I don't know about you guys, but to me the word "bump" jumps to mind. ...just saying...

@ MikeyD: Very good point, but then there's doing it and overdoing it @Wyseman: Nice work mate!

I think i remember people saying that adding foliage to vehicles was very hard or impossible to do in CMBO back in the day. Even though i'm no modder, this might mean it became even harder with the more complex models of CMN. You're right btw. It's mostly the German vehicles that need some mud splashed onto them. The Tiger looks ok, but the Panther and Stugs look like they had a paintjob minutes before battle . Mind you, a freshly painted panzer is still something to behold... edit: what we need is some of the people who are into 1:35 WW2 diorama's. The weathering those guys can produce is beyond brilliant and just screams to be translated to CMN.

Hey guys, Is anyone working on dirtying up vehicle textures? They look much too clean to my liking.

Sounds like you need to tell the insurance company your pc blew away and buy a laptop

You sir, need to start writing books

While playing the "Deville" scenario as Germans, one of my pak38 crews got severely hammered by small arms fire. After a while only 1 crew member was left. He then proceeded by picking up the pak by himself and hauling it back about 10m. Unfortunately he replaced the gun in front of a wall, so he had no LOS at all, then got shot. Weird thing is he never got shaken, just rattled. I noticed some other weird stuff going on with AT guns, like refusing to change facing when redeploying. From the inglorious to the glorious: i felt gung-ho with a Tiger and decided to charge 6 Shermans that were holding a small town in a QB meeting encounter. As slow as his turret was, he still picked em off 1 by 1. To my surprise, the AI then sent 2 shermans around my left flank in an attempt to knock the big cat out. The Tiger anticipated and killed em both. Oh the sweet sight of rushing the infantry into the town afterwards....passing the Tiger and 6 burning Sherman wrecks.... Iron crosses for everyone! Huzzah!

What did i do to make you think i'm from the U.S.?

What a stroke of luck... My order for fibre was just installed yesterday. 1.3Gb in 4 mins, heh.

I'm impressed with the models, looks very sharp indeed. Maybe i missed something though, i can't choose a resolution above 1280x960. Can choose "desktop" which should be 1600x1200 native, but the resolution is lower then mentioned setting. Can someone clarify for me? There is one thing that bugged me during the tutorial mission. I got to a point where my infantry got close to a pak40, then i ordered them to assault it from the side. As they did so, they stopped right next to it, the BAR gunner literally stuck his weapon in the pak gunners' ear and fired. ....and missed. About 4 times. Then the squad panicked (probably because they found out what the term "ubermensch" really means). After that they ran away in the enemy direction. I then sent in a second team to assault the gun (again from the side). They stopped aprox 3 meters from it, started firing and missed. Before i got a chance to throw half the US of A and their mothers on the friggin thing, the battle ended. Turned out the crew of the pak only got rattled.

Obama sez: "gief demo now!"

Just another link regarding the tank suspension discussion. I shot this with my phone at Tankfest 2008.

Enough with all the fanboi-ism and misplaced patience! We demand the games' release within 48 hours or this woman will be mailed to you one piece at a time!!! (and no, we have been told you will not be able to put her back together again afterwards).

LMAO! I'd say jesus christ, but all things considered that might be bad taste...

Tyr and Moon....this is your take on these happenings: Let's discuss what kind of vidcard has been used while recording the beta AAR vids. Hmm...4 gigs...yeah....ok...windows 7? Right..ok.....Geforce 260 yes, maybe we can add a few fps when we... This is the take the rest of us have: An axe wielding Jack Nicholson coming through your bathroom door, shouting: "Heeeeere's Normandy". Waking up in a sweat from a nightmare where the full BF crew stands around your bed...dressed as pinhead grinning: "WE HAVE SUCH SIGHTS TO SHOW YOU". WE CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!! GIEF!

I know mate, but i meant that i'm guessing we will see a release date before the download starts. As we have not seen a date yet...etc etc. Hence my remark of hoping for a surprise in the mail (download open without having seen a date first).

Aha. Now there's something you don't see in CoH . I never thought about sound contact per unit...that's a great piece of realism to take into account. Thanks for the reply!

Another excellent appetizer, thank Chris! While watching the vid, i noticed two instances where i didn't really understand the soundcontact questionmarks onscreen. This moment at aprox 30:33 (did someone in the platoon fart and now they are wondering who it was?): And then this one where Jerry suspects the Americans to tunnel underneath the road. Time stamp aprox 58:26. Can anyone elaborate on how the sound contact system works? I'm sure my men will be getting very paranoid if they capture an enemy, pass him, turn their heads and then wonder what that sound is 1 meter behind them...

Nah, i heard it got cancelled.

Well...noone at BF actually gave us a date, which makes me think we will not be playing for another couple of weeks. Although i'm hoping for a surprise in my mail, i'm guessing we will see a definate date first.

First post and i'm using it to thank you mr. Krause! Your vids are worth stepping out of the shadow for
