Sure does.

I thought we all established a while ago in a long and convoluted thread where I got called a mad man, a dreamer, and a herald of the apocalypse of wargaming in favour of child like "strategy games", that AI upgrades were either A: impossible, straight from the pages of blade runner, and not even invented yet, or a more likely B: not affordable for battlefront.

Unconventional combatants and militias are going to be here for a long time to come.

Like a phoenix from the flames glorious Armata thread arises once more!

Dont say that mate.
 
People dont like change around here.
 
"Ohhh I dont like change, it makes me nervous and I like to do things the way they've been done for years. Theres nothing wrong with how it is now"...

Aye you spend 80% of the time at full zoom monitoring your forces, only going in when contact is made or  you need to test and adjust your approach.

Yeah the superiority of the French and the way deck system complemented any of their builds really hacked me off in Red Dragon, it was bad in ALB, but RD really took the effing biscuit.
Still it was a good game though, got hella playtime out of the series. It had much better MP functionality and capability than CM ever will.

Sure does.

The fanboy levels on this forum are through the roof.
I mean, I like ARMA 3, I worked for BI for a while, but I can still say some parts of it are a POS and are a downgrade from ARMA 2.

I don't care about graphics.
I don't care about FPS.
I don't care about visual air support.
I do care about correctly modelled equipment capabilities... *cough M2" engine" armour, blind-Russians*
 
But 4.0, please please please please, let us have a lobby we can go to to find MP games.

This is what? The fourth time a thread about change has cropped up in 6 months? Maybe they are popping up for a reason.

Over the engine intake? Really? Must be that VERY invisible ceramic composite armour.
 
Methinks the Bradley hit boxes need to be adjusted or altered.

You have never heard of a VPN before?

Oh wow, did not know you are that old school...iam sorry...
And no, Germany will not invade Russia again, i will stay here and tell you about stuff you refuse to hear.
CM has big flaws, face it and and stop acting like a hardcore fanboy so we can have a constructive discussion.

 
Sorry, if you dont see how infantry formation (correctly implemented) could enhance the CM gameplay then you clearly have a problem with your imagination.

No, it would just show that Steve refused to sell a great game or feared that it would outshine their own CM series someday.

@ Kieme(ITA)

Sorry, i like you and your Mods but what you wrote about the FPS thing is trash. Lacroix is 100% correct !
If your PC is 3 or 4 times as powerful as the "Suggested" requirements and you still only get stuttering 25 FPS (with drops below 15 FPS) on big Maps then something is wrong.
If you can start ArmA3, load the biggest possible island and drink a coffee in the time it takes CM to load a medium-big scenario then something is wrong !
This game, lets face it, is just very poorly optimized, thats all !
Why are you defending BFC about that ? I cant understand it...

Its also hard when every critic is met with terms like "overblown", "irrational" or "ridiculous exaggeration"...

He is right though, ha.

He is right though, ha.

After everything in development at the moment is done and all projects on the boil are finished, they should pause for 6 months, then start working on updating the engine. My first port of call would be to get out amongst the community that pay the wages of its staff and see what they want. The coding of a proper AI, and the integration of multiplayer features that are not from the days of PC Format and floppy disks stuck to the front of magazines should be a first. The graphics are passable at the moment. Their problem is they cant seem to utilise todays hardware to its fullest extent, having high fidelity models and textures because they seem to be able to only use a fraction of a pc's computing power. This should be addressed.
I would consider crowdfunding a game, or going to steam for development help - then buying a new engine off the shelf and taking it from there.

Mores the pity eh!
How does it manage to hit stuff when the optics are disabled. The option to target is greyed out, and I thought that optics included all optics including backup gun sights. My guess is that because the AI use a different algorithm and constantly have a circular target around them, so it probable ignores this.
 
It is a legacy problem that goes back further than CMBN Vanir, in CMSF it happened once with an M1 that PurpHeart had which I hit with air fires a hundred times. I only found out until the end that it had its subsystems knocked out because it was still there and manned at end game.
