Maybe i just sound immature and aggressive because my English vocabulary and knowledge about grammar is limited ?
Im most likely younger then most of you but started with CMx1 AK, bought CMSF+Marines+Brits, bought CMBN, bought CMBS, bought CMBN v3.0 Upgrade and iam a infantryman since 6 years.
So you cant bet im not some kind of 17 year old kid that just bought CMBS because war in Ukraine kicks a** and starts to rant about the game, im pretty sure its because of my limited english knowledge that i sound like an a**hole.
Or maybe iam one, who knows...

and I repeat it again - I want to see improved in the new CMB: - Textures of snow - I do not want to look at a copy transferred from CMFI - Sounds (separate ambient for winter) - New volumetric effects - Particle effects - New UI - I do not want to look at is not scratched tank - air bomb hit   fixes, which I'm waiting for 8 years.

This is a new game (I'm not interested at what the engine is made - it's not my problem) and I have my expectations (we all have them) - I hope to increase the quality of the product and the new content, so I made a list of what would make me particularly interested in - and this everything.   if I have to pay another 55 bucks there must be something more than a new campaign / scenarios and a number of new vehicle models     Wiggum15   you are not aggressive, they just are oversensitive

I dont normally use this but...LOL
Really, telling someone who bought the games and plays them that a discussion is not worth it because he is a troll who dont want positive change...
The people who actually dont want "positive change" are you and some others who deny really every issue of CMx2 and the way BFC handles them, you are happy with everything BFC puts out and puts a 55$ price tag on anyway!
Why are you here ? Just to tell everyone who wants some change that his opinion is invalid ?
Again...LOL !

People demand a reworked UI (for the next title), you tell them its not worth BFC's time and there opinion does not matter anyway because they are just negative trolls, thats why this forum has a very specific reputation amongst the non-fanboys.

I will try to reduce your post in the quote to its core...
 Here we go again, the typical attitude of this forum towards users who focus on (or point out) the issues of CMx2...
 
a ) tell them to play another game and shut up
b ) tell them they are idiots who talk nonsense
c ) bash them and/or call them names
 
...as always.

But why did they not announce new winter-condition features already ?
If they are currently working on them and dont know how they will end up they could at least write something like:
"We are currently working on..."
or
"We plan to include..."

That they say nothing about it tells me they will just port over CMFI "snow" and give it new textures. We all know BFC has other, more important work to do...

Sorry, to keep nagging about this....
 
But it has atleast been my impression that the bulge games 'big one' and main selling point will be...
 
New winterconditions (Graphics, effects, gameplay functions...)...and i still hope (trust) it will be.
 
"BFC have never dissapointed yet"...true, true...But if BFC decides to port the snow effects from CMFI then this will be a first for BFC imo...a dissapointment !
 
 
But i don't think they will dissapoint

Putting everyone who is not happy with everything BFC does on your Ignore list just shows how much of a (so called) "Fanboy" you and some others here are.
"Near constant whining and no valuable input", should i laugh ?
The only "valuable input" for you is if someone cheers BFC like a little cheerleader !
 
There is a technical bug report thread -> Hell no thats not a bug/issue, buy a new PC and shut up !
Someone points out a spotting issue -> Stop complaining the spotting model is to complex for you to understand, thats all !
A guy points out the lack of progress of the CMx2 Engine games -> Vote him down, and tell him how he is just constantly whining !
Someone request a new feature -> Shut up dude, BFC has "other work" to do !
 
...just pathetic !
 
Maybe iam to negative towards BFC and CMx2, but some of you alre clearly way to positive about every aspect of CMx2 and BFC as a company !
So i just try to balance things a bit...

