Plenty of people manage to criticize the game without being passive-aggressive.

I have no problem with locking threads but i too dont like the "i have the last word" thing...

I dont know, maybe the BFC forums are a place where everyone is happy.
Take for example the DayZ forums (a game i play). There are hard discussions about which way the game should evolve and if the devs are fast enough fixing bugs and getting the game to Bata status.
Here this is not possible.

i just want to say that i don't share your opinion that its ok to share your views/standings/opinions/decisions  on certain things and then lock the thread so that your word is last. i don't belive in publicity ,it doesnt make you 1% bigger
 
also i don't really experience your thread locking as something like ' i am owner of this place and i do what i want, i know i am right and i dont have time/nerves to argue with people who have no idea what they are talking about'
 
sure,you don't think my opinion is relevant,nor i ask for it to be relevant to you,but i wont comply,thats the bottom line
its not like we are wild ,rude,arugmentless creatures
 
wont happen, i protest, and i 'd rather be banned than comply with your policies
 
 
Sebastian Lacroix is Not approving
 
 

Well, it's a forum which exists for debate.
If someone posts something I disagree with, I will post a counter-argument if I can.
If that = "defending BFC", so be it.
 
But wait, I am a fanboy
( I don't think I find the term insulting either - I like the game, it's true. )

your first # , or point is just for lol in that thread . no other word can describe it. you are painting battlefront as some guys living under bridge and even counting this forum as a buuuuuurdeeeeeeen. next time we should pay for their gas,so they dont have to 

They can use the CMx2 engine as long as they like, its fine for me (17 votes [38.64%])
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
so many voted? my friend said - I was born in the Middle Ages and I want to die in the Middle Ages

Excellent post Rambler, i totally agree with you.
You could get excited about CMBS a bit because it finally got back into modern warfare and had a current event as background) but now we are back to WW2 with the Bulge game which will feel/play just like CMBN,CMFI,CMRT.
No game changing new feature, the same recycled assets, 8 year old engine quirks and graphic issues...

BFC, its getting old...

He is right though, ha.

Its also hard when every critic is met with terms like "overblown", "irrational" or "ridiculous exaggeration"...

i just went into a cut of at koevering scenario, minimal fps 8, average 12-13, maximum 40 (when looking at the skies) i5 4690k at4ghz,gtx 970 oced,8gb of ram. clean fresh pc. can run even arma 3 on 60 fps if server is good. i dont know why are you still lying.
 
if we take this what  i said true,which it is, battlefront is believing that playing on 15 fps is ok. 
 
or 
 
if thats not the case,they re not believing that, then they are not able to deliver playable product

Oh wow, did not know you are that old school...iam sorry...
And no, Germany will not invade Russia again, i will stay here and tell you about stuff you refuse to hear.
CM has big flaws, face it and and stop acting like a hardcore fanboy so we can have a constructive discussion.

 
Sorry, if you dont see how infantry formation (correctly implemented) could enhance the CM gameplay then you clearly have a problem with your imagination.

No, it would just show that Steve refused to sell a great game or feared that it would outshine their own CM series someday.

@ Kieme(ITA)

Sorry, i like you and your Mods but what you wrote about the FPS thing is trash. Lacroix is 100% correct !
If your PC is 3 or 4 times as powerful as the "Suggested" requirements and you still only get stuttering 25 FPS (with drops below 15 FPS) on big Maps then something is wrong.
If you can start ArmA3, load the biggest possible island and drink a coffee in the time it takes CM to load a medium-big scenario then something is wrong !
This game, lets face it, is just very poorly optimized, thats all !
Why are you defending BFC about that ? I cant understand it...

Hi folks, my latest file and first BS scenario (conversion) doesn't show up in the repository for some reason, but you can find it here, too: http://cm.1540.info/cmbs_maps.php

No, not necessarily.
 
What ?
Look, they as a commercial company try to make as much money as possible for the lowest amount of work/cost as possible.
I as a customer can demand that they invest more work/money into their games even if this means they make less profit.
They can choose to ignore me, i can choose to not buy their products.

But then again i hope they as a small team have dedication and love for their product, at least as much as all the ArmA modders for example that create all those models and textures for free in their freetime.
I mean as far as i know they already "use" community members for scenario and content creation.

No, its 100% a engine problem because of bad optimization.
 
No
 
Yes
 
No
 
It has infantry formations and a "Use Road" command.
 
I just think its cheap from BFC to always use the same year for their games (CMBN, CMRT, Bulge)...sure that helps them to recycle content and save work but i as a customer want something fresh, something truly "new" !
We cant have engine improvements because BFC has no time/money, fine. but at least give us some fresh scenarios and gear to play with (france'40 or the winter-war).

all they do regarding 'progress' is change the name of the title,add 6 new vehicles,make campaigns that are nowhere near interesting as multiplayer experience and dont fix problems that were present  8 years ago and make 50 maps out of which 35 are crap
 
if you really think couple new targeting mechanics ,broken shaders and holes(decals) on tanks are major improvement then its fine (over the course of 8 , or should i say 10 years soon)

I have both games installed and CMSF overall runs better then CMBS on my pc.

wiggum15 why you dont stop playing then cm if its sou bad ? and moust of this what you asked here are all ready answered to you month/ yars agou by game makers. 

