Colin Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 Interesting. This is quite a large development. I think this deserves another whole thread. Hey why not 2? I'm gonna follow Madmatt's suggestion and start up some threads about questions that have already been answered. ------------------ Visit my webpage! http://cm4mac.tripod.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shriker Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 The people who have speculated that the blurred out sections of the picture is due to some kind of cover up (no pun intended) are completely correct! I have reverse developed the screen shot (found at http://wbr.thegamers.net/articles/cmpics/FF16-tankdeath.jpg ) and it revealed something VERY interesting. I have posted the results online for the world to see. I would have attached them to this post, but I know that it would be erased as soon as the moderator saw it because my efforts have revealed a new military (?) unit in the game that has never been discussed before! Take a look at what I've found. I'll leave it online as long as I can! Hurry! http://post.queensu.ca/~gills/coverup.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KwazyDog Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 Lol, good one Shriker But you have discovered the aweful truth too late. BTS already has your names, addresses and blood type.

Guest Madmatt Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 OH MY GOD! All this time I was working for...for...THEM!!! Like the guy in Battlefield Earth (played by the same actor who did Jackson in SPR btw!) I must throw off the tyranical yoke of oppression that my ALIEN OVERLORDS have burdened me with! These are not the mad rantings of a radical (no, those are my nightly updates) but the sustantiated observations from someone whom these ALIEN INVADERS once controlled! Proof I say! I have proof... Feast your blinded by deception eyes on this: THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!!!!

Doug Beman Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 It IS a conspiracy; the thing they're covering up is that, underneath the 3D graphics and apparent attention to detail, BTS is using a slightly modified version of the CC1 engine. That's right, folks. You heard it here first! DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newguy Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 First time caller, long time listener! I know that BTS has said that there would not be dead bodies of infantry left on the feild but while looking at the pictures for this AAR I noticed several bodies on the ground. Do they stay for a moment and then disapear? What is the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 Them BTS guys is usin' alien technology to make CM. Then they'll be refinin' it to TAKE OVER THE WORLD ! It's about "precious bodily fluids"... and I will deny them mine.

Newguy Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 If you look at picture FF15-theend.jpg You can see americans lying on their backs with their arms spread out. They are not pinned and look very dead. Was this picture doctored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 Yeah, just to check I just went back and looked at all the pictures that Bill posted and to be honest, due to the heavy ammount of JPEG compression that he used I can't even see PRONE GUYS! Which pictures are you talking about? And like someone else mentioned earlier, that AAR is from a VERY OLD build. I actually asked Bill (prior to that article coming out) to post a warning about the older graphics but I am not sure it made it in. Since he has the new 3D'ish lines but the old fire I would say that those pictures are approximately 2 months old which would coincide with when the fire and smoke and interface changes were annouced. Look at the last picture in his AAR and you will see that some of the uniforms were diffentaly NOT up to the level that my recent POTDs have shown. Bill also like to play with unit at larger scale (well he is old and cant see too well! ) and that has a tendency to screw with the perspectives an doverall look. Thats the main reason why I take my POTD's in the higest resolution possible and with bases off and scale set to realistic. I prefer for the more 'realistic' pictures. Of course my last POTD had a giant 'N' in it but hey, its a feature!

Newguy Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 "And to add to my misery, if you look carefully straight ahead through the mist, you will see the evil Panther, just waiting should I make a break for it. In the far distance my mortars are still pounding those enemy troops I can't get to right now. I hope it is enough. I have my hands more than full right where I am. The End of 3rd Platoon, Able Co. (insert FF15theend.jpg)" This is the picture where it looks to me that their are dead bodies in the AAR. I really am not too worried if dead infantry is shown, but I would swear that these are dead bodies in this picture. Maybe I am mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnh3_cm Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 Omigosh! They've deleted FF15 from the AAR and this thread. What kind of foul conspiracy is being perpetrated upon us! Please keep tabs on Newguy. I'm worried about what They may do to him!

Black Sabot Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 NO! Don't be fooled! There never was a FF15 to begin with, its all part of the conspiracy! Newguy is actually one of them, trying to distract us, while they take control! RUN...RUN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hunt52 Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 I am reminded of a certain feature called, "Nice Smoke and Fire" that was categorically denied too... - Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newguy Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 Well, there are two options for veiwing the AAR. You can veiw it with pictures on the web or you can down load it. If you veiw it on the web that picture is not shown. If you download the AAR you get a .txt file and a group of jpg's in a zip file. The picture is in the zip file when you down load it. Take a look. I find it very interesting and I do belive this may be one of the new suprise features. I could be wrong but down load the AAR from tracks and boots and let me know what you think of FF15-theend.jpg.

Guest morjit Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 He's right there are German and American guys laying all over the place. I don't think we were supposed to see this pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newguy Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 Looks like maybe I was right after all.Sorry BTS if we where not supposed to see this but I had to let others know what I thought I may have found. This was the first time I have posted on this board, but I have been reading it for the past couple of months. This game looks to be the best war game I have ever played. Even the Demo is great!

Eridani Posted April 27, 2000 Share Posted April 27, 2000 I really think that this deserves a new thread, but I will let Steve or someone else important do it... seeing as I'm guessing its not something we're suppossed to know about... -EridanMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnh3_cm Posted April 28, 2000 Share Posted April 28, 2000 Omigish! Now the pictures aren't included in the downloaded AAR! What is going on! I mean, WHAT is going ON! TPFIC ----- (Proud member of Save the Smilies Foundation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newguy Posted April 28, 2000 Share Posted April 28, 2000 You are right. They have removed all pictures from the downloaded version. Very interesting. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut. I may have ruined a suprise that BTS was planning to give us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
