Michael Emrys Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Never heard anything about a "purple" sky. Hendrix sang of a 'Purple Haze'. Will that do? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet 0369 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hendrix sang of a 'Purple Haze'. Will that do? Michael I think we had a bunch of things in the 60's and 70's that started with "purple," but I really don't remember:-D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akd Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The concrete barriers do look cool. I wonder if they are flavor objects that vehicles can ignore or if they are like hedgehog obstacles in the WWII titles that restrict vehicular movement. They are flavor objects and come with all their limitations. They should be used sparingly, and not to form continuous walls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik mond Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I really dig the foliage in the second shot. Beans maybe? Foliage graphics have really improved in the last couple of years. Michael Potatoes. I agree the photo realistic quality and the models really look good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leakyD Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 They are flavor objects and come with all their limitations. They should be used sparingly, and not to form continuous walls. Dang. Would be nice to have these updated to act like walls in a future update... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyhellowhatsnew Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Could you re-skin the current low wall to look like them? Re-skin everything to push the game back to June please. Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahger Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think Dan is asking if modders could reskin this object. In his defense, I do not believe he is asking the devs to do any reskinning on his behalf before releasing the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rokko Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Potatoes. I agree the photo realistic quality and the models really look good. Those are the same as in CMRT and they actually look quite terrible, because they are just huge sprites. Way too large to look believable when spinning around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahger Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The potatoes spin around? Well, they will certainly need to fix that before they release the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKODA Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have a thought to consider while we are waiting here impatiently. There is a PC game called Door Kickers, I’m sure many here are familiar with it, where the player must plan and engage in CQB missions through houses, apartments, warehouses, etc. I think some of the ideas from that game could be borrowed for future versions of Combat Mission, in particular features like making rooms inside of buildings and houses so we can create entry/defence plans by using waypoints, target arcs, grenade lobbing commands, etc. I’d love to see this type of breach and clear gameplay eventually find its way into Combat Mission games, this kind of thing is right up my alley. On one part of the map you could be engaged in a long range tank dual, on another part you could be deciding which squad member you want to risk being the first guy bursting through the front door. I would love to know if you guys think this room to room style gameplay would be worth the effort, personally I think this kind of tactical depth would attract more players to the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraft Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) I would expect basic Infantry formations before that though. Edited January 25, 2015 by Kraft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahger Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Not for me, Takoda, sorry. I am a huge fan of Door Kickers (and an original crowd-funder to boot) but it's a game scaled at team (not even squad) level where CM is scaled at company level. I would not want to deal with the minutiae of individual soldiers entering rooms in CM any more than I would want to play large urban battles in DK. I do not think CQB falls within the scope of CM's concept nor is its engine designed to simulate conflict on such a granular level.

Cuddles the Warmonger Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 While Bahger does have a point in comparing the scale in terms of strategy and overall strategy, the added possibility of animating building entries of the would add a whole other magnitude of realism to the game. If some modifications were made to the engine, to allow for wiggle room in creating animations for door breaching and what not, things like casualties from storming rooms and what not would be infinitely more accurate (although I'm not arguing it would be worth the effort, adding furniture and just generally having an overhaul of building interiors) . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKODA Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yes I agree that adding furniture wouldn't be necessary, I think graphically it could be kept very simplistic, with the main focus being room clearing options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
