John Kettler Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Was highly puzzled earlier today to receive a Priority Mail from BFC, mail wholly unexpected. Turns out it was the physical copy of CMCW on a DVD, when I thought there wasn't going to be one at all. Am unsure whether Pre-Orders were to get one or not, but I do recall there would be, unlike CMBS Pre-Orders, no physical manual. INnany event, what a wonderful treat!

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 So are you actually going to play it now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Lol yeah I got mine too. I was happy and surprised to see that. However I found it ironic the cover was a picture of a m60 smashing through the Berlin wall after I was told "Ain't never gonna happen." I hope this isn't just ironic and maybe an official Berlin map is in the works. People would expect that when looking at the cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 In the editor there is a US infantry Battalion [Berlin]. So they're available for use. There was some consideration, I recall, of importing Berlin maps from CMRT but there's the issue of different building sets being used and CMRT having its own dedicated map stuff like rubbled walls that aren't in CMCW. Also, wouldn't the CMRT Berlin maps be largely of East Berlin? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I have played a pbem using the berlin brigade already, my they smashed all my armor as the soviets. But I gave them a pretty good bloody nose. Post conversion there are a couple of building types that sometimes have extra invisible floors, or roofs that look like an upper floor. It seldomly occurs though... if anything its nearly at the same rate as maps from official releases. The black rubble walls are the most prodominant issue. They are the only part of the maps that dont translate. It is true, the Berlin Wall is found only on the West Berlin map, and then it's barely on the map. It would fit for a QB, but probably not a master map. If there was a tool to shift the items/buildings/topography on map Eastward then it could make sense to use the West Berlin map with an extension added to the West. The amount of effort that went into the Berlin map must have been truly incredible and insane. It would be a total waste to leave it bound specifically to F&R. Most people that dont own F&R probably dont even know it exists, something that would certainly influence their purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm nuking it (slowly).....Post apocalypse, nobody cares where the border was**, it's edible food and potable water they're worried about (& the radiation & the gangs of armed marauders). ** If you have already made an edit of the West Berlin map that features the wall, I'd be very interested to nuke see it.

I was going to, but it would definitely take some work. And then I wouldn't be able to upload it and benefit from the work. It would be all mine :/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I don't think @benpark would mind somebody uploading a nuked variant of his map, for a different game.....Can't imagine @Battlefront.com being too upset about it either, surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, John Kettler We needed to wait until PBEM++ was added. We didn't want to ship something that would be obsolete straight away. I've had the cover art for a while. I love it. And no, it was not part of pre-orders. Anyone who got one ordered a physical copy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 BFCElvis, Much appreciate BFC's diligence on maximizing customer value received and your explanation ref how people got/get the physical game. I think the cover art is cool, bears a foreshadowing message and is atmospheric as all get out! Regards, John. Kettler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Aragorn2002, By a foreshadowing message, I mean the eventual breaking down of the Berlin Wall, though admittedly not directly by a US tank.
