basically, the shift back to Normandy and WW2 cannot come quick enough for me. Here is to many a long hour spent handing the Allies a can of whoop-ass on in the Normandy countryside.

I second that call.

Im thinkin' we aint gonna see this baby til April at least... Keep up the great work BF. And a Merry Christmas to you and all your families.

Wooohooooo!!! BONE IT....... I mean, thanks....

That would make it akin to sandpaper would it not? Either way, its less than 48 hours for a Turkey and Bone Bonanza...!!!

Just a reminder - 2 days before Bone time... woooohoooo!!!!

I have CM:SF + Marines + British Forces modules... It would have been good to have the Aussie SAS in with maybe the UK forces considering they are the best modern day troops around (Yes I am biased)... We are still technically part of the commonwealth (unfortunately) but definitely not large enough to warrant our own module, so maybe we could come in with UN forces...???

Sooooo, can we still expect CM:N out by April....?

Try wearing a Hugo Boss suit in the middle of a Russian winter and see how long you last...

The Soviets killed far more in their time, no-one is innocent in war! Having said that, I wont be drawn into a politcal discussion with you...

I couldnt agree more... Their lethality should be more true to life than is currently depicted in CM:SF. The necessity for taking out MG nests should be as important in CM:N as taking out RPG and other AT units is in CM:SF. Having a halftrack with a mounted MG42 being able to hold off a company of soldiers down a street, it will give rise to alot more flanking attacks etc... Given that the effective range of an MG42 is around 1000m, geeez its gonna get messy...

Yeah, it came about after Hugo wore one of his suits whilst doing one of his favourite recreational activities - PAINTBALL...

Its just a shame that there are weak minded people that shout Nazi at anyone interested in the German forces and Waffen SS. Glad to see you rise above all that. The Dot44 Tunic + trousers set me back $295.00 USD. Very reasonable, considering I have spent $3500+ on a complete Waffen SS - Normandy Impression. I have bought alot of the stuff I have from 'At the Front' a Kentucky based company that is very highly regarded amongst the reenacting community (they sell original + reproduction items) uniforms are all reproduction, but very accurate - and no I dont reenact, just a collector. Here is one of there comparisons with the real thing, they make amazing stuff right down to the minute detail.

Thats not very nice! Just a collector of WW2 Militaria etc... But if I had said I had a wehrmacht uniform it would have been a different reaction! I have been to Berlin many times, and no I havent dressed up for it! You wouldnt happen to know Terry Brewer or Preston would you? :cool: And no I wouldnt be caught dead in 'Little Ankara' Kreuzberg in any SS regalia.

Doppel! Doh!

What with the high lethality of the modern setting, what is the likelihood of a successfull Gurka knife fight?

Just got my DOT 44 Uniform in the mail the other day - So I can scrutinise the crap outta the Waffen SS boys come module 1's release

Hmmm! there goes my holiday plans with CM:N At least appease the masses with a CM:N forum and Bones along the way.

Yeah, bring forth the bones.........

*EDITED* solved the problem :-D

Given that the CM Normandy game was initially due out around Christmas time (now Jan - Feb) I would have assumed that things are hotting up and that progress bones will be thrown our way more regularly leading up to Xmas....? Patience is my middle name after all.

I will try this, thanks. If anything it should have scalability of min. to max. so that those of us with higher end machines can get the best out of the graphics. I dont know about others, but I tend to spend the vast majority zoomed out to get the overall picture - only zooming to get a better view of hot spots and line of sight etc... This rarely gets the best out of the detail that Battlefront have put into the game which is a shame - hence why I started this topic! Having at least 1 - 2km+ draw distances would greatly enhance immersion also. The whole concept of scalability means that those with lower spec PC's are not left out of the equation.

We dont have Halloween in Australia. Besides the way the weather is going at the moment - the kids would have all their confectionary melted into one giant mega-lolly.

Is there an option to increase draw / depth of field distances in the game so that trees will render from a greater distance? If so where? I remember asking about foliage etc. for the Normandy game and Steve said that it was beng improved upon. Will this include having a greater depth of field (rendered)? Or is this hard-coded to allow smooth gameplay? I realise we cant have everything, but greater viewing distances with foliage etc. showing up as it should would add alot to immersion. Its almost November, hope we can have a decent bone thrown our way between now and Christmas

Must have missed that one! I hope they put this high on the list of things to include for the WW2 games. To have linked battles with accumilative damage is very high on the immersion factor... Then again - to have the battle move to a completely new map immediately adjacent the previous battle map could also suffice (then what I just said is worked around).