Wow you guys have reached an all new low around here.  Near constant whining and no valuable input.  I think my ignore list will be growing soon.  It is official I'm calling you a
 

no i ll continue to piss them off ,legaly. I do not mind sneak peak reviews, nor did i say that i wont buy this game. all i said was: not good as it could be (realistically good,not pure imagination). we are starting to see a pattern: create 2 or 5 new vehicles ,add new formations (same weapons,maybe some minor changes) , make 100 maps out of which at least 50 are complete crap. (digression: some maps from RT are ported to BS..) call it a new game and charge 55 dollars. shadows,shaders,sounds,animations all same,its just a reskin. i know,cm is best game in this genre and beyond, but facts are facts. i cannot be bfc fanatic. one guy saying this is nothing, but 400 people saying it would definatelly change something. and i think its rightful demand. Bring more ,bring more features,do not make reskins all the time. i can live with cm's state for now ,but naturally i want better productS
 
edit: also, patches or fixes , shouldnt be seen as ' favor'. they are there because game wasnt polished enough.they know that if they make crappy buggy game and give no patches,they ll be gone.its a natural process,repairing your body

Im not even going to say it, I will let said picture demonstrate

 
God how I love how it gets people mad.

You forgot to add ...In my opinion....I don't agree at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I think the standard textures are quite good. Maybe because I don't play FPS'ers, but I am amazed at how good the tanks and other vehicles look,and I think terrain is more than adequate. If I have any beef at all, it's that everything looks a bit too "clean".

Sorry but the standard textures are pretty dull, boring...some would call this...bad. I do !
The distant ground is extrem bad, the UI is boring and old fashioned.
It's kind of amusing how some here have a explanation for everything BFC does (they make boring textures because if the modders who keep the forum alive :-o ), they might also will have a explanation if BFC adds no new snow features and graphic effects...

You can clearly see that the quality graphics setting for those Bulge screenshots are set at about balanced or lower, it looks nothing like what a final product would ala Battle for Normandy or Black Sea.

Kieme CMBS additional flavor objects 4 (bunker)
 
This mod adds 1 new flavor object to the game, in form of a bunker. The model and textures were ported from combat mission shock force game with some adjustments.
These flavor objects are not present in any game map created since now, but they will be available for map makers from now on if they decide to use them.
You will find this one in game's editor, under "shelter" in the flavor objects 3 Group.
 
Note: these flavor objects do not provide cover, don't block shots or vehicles movement and are sometimes glitchy with their shadows.
 
Note: the bunker is not usable by infantry, it's just a cosmetic addition.

Hi !
 
we all know that CMx2 + AMD GPU + most drivers gives you long loading times, bad performance or graphic glitches...
And we all know that updating or downgrading the GPU driver is one of the few things that an help...
But updating or downgrading your GPU drivers is a pain in the a** and can cause problems with other games.
 
But there is a way of using a newer or older AMD OpenGL driver without changing your whole GPU driver !
 
How does it work ?
Download a older or newer (or Beta) AMD Catalyst Driver Open the the "driver_you_just_downloaded.exe" with a program like 7zip Inside that directory, traverse into ->Packages\Drivers\Display\W86A_INF (depends on the driver)\B151068 (depends on the driver) and look for the file: atioglxx.dl_ and copy (unpack) it to your CMBS folder (the folder where the game .exe is located !) Open a command window (On the start menu, type "cmd.exe" in the search box, you should see "cmd.exe" appear at the top search results. Right click on this and run as administrator) You should now be in a DOS prompt/DOS box command shell. Type CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlefront\Combat Mission Black Sea (or whatever, its the directory where you installed CMBS) and hit enter Now type EXPAND ATIOGLXX.DL_ ATIOGLXX.DLL
* It should say the file has inflated or expanded like 127% or similar factor. You now should see a atioglxx.dl_ and a atioglxx.dll You can delete the atioglxx.dl_ now CMBS will now use the AMD OpenGL driver from the driver you took the atioglxx.dl_ from, it only affects CMBS and by deleting the atioglxx.dll you can undo it in a second !
This works with all CMx2 games !

Good luck to that Russian under the Abrams! Get your spade out and dig man!
 
Thanks for the comments guys- just out of interest for the replays, is there a way to bookmark camera locations? I'm just trying to manually get the camera in the same place each time and I'm not always spot on. Would make it a lot smoother.
 
In other news, I've got another AAR coming up:
 

 
 
Sucks to be in that building: in hindsight, opening fire was maybe not the best move there.
