Although to be honest I am somewhat distracted by being a gunner in a Tiger and basing what I do on a translation of the actual WW2 'manual' (which I already had from elsewhere). How could I not love that? Indeed. You convinced me. It's quite a hefty price, but I think this is one of those games that's worth the money.

Totally agree @IanL except that I've already bought the said tank game and it's great if a little quirky. But anyway I have no criticism of CM whatsoever and only await more WW2 content to buy. Hang on, I don't have CMFB yet... More seriously and in line with what you said, I have more CM already than I could hope to get through in a couple of years . And I love it .

Of course they won't save you from a bullet, but they might deflect a fragment, and definitely help against fist-sized rocks falling from the sky after a nearby explosion.

I'm just about finished with Volume 2 of The Oderfront 1945 by Stephan Hamilton. The Germans did pretty good considering the odds. Hopefully there will be quite a few scenarios for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Here's another screenshot that isn't meant to be an Ansel Adams work of art. As I was playing a campaign battle I saw this and thought some of you may get a kick out of it. I imagine a fair amount of players are men of a certain age and feel this guys pain......Although,..he ain't feeling it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) So.....I'm one of those lucky people who immediately pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077 and now I have finally played around with it. On this basis I can only say, "Battlefront.....I don't care how long it takes, please don't release it until it's finished and thoroughly tested, by actual gamers, doing gamer stuff."

BFCElvis Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 One of the cooler things that Ben came up with for the module is a first. We expect to release 5 campaigns with the module. One "typical" Soviet campaign. One "typical" German campaign. The campaign that Ithikial is describing in his thread on this forum. The other 2 were born out of a massive battle. Ben had made a stand alone battle that was a monster. A Night at the Opera was it's title. A huge epic 2 hour battle. Then Ben had a pretty clever idea. Make it a 2 battle campaign. Not just make it a 2 battle campaign but make 2 of them so that it is playable from either the German or the Soviet side. Here's a taste of the map.

danfrodo Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 this is gonna be epic fun. City fighting is so costly in CM but hey guess what it's costly in real life last time I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BletchleyGeek Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Those two battle campaigns sound like an interesting concept.

Sorry, man...PC or console? The way they released it on last-gen consoles under false pretences is close to fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) There is a second map, as well (from the big map, which can be cut down for these things)- that one covers the Reichstag, Adlon Hotel, and a bit further in. There is a typo (Lehrter Station) that won't be in the one everyone plays. Edited December 16, 2020 by benpark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for to play them. .... aaaand out of curiosity, how many scenarios are shipping with Fire and Rubble? Right now there are 24. Pretty big number. We're waiting for a couple of things to be added and there have been threats that once they are there might be another battle or 2. Also, sometimes scenarios get pulled at the last minute for one reason or the other. One of the reasons we don't like to get into that is that it isn't an accurate number until the game ships. It isn't impossible (although it is unlikely) that the module ships with 2 campaigns and not 5. Nothing is chiseled in stone until it is released. Rome to Victory ended up having more scenarios than the original pre-order details said . I think the pre-order announcement said 8 and I think it shipped with 15 (note to self....check to see if the website properly reflects what the module shipped with). That was one of the very few good things about the extraordinarily long time between pre-orders opening and final release. And also, there were a couple of "hey, guys. Is it too late to add another?"

t34577685 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 how many QB maps will be added? because winter,spring included in the DLC,I think there will be different if I set snow in old QB map? like CMFI GL R2v ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t34577685 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I made 7 QB maps in CMRT several years ago. Some come from master map,Some made by myself. Can't wait any longer to see my maps battle in winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornGinger Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Out of curiosity, are there going to be another couple of updates to the other games when this Fire and Rubble is released? I know there were a few updates a couple of months ago and Red Thunder would get those with Fire and Rubble. But that was quite a while ago and maybe Battlefront decided to do some more changes/updates which the other games will get when Fire and Rubble is released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds intense -- like a battle for the Reichstag should be. Can't wait for the massive 2x2 hour assault -- also greatly appreciate having both sides playable.
