  1. No problem. Many players are either lurkers or simply don't post. It's very possible this user was just frustrated or angry so the user would not have a post count. Just something to think about. I have been a member for a while now yet have posted only a handful of times. Does this make me a troll?
  2. Funny I didn't pick up on this "suave" thing. As its been already stated and clearly you over looked it, BF could easily setup a BT download with a private tracker. I am going to guess that many members would be willing to help. This would allow both DVD users and DOWNLOAD users the same access. I know this might be a hard concept for you to understand. By not offering an alternative it in fact looks like a minor money grab. Its also been stated that companies smaller do not charge you to re-download your purchased game. BF needs to get paid or none of us get games we want. I'm simply not sure what is so hard to understand when it comes to the many possible alternatives that cost no money.... The File Repository... Charge you to re-download your product but offer unlimited downloads on their own Repository... Hmmmm
  3. I think you miss the point. This is not so much about $5 as the principle. The OP had the game installed and clearly said his BACKUP FAILED. If the OP is being honest and I see no reason to call someone a liar unless you have something, even on line. The customer did what he was supposed to do. BACKUP the download. Why is this such a hard concept for some of you to get? Also, as has already been pointed out. BF has options for allowing a paying customer to download the game again. BT is useful. BF could take it a step further by having an allow list. I accept bandwidth is costly but options do exist.
  4. Why is the OP a troll? He clearly said his backup failed. He could have gone about it in a different way for sure. Its obvious the user is angry or frustrated. That should be fairly obvious...... Except to maybe you. Calling anyone pathetic or incompetent I'm sure is against the terms of posting. However, I am sure this will be allowed as these forums tend to be caustic in nature anyhow.
  5. Battlefront Repository. Many of these files are in the 100+MB range.
  6. I did get a e-mail response from support about the missing infantry bug with Windows 8. I will say that they at least get back to their customers and follow up. It sounded like 1.11 would be out within a month. If this is really the case one wonders what this means for the 2.0 upgrade. Support thanks for the follow up, I don't like the wait. It looks to be fixed and I would prefer a hot fix, but it is what it is. Still unable to play CM-N.
  7. 1) New is not better. 2) Last time I checked there are plans to release new modules for BN. 3) Missing soldiers bug in BN. Not fixed. Guess I will have to pay for a 2.0 update. 4) No communication for the most part as of late. 5) Activation limits without the ability to unlicense, not sure who thought this would be a good idea. Just recently changed a hard drive with ghosting software and had to use another license. Protect your software, don't give the screw to the paying customer. Need I go on?? It's great that we are going to be getting games and modules faster, but that also comes with a negative.
  8. I am disappointed to be honest by this. This does not sit well with me. There has been zip for communication and the last thing I expect would happen would be a fix for Italy.
  9. I understand your frustration with the DRM - http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=105605 Demo works, full game with DRM does not. No time line for a fix as of yet. I have to boot back my old image when I want to play. Their support department responds quickly and left me with the impression that activations can be added. Still over a weekend of Holiday, I could be left not playing my game because of this. I agree they need to protect their software but let us reclaim the activation like most software allows.
  10. Thanks! Great mod. Downloading now.
  11. Is this mod available for Normandy? I have looked for but cannot find it.
  12. Let me start off right from the start by saying. I enjoy your products. I generally purchase all your games and modules. A company that has as few releases as BF can afford and should take this attitude. You simply cannot afford to take this gamble. Especially if you think the number of multi-player games would in fact be low as you claim. While I am disappointed in the delay of Conflict of Heroes. It is one of my favorite board games. The move to PC looks outstanding. The match making service while involved and costly, will allow this product to grow and sale. Furthermore, Matrix games and Slitherine have merged. The amount of titles that are released is much larger. Almost all of these titles have mutli-player options. COH is going to be the flagship test product. I expect many of the current titles and all new titles to take advantage of this service going forward. You have your business model and reasons for not giving us good matchmaking and they have a business model as well. I don't see the need to call attention to their issue of a beta product. Having been a long time lurker, I get it, you don't care about the multi-player portion of your product. Go make your games. In the end if its good product I will make a purchase. I for one am glad someone is going in this direction. As a customer they will get more of my money as a result of this service. Hell, I would even pay for the service itself because its such a pain to play war and strategy games generally over the web these days.
  13. I would say this game is not for everyone. Might not be for you. I love the history of WW2 and have played strategy games for a very long time now. This game is very hard to get into and could really benefit from a real tutorial especially if the company wants to reach out to new users. You are always going to get those on every board that are very helpful and those that are not. We are lucky in that most here want to help those newcomers learn the game. You have to stay with it though no matter how hard or frustrating the game is.
  14. Clearly not a great attitude for bringing back some of the older players. The best? I agree this is the best thing going for War gaming currently. People do hate change and those that skipped SF will have these same types of issues and gripes that took place when SF was released. Take a chill pill and be patient, growing the community is in the best interest of everyone.
  15. I agree. Either way Sixxkiller go test and let the management post when the demo/game will or wont be released.
  16. Unless we get a demo today, I am not sure how we would see the release this week. I hope to be wrong but at this point it looks like yet another week without a release. You don't have to give a specific date BF. Simply posting quickly no release this week, that would of been just fine. Missed the end of April and in the Mac is back post, 14 - 21 days looks to be missed as well. Simply let us know if there is no release this week, its really not that hard.
  17. I don't see the bitterness. Its obvious that there are those on the boards that cannot for some reason allow anyone to have anything negative at all to same about BF.
  18. I am very concerned as well, if we do not see a demo today or very early next week my guess would be another week without a release. Every day is getting further away from the end of April. I pre-purcahsed and was willing to wait. However, if this turns into the end of May, I will be disappointed that my money has been in their hands with no product for a much longer time period. Now I know time frames are not absolute but the lack of communication is also telling to me.
