Let it snow...let it snow...let it snow

I don't think the fog setting would do it. Not unless BFC comes up with a thicker fog like was in CM1.

The videos are excellent. Really looking forward to Gustav Line. I like the War Movie mode, don't know if I would use it all the time though. Bet it looks very atmospheric in a winter battle. Any chance of getting a vid or screenshot of a snowy Italian day in War Movie mode?

Never had a problem with burning vehicles slowing down my computer but then I don't play the large scenarios. One thing that concerns me though is when BFC puts fire in game. A large spreading fire could cause quite a lot of smoke. I hope it doesn't affect frame rate too much.

Also don't forget the US was still fighting a war in the pacific in 1945. Much of their manpower was focused in that theater. In 1946 this would not be the case so it would be an interesting conflict. But of course by this time both sides were sick of war.

Didn't Patton already have this idea?

I wonder when we will see some winter terrain introduced? Will the first module for CMFI have it or will we have to wait for the Bulge game? I kind of miss the winter battles from the old CM games.

Ah that is good news....thanks for the link JSj.

I must have missed that. Was that announced somewhere?

Another point to make about the lack of 3rd party scenarios I think, is that a lot of the best scenario designers and mapmakers have been put on the Battlefront Beta team. Presumably/hopefully they too busy working on stuff for the new modules and games to have much time to design anything for CMFI.

What is the time-frame to be covered by the Market Garden module? I would love to see some fall foliage terrain included.

Fuser just loaded the new distant horizon and sky mod. They look great but I seem to be getting a weird shimmering effect, almost like clouds moving very fast and casting a shadow on the ground. Never happened before and it only happens on clear days so i'm guessing it's something in the cloud-sky mod. The new horizons look fantastic. Any chance you could mod the ground the map floats on to a little greener color to blend in with the horizon? Thanks again for all the great mods.

Wow... beautiful work there Fuser...that last one is fantastic! Please upload Loving your terrain pack too...thank you...hope you do some more.

Just wanted to add my thanks for all the hard work in making this mod. Really improves the look and functionality of the UI.

Well they did weigh 65 tons...that might be what he meant by "heavily" utilized. I hope they get in the game too..the more toys to play with the better.

Anticipation.... Getting closer to release?

Do you have an option to "restore and ignore" it? I know I had to do this with Norton when I downloaded the game because it quarantined the exe. file. Haven't had any problems since then.

A true work of art Fuser! Would love to have the Tiger pic as my wallpaper. I wonder if there is any way to convert it? Ah was easy to do.. just save the pic and set as desktop background. Looks great!

I actually think CM looks better...especially with some of the great mods out there. And of course with much better game play

Any chance the demo will be released this week before the holiday weekend here in the US? Would really like to give the new features a try and make sure the game will run ok on my comp before I decide whether or not to purchase.

Spread the good news then! Cheer the masses! I understand if it's too early for screenshots and stuff but a paragraph or two about what is being worked on doesn't seem like too much to ask for and would help to build anticipation.

I rarely post but check the forums almost everyday hoping to see some news about what's coming up. Seems like the only news lately has been about CM for the Ipad or Mac platform. I really hope they haven't forgotten about us PC users. Also wondering what happened with Steve? Haven't seen a post from him in a long time. Was nice to get the game developer's view on things. I know he's probably busy, but a nice update once in a while would be much appreciated. Oh well i'll keep checking and hoping for some news.

I had thought about trying to make a Gettysburg map..just for fun. Maybe try a Pickett's Charge using WWII troops and weapons. Never got very far on it though. I don't have the talent or patience some of the scenario designers have.

Just wanted to add my thanks to Fuser too. Really enjoying the mod, makes the game much more immersive. Great work.

Wow this is fantastic. Great work Japanzer. Any chance we could see a screenshot of the 3D map to see how the maps compare?
