Titan Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Been reading a few post's around here,and i noticed someone gloating about how they kicked Fionn's backside So i was just wondering who rates themselves out of 10 ------------------ "Some people don't see the light until they first feel the heat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 haha tricky one There's two answers to this one. Generally the answer would be low on the order of 2 to 3 out of 10 rate themselves. However, in a closed envirionment like this especially, when queried this number rises significantly to proportion reaching 5 and 6 of 10 would rate themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiloIndiaAlpha Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Personally I rate myself out of 15, but my score out of 15 would normalise to the equivalent score if I chose to rate myself out of 10, or indeed any other number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Umm, that would have been me but to be honest out of 10 I would rate myself at about a 7. I tend to get far too impatient and near the end of battles (with the AI) I get lazy and just start slopping my units around as I don't usually have the time to commit to game (when played for enjoyment) that I would like. Think of it this way. Either I could spend hours assimulating every little peice of feedback in a turn and practicing tactics or I could answer my email, post updates to CMHQ and CMHQ-Annex run the WebRing , hang out here and be a general nuisance and continue my work with helping BTS to make Combat Mission the very best game it can be. To me the choice is easy, I will stay a 7 for the time being. But even a 7 can beat a 9 (Which is how I would rate Fionn) on a good day! Madmatt The sentiments above are completely my own but given the correct amount of persuasion and influence you will also agree... eventually! ------------------ If it's in Combat Mission, it's on Combat Mission HQ! And if it's NOT on CMHQ then its just GOT to be on CMHQ-ANNEX...

Guest KwazyDog Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Hehe, well the way Matt and I are kicking each others butt at the moment I guess that makes me about a 7 too, so far weve hurt each other pretty evenly (damn tin can shermans!).... Hehe, dont go getting lazy on me there though matt, I couldnt resist the opportunity to take out a stug or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Hmmm, using madmatt as base of 7 I'd have to say 6-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Yes, this is a bloodbath of unprecendented scale and to think, this only the FIRST battle of six Dan!!! You know Dan, we may have to write up our battle as an AAR although it would be VERY high on Spoiler Content! That last turn was certainly a classic. I have never SO MANY vehicles take SO MANY hits before. I have certainly grown a new found respect for those Panzer Mk IV's!!! And of course your awesome textures don't hurt the eyes either! Madmatt I still cringe when I think about how you spoiled my flank sneak assault... All those men struck down in their prime! Bastard! ------------------ If it's in Combat Mission, it's on Combat Mission HQ! And if it's NOT on CMHQ then its just GOT to be on CMHQ-ANNEX...

Knaust Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 A scale of 1000 would be more accurate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KwazyDog Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Well if we posted suitable spoiler warning I dont think people could complain, its such a hell of a battle, hehe Indeed it is a rough battle, and as you say only the first. That last turn was a classic, I think a total of what, 5 tanks and maybe 2 HT's were knocked out along with two buildings, hehe The old Mk IV's are definately a good workhorse, they have served you well thus far, though I think I am at last starting to get a bit of my own back on your armour matt. Hehe, that last one you lost I had to beat into submission with 3 x 37mm armed vehicles I was lucky though, as you say, Im glad I took out their commander. And as for the guys in the forest, you know its funny but I actually felt sorry for them, even though they are pixels. They were well armed and from what I can see pretty well trained, and they barely got a kill. Can you imagine how many times an ambush was played out almost excatly the same as that in real life? Many Id say.... Matt I sent a turn off about, ermm 8 hrs ago now, so if you didnt get it, let me know mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakko Ichiu Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 On a scale of 9 to 27 with a 4 being the highest, I rate myself about fish. ------------------ Ethan ----------- Das also war des Pudels Kern! -- Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captitalistdoginchina Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Well Guys, All your scores are hypothetical at this stage.....Me? Well i have now played 12 games of CM against the AI, some as allies and some as Axis with full FOW except 1 with partial FOW (I wanted to try it). I have won all 12 so far quite convincingly and i am now attampting my first game of PBEM......and my first sample of a formidable opponent. So my score so far is 100% = 10 I fear that may change soon!!!!! CDIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertanker Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 I haven't had the time yet to carry out a PBEM game, but despite the better AI of CM, I presume the difference between the AI and a human remains the same across most games. If you think you are a hot sim pilot because you dominate the AI, go online and prepare to spend a great deal of time looking up at the silk. Similarly, I used to think I was a good FPS player, but it took me a while to become a decent Counter-Strike player (and now I can swat most bots with ease). I used to play a lot of Close Combat 1 online, and that was also a far cry from the AI campaign (remember having one StuG that had over 400 infantry kills). Against AI, including CM, I expect to win. Against humans, I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiloIndiaAlpha Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Someone please answer the original question. Do you rate yourself out of 10? (Don't you Yanks speak or understand English?)

Guest Madmatt Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Wow, sounds like somebody needs a NAP! I think I DID answer the question already! What the question is really requireing is a Yes/No answer, if we are being literal about it. But since I am a cognizent creature that can extropolate intent from the written word I beleive he was asking WHAT do we rate ourselves out of a 1-10 scale with 10 being the highest.

Guest Ol' Blood & Guts Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Well, being the sycophant I am, and the self-righteous dude that I am, and the Genius that I am, on a scale of 1-10, I rate myself a 50!!! As so you probably would've figured. But I am glad that BTS included a scenario such as Valley of trouble to teach us the effective use of artillery and smoke screens. I find it useful to lay out a smoke screen first with 81mm mortars (1 minute delay) and then to follow it up with a HE barrage of 105mm Arty the next turn.

TZEENCH Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 I think my score would be around X =(yourscore/howbad you whoop my ass) so most of the time ive got a 0.92 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted May 20, 2000 Share Posted May 20, 2000 And I thought this was some kind of physcological test to see who rates themselves in the first place. Notice Titan didn't give a rating of himself which would have indicated he was seeking others ratings. I think he's fishing, looking to see if anyone is overly full of themselves and ripe for slaughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Morgue Posted May 20, 2000 Share Posted May 20, 2000 i know in CM , even if You rate Yourself high a little misstake or a little bad luck , and suddenly you find yourself being pushed off of the battlefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
