Gotta say what year...

I stoped play in CM because i preffer Graviteam games. They are able to make patch 2 times in month and addon once a month. Realism as well is higher.
If they manage to patch the UI into something useable I'll give them a look. (all I'm saying on this topic)

If this patch does not come out soon I'm going to take drastic action.
Yup, you guessed it, I'm going to start a PBEM game knowing the patch will come out right in the middle of it. I guess I have to do my part...

some new info about patch status could be cool
Watch out, you will be accused of being a pushy ingrate with posts like that.

Difficulty of programming. BF has stated that before. The Pyro in me would sure love to see it added.
-
If this is a standard tactic the first drone can purposely be built with less expensive components too. Those on the ground have no real choice but to shoot it down if they can or be spotted unless in cover already.
-
The main one, for me, is perfectly fine troops leaving cover to stand in the open an action spot or two away when fired upon by Arty (and in my case a machine gun). This was a result of tweaking some other code in the unit AI to handle some other item that I don't remember.

This is possibly the best advice ever offered here on these forums. It certainly is the best post ever on one of these "why are we still waiting for X" threads. How come his post does not have 10, 20 or 200 up votes? My mind boggles.
Was that too snaky? I might have broken my new years resolution.
Arty I could live without but in the game I was playing troops jumped out of a trench when being fired on by machine guns - and they were not broken or panicking. Machine guns in general is something that is hard to play a CM game without.

quite a number of rather minor issues had been reported from players the recent times, So I´d guess (and hope) BFC goes through them all and check for validity and do fixes if necessary. If that takes the time we need to the see the patch, I´d be willing to wait even longer, also considering current V4 is fully playable with no true game breakers IMO.
Not in mine. Jumping out of perfectly good trenches with arty falling all around is a game breaker.

How much longer do we have to wait for the patch? This is ridiculous!!
Soon - of course it has been "soon" for over a year now.

All this talk of the Flyers forces me to go off topic again. Of course the Flyers are the best - I've never seen better boxing in my life.

Beside me, retrieved this summer prior to a house sale, are two boxes containing my ASL collection (full set of mounted boards for the original series). Also in there is the game that set me on the path for that and to end up here: Squad Leader. It had been years since I'd seen the stuff. My first thoughts when looking at it were:
- God, this stuff is cool!
- I don't remember the print being this small. How tiny the counters are! Oh, man, I need a zoom key...
The newer stuff is written with a larger font. Very few actual rules changes (you could easily play it with the first edition rules still) but the needs of the fan base are factoring in to the reprints...

Amen to that brother, Amen to that. (or "So Say We All" for the nerdier folks).
After all these years I still get a kick from remembering the guys insisting that ASL and it's ilk were SO much better and entertaining than any wretched computer game, firing up CMBO and watching their jaws thudding to the ground...
Plenty of ASLers who HAVE seen CMBO and were not impressed as well. The experience of reading through hundreds of pages a rules written in legaleeze cannot be matched with a computer game - though the depths to which some here plumb the internals of CM via repeated testing is pretty unique too.

Even if you CAN see, nine times out of ten your shot will hit the tree 3 feet in front of you tank while return fire never does. You would think the gunner would notice that tree right in front of him and not hit it.
-
At least not today.

Talking about blanks and not firing at close range since they are still dangerous. My friend was in the army in the eighties and told me about an exercise he was on, they gave him a flare and said to fire it at a vehicle since it was a "LAW". They DIDN'T tell him to shoot it up in the air and instead he aimed it at an APC that was going by. The REF chewed him out a new one he says.
-
On the 11th I apparently rented a car in Europe. I've never been to Europe and have no intention of going there any time soon. Must have been a pretty darn good car since the fee was $1300 too!
Impossible to say how they got my CC but I called, disputed it, and had my CC number changed.

Combat Mission is so slick you'll frequently see your pixeltruppen sliding into position...
I yell GUMBY! every time I see that (well, often anyway)

How long b4 hospitals start doing the same thing? "Sorry, you went to an unapproved doctor, your insurance is now void at this hospital."
Insurance has been that way for 20-30 years now too. Not Hospital specific per say but managed care limited you to a set list of doctors - which is the same thing.
As for cars, I remember when changing a headlight involved unscrewing the old one and putting a new one in. Now it requires special tools and usually taking apart half of the bumper.

At this point, considering the year that was 2018, I'll believe it when I see it. That said I'll be more then pleased to be happily surprised.

Not playing CM because of a couple of bugs is just silly, guys. You're missing out on a lot of gaming fun.
Not if the bug in question suspends disbelief in the simulation.

Soon is a relative concept. SF2 was "coming soon" in August...
-
Being the same engine for all three titles the main question is which theater of operations is most interesting to you. You won't go wrong with any of them. The Normandy and SF2 titles probably have the most bang for the buck due to the bundle discounts.

They do not do sales ever. A pre-order price is the closest they ever get.

In my opinion (that and a dollar won't get you a cup of coffee anymore, maybe a thimble of coffee though) BF has been tying too much into each patch. I think they said the same thing further up in this thread and that future patches would be more limited - but then again maybe not.
