Sequoia Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hello, I'm assuming the decision to move the timeline forward was made by the Cold War Family developers, from whom the game is a passion project, and not by the Battlefront owners. The game wouldn't exist without these guys, so I trust and support their decision, though I was looking forward to playing with the Bundeswehr sooner rather than later. All things come to those who wait, but I'm hoping to coax some behind the scenes decision making as to why this path was chosen. In board wargaming 1985 seems to be a prominent year for the balloon to go up, possibly influenced by the John Hackett book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Capt Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Wait one, there appears to have been a slight miscommunication. We are engaging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDECC Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I wasn't sure if Steve's comment meant that the games timeline would increase beyond 82' or if he simply meant that work/release of new module had been moved up. I am okay with either! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned in the 2022 Preview thread but to the people that want to play 1989. Just play Black Sea or SF2 if you want to sit an Abrams on a hill and blast everything before it can get a spot.

The_Capt Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Ok guys we have been green lit to make a formal announcement on this shortly. Until then let’s just clear up a bit of confusion with respect to timeframes - we are going backwards not forwards.

Dr.Fusselpulli Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Are we going unthinkable backwards? I don't really think this will happen, but great choice, looking forward to it.

Think Bee Gees at their disco apex, Beatles had already broken up and formed whatever the gawd awful stuff they did later was....Wings?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 Wasn't Bee Gees at their apex 1979 which we have already? Perhaps you mean Elton John at his apex. I'm guessing it means Sheridans and M114s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 Yeah, I ignored that movie. Probably because I saw Star Wars 3 times, and a Bridge Too Far twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want to shoot them (Abrams) with T-80U and T-64/72/80 B's with Kontakt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Fusselpulli Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 That mistake has been corrected by now. The timeframe of CMCW doesn't move forward, but backwards into the 70s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
