Colin Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 Heard about it last August while looking for Close Combat 2 user scenarios. Been hooked ever since. ------------------ And if we abandon any platform, I can assure you it will not be the Macintosh. -Steve My website!

OberGrupenStompinFeuhrer! Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 I used to visit the Sudden Strike board, thinking that was a neat game and playing the demo. One of the posters there posted a snide comment about CM being a "Sudden Strike wannabe". I came to check it out, hooked (of course) and haven't looked back since.

Stuka Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 Was browsing through Cnet downloads one fine day (as you do) and saw this demo with 5 stars or some such. The rest is history. By the way I got my copy of the game today. I waited at the P.O. at 6am this morning for the earliest possible delivery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsinO Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 When I first saw the screenshots for this game (when the demo came out) I was like "UGHHH" I thought it was sooo ugly. But a few weeks later (just recently) I was reading at a forum (not this one, cant remember which) and there was soooooo many good posts about this one game. EVERYONE was praising it. So I clicked on the link and low and behold it was that same game. So i decided to download it. Well the rest is history....I fell in love. EVEN though I have always disliked war games. Strange thing is, before I played the game I thought the graphics sucked. Now that I have played it I think there amazing I guess im too used to First Person Shooter graphics.

IDF Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 Sudden Strike forum. I read a post by 'Patton' who had just bought this game he said it was good. But he also said he wanted to finsh CM in time for the release of Sudden Strike so he could focus on SS????? I now think he's mad. I also havn't been back to that forum since dicovering this game!!!

Owl Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 I first heard snippets about the game, several months back, in a column in Computer Gaming World. It sounded intriguing then, but very little info on it. Then a couple of weeks ago, I saw the review on Games Domain. It really sparked my interest. Downloaded the demo... and the rest is history. Now, all I'm waiting for is CM to arrive in my mailbox. Like everyone else, waiting is definitely the hardest part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZJCA Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 I heard about it off and on for about a year on the TacOps e-mail group. When it finally was released, I immediately bought it THEN d/l the demo. (What's wrong with that picture? <g>). Anyhow, It rocks! Just waiting for v.1.0.whatever. Thouroughly enjoying it so far. Can't wait for continued improvements.

Abrams Wannabe Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 OberGrupenStompinFeuhrer wouldn't leave me alone until I played it. "C'mon it's really super" How right he was! Thanks Kev! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notnowjohn Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 I was playing some Iron Butterfly backwards one night while ingesting several unknown foreign substances and I kept hearing "Go to battlefront.com, go to battlefront.com" in between the grooves of the vinyl. Oh yeah, the walls were melting or something like that... Thank you for your patience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strat Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 I visited the Battlefront site a few years ago after finding a link to it while searching for 3D subject matter on the web. I took a look at the screen shots and shrugged it off and said, "Nah". It was forgotten. Then about six months ago someone posted on a discussion board, some enthusiastic comments about a very impressive new WWII 3D wargame. I clicked on the link, supplied by the poster, and loaded up the Battlefront website page. I thought, "This looks familiar". For some reason I decided to download the demo and got hooked. Its a great game. Strat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMC Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 Found it while looking for Squad Leader stuff on the net. The was a reference to "Computer Squad Leader" and it was "Holy ****, Batman!" That was back in June 98. The following month is when AH was gobbled up by Hasbro and CSL became rechristened CM. I remember some folks bitching about the name but not in a long, long time...... EZJCA: Member is someone tha has made a certain number of posts (30? 50?) IIRC = If I Recall (remember) Correctly VoT = Valley of Trouble scenario in the Gold Demo No idea what TIA is...
