sniperscope Posted January 19, 2000 Share Posted January 19, 2000 For the most part I just stay in the background and enjoy all the posts from this great group. I too have placed an order and I an very angry if the "BAD NEWS" is true. Steve & C0. Please, when you can give us an update on your findings. Thank you Sniperscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Hey von shrad! Maybe you should start up the van again. I think we need to take another trip.

sbg2112 Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 To me, CM is one of those things that I can't wait to pay for. CM is both brilliant and revolutionary and will have tremendous replay value -- so much sothat I can't see ever buying another game in any genre, except CM2, CM3, etc. So it's worth every penny to me, and I suspect most of us feel the same way. Of course BTS should pursue this, but I hope they won't let this distract them too much... So, BTS, can I please pay for it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von shrad Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 *unbolting license plates* Im on my way. But first I need to stop by Kwiki-Mart to fill up on squishies and microwave burritos. I fear the old van is going to log on many miles before this game comes out. Nothing worse on re-sale than excessive miles and blood stains.

Lee Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Yes, CM is truly fantastic. In fact, as far as wargames covering this scale and subject, I don't intend to buy *anything* but future versions of CM. Why bother? They will almost certainly be inferior in one or more important areas in comparison to CM. Why would I want something inferior when I can have the best? I can't think of a good reason, either.

MarkEzra Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 When the beta demo came out I packed up my 486 PC and found a 500Mgz P3. Last week I got internet cable installed. $45.00? Not the price a a meal for two at an average resturant. Now to find that some perfect **** is messing with this game! Damn them to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Captain Foobar Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 OK, here lies exposed the conspiracy theorist in me... Isn't it a little odd that within @ 24 hrs of a Fake Big_Time_Software prank on this forum, we hear news that there is a possible hacked copy in circulation? There's a traitor in our midst... CONFESS AND GIVES NAMES!!!! (Foobar scrambling for twigs and kindling....) ------------------ "when in doubt, run in circles" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWIIRulz Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 ohhh wow, I never thought of that, BTS can you figure out who the person who imitated Steve is? Maybe thats him! It is kind of ironic that someone makes up a name just to play a prank and then a few days later someone finds out that the game "maybe" hacked. You guys should check into this person. ------------------ Come see my CM page!! www.hometown.aol.com/lucky8202/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_PanzerLeader Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 hmmmnnnnnnn that does seem awful strange that someone that pulled that prank never owned up - and got banned from here so maybe he holds a grudge.

Guest Stabsfeldwebel Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Makes me sick to hear this kind of news, hackers stealing games are just thiefs who think they are special. Was this done threw your server, mainframe? or was it from a beta tester? Hopefully you guys included a serial number in each beta game you gave out so you can track down whomever did this and let the marshal service do the rest. If any of you beta testers made copies of your games, you should be ashamed of yourselfs, shows what a ingrateful bastard you really are. Steve pls share any info you guys get on this. I for one will be buying it nomatter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamo Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 At the risk of sounding the Heretic, I must confess I am a little perturbed by the self-rightious indignation many of you are posting. Come on, listen to yourselves! There is not one of you who wouldn't LOVE to get your hands on a bootleged pre-release of this game. Myself included. I am not endorsing piracy, nor trying to promote or encourage it. I have never downloaded WAREZ and am really not too sure of how to do it. But I can tell you honestly, that if I happened to find a link, I'd download it. And so would all of you! My respect and admiration for the guys at BTS would nonetheless STILL get me to buy the final version and I would hope that every mothers son on the this board would do the same. For months now you guys have been asking for a "Gold" demo. Don't tell me you wouldn't like to peek at what's been going on. You'd be lying. And no, I do not have it, nor am I likely to find it, but I AM going to search for it...As I suspect many of you already have.

SS_PanzerLeader Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Sorry to burst your bubble here Zamo but your statement is a rediculous one. How can you profess to know how each of us feel about this situation? My position regarding BTs is clear, without them telling me I could download it - I wouldnt. As I said in my other thread these guys have been very kool, I think it would upset them to know we were dling it, so I simply wouldnt be a part of it. So put a little thoguht behind it before you call everyone a liar I dont profess to be self-ritcheous either I treat others as they treat me- BTS has treated me well I feel so why should I do anything other than that to them, in the same token that you summed us all up as being liars about wanting a bootleg version , I could inturn sum up all of those that downloaded a bootleg beta, as people that wouldnt buy it, both statements are rediculous. It's not a matter of whether they would or not IMHO, its a matter of the question would be in the back of Steve and Charles mind, as to how many sales they had lost over this BS. not trying to offend ya but some clarity was needed i think ------------------ SS_PanzerLeader....out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Capt_Manieri Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 At the risk of being disliked and annoying to a futher extent, I agree with Zamo. I would definetly download the pre-release version, and, I too will also try and find it. Although, I still want the final copy of CM. I'm not a priest. But the again I'm not making deals with the devil here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Damn it Cap'n Im-not-a-man-ieri just shut up! You had that reference to SPR in that other thread when they were talking about Monty Python. It's just getting really annoying. I really loved that crap you wrote in my guestbook on my webpage about my mom. That was really classy. And if I get anymore... Making deals with the devil has nothing to do with someone being stupid and making the full beta demo available. ------------------ Visit my Combat Mission for Mac page!

Guest Scott Clinton Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Theft is theft and lack of morals is lack of morals. I think one might excuse a starving man the theft of a loaf of bread (to use an old cliche). But in today's modern world there is no difference between stealing a stereo, cash or software. And as much as I like BTS's attitude and games (well demo) I think this goes for all software developers equally…yes even Talonsoft and Atomic. But then again I'm a software developer so maybe I'm biased. ------------------ The Grumbling Grognard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
