BDW Posted November 23, 1999 Share Posted November 23, 1999 It is funny - I remember in the early days of the old board, many people were opposed to and confused by BTS's 3D plans for CM. Some people were downright furious about it!Many were insisting on a top down view and covinced they would ONLY play the game from that perspective. I wonder if they still feel the same way... My buddy was playing CCIV the other day and I felt claustrophobic just *watching* it. I wanted him to go to the #4 view so bad! It was horrible being stuck in that top down world. You lose all sense of the broader picture of the battlefield and you constantly have to scroll all over to keep track of things. I guess what I am saying is: "BTS you were right." Now I can NEVER go back. I realized when I saw CCIV that I am already taking CM's 3D system for granted. However, I must say that the top down view in CM is very good for accurately positioning your troops in buildings or next to the walls, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MantaRay Posted November 23, 1999 Share Posted November 23, 1999 See CC4 was good for something after all: greater appreciation of the vision of BTS. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Posted November 23, 1999 Share Posted November 23, 1999 "It is funny - I remember in the early days of the old board, many people were opposed to and confused by BTS's 3D plans for CM." Yes I was laughing heartily at the time at some of the idiotic comments. People were sticking their little flags in the ground "I probably won't use the 3d views and play from top down!" hehehe.

Moon Posted November 23, 1999 Share Posted November 23, 1999 BDW - right on the money. Claustrophobic is the word here. You really miss that one dimension, don't you? But most funny was for me when I started to look for the rewind key to see what had happened to a team off screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted November 23, 1999 Share Posted November 23, 1999 It probably ran into a tank. Average survival of a full-strength infantry squad which runs into a solitary tank is three seconds or one main gun round. I NEVER knew 75mm HE was so effective ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Davie Posted November 24, 1999 Share Posted November 24, 1999 Captain Foobar; you've been emailed. I won't make any public comments because the game system has been set and people obviously love it. However, should anyone wish to enter into a polite and private discourse regarding the utilization of 3d elements, please feel more than free to email me.
