DEF BUNGIS Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 YO, YO, YO, from us not so cream of the crop! CM is the most whack game I ever played! I'm alway's trippin on it! Hope the future holds the same! ------------------ Better to make the wrong decision than be the sorry son of a bitch to scared to make one at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 First, congradulations BTS! Second, Thomas Norton I admire you are having friends and collegues who can discuss CM with ya. Mine like to talk about Virtua Tennis or Diablo II, but by god, I have PBEM opponents who are always listening. Third, BTS, did you mark changes (like 2nd edition or 2nd priting, etc) to the manual. I think I am trying to rip another (3rd) order from your upcoming inventory. Anyway, the 1st order still has not arrived in HKG yet. Griffin @ work. ------------------ "+" is just the beginning. Expect to see "GriffinCheng76", "GriffinCheng(105)" or "GriffinChengA3E8" more should Forum problems occur again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelU Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 Hell, one of my friends just told me he isn't going to buy the game because it "looks too addictive." Or maybe it's because I whipped his butt over the weekend. Plus I had to force another of my friends off my computer so I could do my PBEM turns. He was locked in mortal combat around Arnhem and didn't want to move. BTS, this game sells itself. Your hot sales are just reward for all the effort. As for the other sycophants on this thread, they're just trying to stroke your egos so you'll hurry up with CM2. Me, I have no ulterior motive. P.S. Please don't sell out to Microsoft.

howardb Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 Brilliant news I must say. I wonder what the future holds for this now guaranteed series of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disaster Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 Congratulations guys. You give small developers hope in the face of the corporate trend. I hope to do something like this in the future and your success is providing a lot of good lessons! Your game fits a niche and it's damn fun. Your editor is so easy and provides excellent replay value. Pat on the back all around guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterNZer Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 Congrats! And I have to say you two are just a great bunch of guys. Was very pleased with the after-sales service or pre-sales, or whatever it was fiddling around with my credit card service So when are you going to update the web page hehe? Anyway. I -do- hope you're driving around in Ferraris! I seriously hope you're both finding yourself with a pile of money to wade through, I hope it clogs up your drains and fills your bath tubs. I hope you find it's much more than you could earn in the private sector, and I hope your wives suddenly start giving you 'bedroom eyes' again hehe (I hope you have the energy to comply) I hope you keep going!

Guest Rommel22 Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 Good work!!! My co-workers, well some are one of those Diablo freaks. Geeze, all they talk about oh my guys is level 150. And I say yeah and I just kick the crap out of the Amis at Arnhem. They go what the hell is that. I just start going off what a bunch of idiots they are for not knowing what Arnhem is and that they don't have CM yet. the only co-worker that bought the game works only once a day when I am there and he doesn't talk to much. Good game, very good. Can't wait For CM2 Barbarosa.

KNIL Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 Just another attorney checkin' in saying that I also play CM... Perhaps the fact that a lot of history majors go on to law school has something to do with CM's popularity amongst the legally minded. Dunno for sure (I love history but didn't major in it).

Culex Pipiens Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 i am very happy for yours sales (I bought and received four copies of the GAME) my only fear that this game went so well that BTS will be seduced from a big company to develop these products, or will be less customer/player oriented (the best thing of BTS after the game) this is only a bad thought or not ?

An also much congrats an appreciation to the other folks involved also i.e... the scenario designers, artists, beta testers...sthuper! I know at least 1 person who will get the game fo sure.

deanco Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 Hmmm...this success story kinda reminds me of another company who put out a game called Doom in sorta the same manner. Both had a groundbreaking, kickass game and both bypassed the 'majors' when it came time to put it out. Y'all deserve every last bit of the success to come. Congrats!

John Rainey Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 The big publishers will NOT notice because CM does not fit with their way of thinking. It must there fore be a one time fluke. 'Now back to releasing crap with our current production methods.' The people I hope and pray notice are other talented and creative people like Steve and Charles. I hope they notice and start making plans for new companies and new products that use the same 'high quality at release time' stantards and customer friendly attitude that BTS and the other Battlefront companies use. This is how all of us in the buying public will win. Good job on CMBO and more in the future guys. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John Essayon's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