Hi !

CMSF is 8 years old now, technically i would say that we play the same game for 8 years now...
Its time to move to the next level of wargaming !

What do you think, when should BFC start to develop a CMx3 engine ?
What would be the features you want to see in it ?
Do you want it on Steam ?
Do you think a Kickstarter or Early-Access Model would work for BFC ?

My most wanted features:
- Reworked Infantry Simulation (Movement, Formations, Cover, Spotting) right now i think its pretty unrealistic
- Better TacAI, especially for the enemy AI, more situational awareness and a kind of self preservation (better Panic behavior !)
- More Commands like a "Use Road" or Road Movement command for Vehicles
- Make suppression more effective
- Finally enable the TacAI to use bridges
- Reworked Building Model + special MOUT commands
- Inf - Vehicle (Tank,IFV,APC) cooperation commands
- Better simulation of Night Combat with Flares and a NVG View
- Better Modeling of terrain, terrain deformation and real trenches and foxholes not that ugly things we have now (but still with FOW)
- The Option to mark buildings as prepared for defense in the editor
- Fighting Positions for Vehicles
- Better Quick Battles, better automatic force selection
- More options for the AI in the Editor, more trigger options and waypoints
- SOP's for the action Phase like "Evade enemy fire" or "Area fire at suspected enemy positions" or "only engage enemy AFV's"
- Better graphics with not such a comic look like in CMx2
- No more "floating in green goo" map
- Completely redone UI
- Better optimization for Dual and Quad Core CPU's
- Reduce loading times
- Map overlay system
- Actually show us the aircraft
- Wet surfaces during rain
- Build in Vehicle and Weapon Encyclopedia

What do you think ?

Wow, you reached a new low with this post sburke...

No, you DONT criticize how CM handles Bridges !
If that was the case you would stard threads about it and ask BFC why they did not fix it in 8 years.
You have a strange desire to always be polite toward BFC, thats why you never would ask them harsh questions or demand a answer from them.

Then you try to get this thread closed...
That typical, get the critic banned or derail his threads so they got closed...again, very mature.

And about World Cup, as far as i know Germany won it, i mean the real thing not the Women's thing nobody cares about.
And i guess you care as much about football as i care about American Football or Women's "soccer"...
Thats so childish but you still got me to answer this...i know thats your plan because you want m,e banned or at least this thread closed...

The fanboy levels on this forum are through the roof.
I mean, I like ARMA 3, I worked for BI for a while, but I can still say some parts of it are a POS and are a downgrade from ARMA 2.
Any criticism, constructive or otherwise, is looked upon with utmost scorn here.

Can we please have this thread closed?

what is this scenario?

@ MikeyD

Now can you tell me how snow will be modeled ?
Will there be different snow tiles simulating deep snow ?
Will it actually look like deep snow or will it just be flat ?
Will there be reworked trench-foxhole models and other forms of protected fighting positions (overhead protection) ?
Will there be "reinforced/prepared" buildings ?
Will there be "snow" weather, i mean actuall snow i can see falling ?
Will the buildings be recycled from the Normandy game or are they all/mostly new models ?
Will the infantry movement (formations !) get a update ?
Will the TacAi be improved ?
Will night combat (Flares/LOS) be improved ?
Will there be a "Use Road command" ?
Will there be new AI trigger features ?
How much of the content is recycled (1944 again again...) ?

Is there a new feature that enhances the gameplay like "action phase SOP's" ?
Imagine you could choose a SOP like -> "evade enemy fire" plot a few reverse waypoints back into cover or a fast waypoint behind a building.
You start the turn, your Sherman hunts forward, receives AT fire and rushes forward over the open field behind a barn...
Just something that gives the gameplay more depth ?

No (huh, i thought it will be the "new" CM game) ?
So its just a new TO&E (modders cant touch this) + new scenarios + some new textures + a few new models (again, modders cant touch this)
Doesent this sound more like a 20$ DLC for you too ?
Tell us, what the great deal about the Bulge game...whats "new" ?

You cant forever hide behind the "wow look at our well researched TO&E" while your engine is a rusty old thing full of flaws...except you are JTS...
 
...there are only a few things the ordinary german cares less about then women playing soccer.

I never said CM needs to be perfect.
Its only about the lack of progress since CMSF, 8 years and no big step forward, no game changing new feature, no new level of realism for one of the best wargame series ever...that makes me sad and angry because i suspect BFC became lazy somehow.
If i look at the improvements GTOS got through the latest patch alone or the Mius Front videos...
Its not about being perfect...its about progress !
I dont want BFC to become the next JTS !
