Sim1943 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Title says it all - will there be a Christmas 'bone' this year? Obviously we know the status on the release of CM:BS, but maybe another 'Road Ahead' bone? Thanks for all the hard work BFC Chad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Well if it's to be a Christmas Bone it will have to be soon now. Maybe all we'll get for now is a picture of Steve shoveling snow. I do appreciate ChrisND's previews.

Sim1943 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yeah, time is running out! Last year it was on the 20th, so hopefully its still going to happen. Would love to have an idea, even with just words and no pics/videos, of what the lineup for next year is. My best guess: 1. CM:BS 2. Red Thunder Expansion 3. Italy Expansion 4. CM: Bulge With BS coming out early/mid next month, I think that's a pretty realistic list. Would love to see 4.0 for Bulge and whats new with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 state of the battlefield address! They could even televise it on Chris's channel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Nobody noticed the big announcement about CMBN at the top? They're prepping the game so you can play anyone you want regardless of module installed. A basegame player will find himself facing King Tigers and SS though they aren't included in his purchase. That's quite the Christmas bone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite the Christmas bone! Theres all sorts of great news being shelled out by BFC: the master installers, CM:BS soon coming. But the Christmas 'Bone' has typically been about whats next - new features, new games, plans for the next year and so on. So it has information we didn't already know about - something for us to say 'Whoa cool!' over. We have all known about CM:BS and its features since November. The master installers, while greatly appreciated, were guessed at for sometime now - since the master install for the Mac CMBN. If theres not an official one this year, that's fine, we can wait for CM:BS. But I would be sad to not have an official 'Bone' to drool over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim1943 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 And just to be clear, I am by no means complaining - I just enjoy this yearly tradition and look forward to getting a peak at whats instore for the coming year! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Just so Chris knows, I just got a very nice used copy of Hell in Hurtgen Forest: The Ordeal and Triumph of an American Infantry Regiment. by Robert Sterling Rush....yeah I'm ready for the Bulge game or whatever you wanna call it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 MikeyD, I most definitely noticed the "only one person has to have the module" feature. Great for us, but on the face of it, doesn't seem all that great from a business standpoint. Contrariwise, people will soon discover not everyone has all the toys, which should spur sales to gain such a desirable situation. I like the idea of master installers very much, though I must admit that aside from the License Key problem from CW (used the old system, and despite having the License Key, I couldn't activate it), which was resolved by the HelpDesk with alacrity, I had no problems putting in the 3.0 upgrade and the latest patch in CMBN. For those farther behind on the installation power curve, it would be a huge benefit. Always keeping the base game up to snuff is simply wonderful, since it saves work and makes it easier to get into the game. No more doing things one way in the first version, another way in the second, and yet another in the third. Can get quite confusing, what with gaming habits learned in one either not working the same or at all as in the preceding game version. For instance, I found going from 1.11 to 2.2 took quite a bit of unlearning. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Actually the bone was going to be an announcement of a game about the US invading North Korea but they decided not to do so at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim1943 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks for the heads up Chris, don't think I would have noticed that otherwise. BS and Ardennes next year - so much CM goodness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
