DISCLAIMER: i am not promoting hamachi,if you know some better software with clean and simple interface ,ditch hamachi
 
 
i'd keep it simple,concrete points without unnecessary stories
 
1.throw 120 dollars on 1 hamachi 252 slot room which would last 1 year (12 months)
 
2.make a youtube video promoting it (nothing special), no need for hollywood effects or get some fanboy to make it
 
2a   ask diplex heated to promote it in one video or someone who has lots of views, or better,ask everyone you know
 
3. post a sticky thread about it get people to talk about it 
 
 
4.get some people to manage the network for free (like theres anything to manage really,a 10 year old could do it)
you would spend 120 dollars and few hours of your time and will probably get a large (for our non mainstream universe anyway) multiplayer comunity for Real time and Wego* (course,pbem wont be banned there,it ll boost pbem aswell) games
 
and those who want to play real time or wego, will get the actuall channce to play
 
i guess it would boost the community aswell
 
 
again,i dont wana be labeled as hamachi propagandist,as i said, i am mentioning hamachi because its on my mind atm
 
thats it,my sincere,objective,non political suggestion

I also really hope dedicated multiplay server for Realtime and 1min multi players. If there is a buddy-friend, chatting, and memo system, that would be awesome. 
More multi player = more fans of CM series = increase of sales. Also I feel like the single player contents of CMBS are not enough, so hope the multi player contents compensate it. Dedicated server will greatly help this.

taking sides and then closing it, is kinda different thing

You always say "be nice and we can have a discussion"...
But how "nice" can you be if you want to criticize something ?
After every suggestion for change the first thing you hear is either:
- no its fine you are irrational
or
- will never happen they are a small team

Them you say "hey but the BFC marketing suggests this is a ->new<- game so whats ->new<- about it except textures and scenarios"
Then it goes one downwards from there people are calling you aggresive aor wish you would die in russia (actually happened)...

Im done with it, you cant criticize anything about the state of the engine or BFC's business model without getting your thread locked.
And by the way i dont see all those threads criticizing CMx2 or BFC, they are non existent. Only "polite" bug reports and happiness.

I dont know how much longer you can ride the CMx2 train without significant change, i just hope you dont wait till its to late.
I was always a BFC and CM fan...

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

i said what i think,i wont respond to this thread anymore. you can do as you wish

i dont ask you to change or this forum to change , i just wont comply,that was the point of the thread. i said that already, i know i am noone here and i dont ask for anything
 
also, i wasnt rude towards anyone, that 'evil' thing is laughable,it was more of a gentle provocation

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.

You have never heard of a VPN before?

Hi !

What kind of engine improvements do you expect from the Bulge game ?
Do you wish that the performance and loading times get fixed ?

On my list are these technical and engine improvements:

- Overall Better Performance
- Reduce the loading times dramatically
- Get rid of all the old graphic glitches
- The ability to save turns as "replays"
- Fix the wind effect

- Use road command
- The ability for infantry to use differend spacings and formations
- Better/reworked (not so ugly) trenches and foxholes (a must-have for bulge)
- TacAI improvements for example better panic behavior
- Finally fix the use of bridges
- Real Deep snow terrain with a effect on tanks and vehicles
- Reworked UI that makes use of modern FullHD 16/9 screens
- Better Night combat effects and features like flares

What do you think, what real new features and fixes to you expect from the Bulge game ?
Oh, and why cant i start a poll anymore ?

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 

Me too.I am wondering how many of these posters receive a free game as beta testers?

I will never understand why you people insist on defending BF, as if they are incapable of defending themselves. And then you get mad when someone calls you fanboys.

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 actually think the fanboys and yes-sayers are irrelevant, to much of them here, CM will never improve that way.
BFC could release utter trash or just a reskinned version of CMSF as CMSF 2.0 and you would go ape**** about it.
They can not answer questions or bug reports for months and nobody sees a problem with that.

Yeah, with the current badly optimized engine my "vaunted computer would fry or more likely just simply hang".
Stop telling everybody about those "magic" AI process thats soooooo demanding on your CPU and all those bullets pew...luckely i can play ArmA3 with high setting with 40 FPS...
If i shoot mortar rounds at a enemy APC it will just sit there as long as it is not hit...although there are impacts in 25m distance...
Vehicles are to stupid to use roads and pathfinding is horrible...is that also part of the "magic" AI process thats so demanding ?

I know and i was one of those guys who screamed for FOW trenches. But what we got is way worse...the current representation of trenches and foxholes as ugly "units" is awful.
A workaround due to engine limitations...nothing more.
 
- drones
Invisible, maybe just a F16 with another sound file, i cant be to much work if you have aircraft fire already modeled ingame

- mgs fire random numbers of bullets now
Believe it or not, for me thats just a minor change, something a coder does in one or two hours.

- precision artillery
is just a shell without to much dispersion, i doubt that this was much work...

- anti air craft fire
Its just something firing into the air, planes are invisible so it could be as simple as a randomly generated number. If that number is >x then the plane was hit...minor change

- editor improvements
Using the editor is still a pain in the a**. But yeah at least they tried to improve it a bit. But still its not user friendly or straightforward.

- mg fire being more effective in general but most speficially against infantry.
Again, just change a few variables, do some testing and you have it...a minor improvement that is a basic thing to include into a patch

- In door firing of rocket weapons
Again, most likely just a small code change and some testing, minor change
Like:
If _weapon == "RPG" then {allowfirefrominsidebuilding = false} else {allowfirefrominsidebuilding = true}

- flame weapons
Only avaiable in RT, this was already present in CMx1

The Bulge game will use the same germans (+ a few new tanks and textures) like we already have in CMBN and CMRT.
The Bulge game will use the "flat" snow tile and weather "graphic effects" from CMFI
The Bulge game will use the US forces we already have in CMBN and its addons (+ a few new tanks and textures)
The Bulge game will have the flame weapons and tank riders from RT
The Bulge game will have mostly the same TO&E as CMBN with some additions and changes
The Bulge game will have new scenarios

Please tell me, from your perspective, what the big "new" feature of the next full price CMx2 game ?

CMx2 is getting pretty long in the tooth imo. It's getting harder and harder to be excited about new releases. It's pretty much to the point of oh wow, another title with the same recycled assets we've been seeing/hearing for nearly a decade, and the same engine/gameplay quirks we have to deal with. However, I don't think we'll see a CMx3 any time soon. I think we'll actually get to see DCS EDGE/Nevada released before we see a CMx3.
