Aside from that, I'd like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sten Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 PraetorianXXI, the reasons behind this has been covered in several other threads. The same issue has been raised about rubble several times. The main reason is that it would be a huge hit polygon-vise. If you do it with sprites you loose the true-3D element. When we all are using Voodoo18 boards it might work.

PraetorianXXI Posted July 17, 2000 Author Share Posted July 17, 2000 How mad would it be, if the little men when walking on the grass or dirt would disturb it and your men could pick it up, like trackers!!! and that when walking throuhg woods the twigs would snap!!! and and and.......your guys could climb trees and stuff.........yeah i know im pushing it......ahh the day will comee when game will be in the infinite stage, im afraid i might be dead by then ------------------ ~Veni Vidi Vici~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisl Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 We used to have a game like this when I was a kid, but we played it outside with sticks and running around the neighborhood through people's backyards. The graphics quality was excellent-- you could see every blade of grass, smell the dirt when someone tackled you and pushed you into it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sten Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Chrisl, I think I played that game as well. But correct me if I'm wrong, didn't that game lack both artillery barrages and tanks?

Freyland Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Boxes for tanks, rocks for artillery. Or was that water balloons? Let me check my bruises.... Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 A PVC pipe attached to a garden hose, sticking out of a back pack became a flamethrower. Odd pieces of wood nailed/taped togther were our rifles. Pine cones were grenades. Old Broom handles were Bazookas. Construction hardhats became our helmets. We even dragged a broken CB radio around to call in arty and airstrikes. Deep in the woods of South Florida, we assaulted 'Tiger' tanks (abandoned junk cars). We defended against waves of fanatical Nazis in out impenetrable bunkers (2 sawhorses, side by side, with plywood nailed on top and sides). We fought hand to hand in the trenches (irrigation ditches). We stormed Omaha beach (6 kids and a half blind black lab crammed inside an old johnboat). We were the Champions of the free world, willing to die for our brothers in arms (as long as he went first), willing to survive on no rations (until the ice cream truck came by), willing to endure hours of non-stop bloody combat (until the Mexican kid showed up with the soccer ball) all for Mom, apple pie, and the freedom to one day play a 1-2 player, turn-based, simultaneous-execution 3D simulation of WWII tactical warfare on a computer!

Thanks King for a good laugh at work. I miss my sweet, little, precious CD of CM at home. So lonely, so innocent. Just waiting for me to go home and slip it into the CD Rom. Please work...hurry up and end. For the love of pete..doesn't my boss know that I have an attack on emplaced German positions to conduct?! The fate of the civilized world hangs in the balance!
