The real Out of Eight review (text)
pazuzusmiles replied to sfhand's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
"....the inability to use the mouse wheel to zoom towards the cursor position really needs to be fixed...." The reviewer states.. I challenge that this is an operater error on his part...hes talkingabout the cursor for camera angles and clicking on diff. targets.... the software allows players several ways to achieve the same zoom effect for whatever ur grognardian delights may desire ect ect...and a lot of the other issues are the usual birthing pains of new product but nothing that distracts from the gameplay...My GOD! If anythin the AI is even more intelligent than ever..(Dave? what are you doing Dave?")...which I might add there are already hotfix's available on the website .......a lot of people will be hard pressed to find a more hands on team of developers that stay in regular touch with their fanbase...clearly this kid that reviewed this is a newbie.......in essence what im really trying to say is: 'f*** 8 out of 8.' ...Ive been playing CMFI for days now..need to shave....say hello to neighbors...get some sun..eat...things like that......You've done it again guys!!! thanks battlefront!!! hahaha -

pazuzusmiles replied to sfhand's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Personally speaking I use trackball exclusively...it is really immersive tool for the combat mission series as you are able to casually up, down & roll aross screen without much mouse management/wrist movement at all and zooming can be tweaked in the customizable slots of the trackball....I first discovered it from an old school flight simmer who refused to fly IL2 without it....I called him a real snob.....well I dare say now I too am I snob and will not play combat mission without a trackball -
5 CM Pak 38 AT Gun ammo question
pazuzusmiles replied to Lt Belenko's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
yeah Ive read up on it before....it does pack a punch..but to be real accurate u had to be closer to target than I would prefer hahahaha -
wow!!! thanx guys....I feel foolish I overlooked it but at the rate I play (sometimes I agonize for half a day on one move) I dont see the debrief screens all that often.... this adds even more depth to an already intense expierence....See you in the thunderdome!

Its in The CMBN now? I own it..ur...umm...wow in front of all the pro's on this forum I hesitate to ask but where do I find this option/display on CMBN? I've been immersed in one long campaign and really havent been out too much .. so to speak...

Hey does anyone know whether players of Combat Mission:FI will have the ability to check individual units kill histories like in Combat Mission Overlord and Barbarossa??
-
I agree WriterJWA...theres a kind of an electric charge of anticipation building up in the air.......

well I'm a johny-come-lately to the conversation but just let me say I've been a fan and prowler of your website and its forums for years now...The bottom line is you guys make a superior tactical game system and more than any other software developers, gaming outfits battlefront stays in the conversation with its very fan base....i've had poor staff members write me 3 to 5 emails slowly explaining and re-explaining how to update passwords...God bless em, they were always patient and proffessional..plus the staffs interaction with those of us who play with these toys is exeptional...(Look how the Total war outfit ailenated their fanbase)..the repository is the equivilant to a kids toybox and the gaming community around these series of games, whatever your poison be, is very open and accessible..I don't mind paying the extra money ...It pays for itself in years of replayability...years!! And I want these guys to be lucrative..I want them to profit and so does everybody else who really loves this series of games because I want them to have the tools that they need to comfortably keep evolving what has been so far the best tactical war game ever designed...yes I vote to pay the extra..I'm in this for the long jhaul baby...seems like a lotta folks on here can't really see past the eventual EF modules but i'm holding out for Combat Mission:KOREA Or Combat Mission: VIETNAM hahaha....keep it up guys...this isnt some profit churning playstation game...this is elogance...intelligence...this is a real war game....not a toy.....My wallets out...you guys make some coffee and keep teh conversation, as always, open......

Playing CMBN is good for you.
pazuzusmiles replied to Tashtego's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
...yes I agree....you spend hours in these games and you start getting attached to ur pixeltruppins...just like characters in books and the battles themselves are the actual stories rolling out...and each battle has its own unique landscape...yes I even find myself reading books pertaining to the era/ect in which I am playing....interactive historical fiction...hahaha -
Who is working on which scenario or campaign?
pazuzusmiles replied to Aragorn2002's topic in CM Normandy Maps and Mods
..Yes I have noticed the scenarios/campaigns drying up a bit...this could mean all our fellow grognardians are deeply immersed in the stoc k campaign.scenarios....I know I am personally still battling thru all of CMBN let alone playing scenarios/campaignswith our commonwealth lads...... into the breach.... -

will a module be based on the Eastern Front?
pazuzusmiles replied to Magnum50's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I agree Erwin!Barbarossa to Berlin, the 1st Eastern Front software was epic in scale...u could fight whole thing from the first warm days of June to the final winter and horrors of '44-'45...but what do u men when u say: "I understand the logistics re starting E. Front in '44.." iS it gonna pick up chronologically from the calender western fronts being played on? man that would suck...I loved all the old school panzer 2's and 38T's all of which were just about obsolete or not used for field action by 1944.... but either way ill close by saying Battlefront rocks regardless....thanks for the intelligent games -
Posible? CMOSTFRONT mod?
pazuzusmiles replied to Jorge MC's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Agreed good gentlemen! I am just trembling with excitement over how the eastern front expierence is gonna be like with all these new mechanics ect...marketing wise it might be smart to release the main eastern front game and then as Wodin suggested release modules for both in a rotated format...keeping all of us happy rather than burning us out on the western front...which by no means indicates im unhappy with it but part of what I like about CM series is barbaroosaa to berlin, afghanistan ect the more obscure conflicts and less of the GI JOE %#*% that clogs the market...well the US market anyway hahah
