Guest Madmatt Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 Top 10 Reasons You Know You Have Been Playing Too Much CM Demo: 10). You have started to forget how many sides a 'HEX' has. 9). You find yourself constantly squinting at the Horizon to see if you have a valid Line of Sight. 8). You have discovered a new appreciation for the American M-18 Tank Destroyer. 7). When walking down a hallway you can't help but wonder if somebody has placed an Ambush Marker out in front of you. 6). You keep wanting to change the Camera Angle while your working in Microsoft Word. 5). You find yourself constantly arguing over Order of Battle Drop Down Menus. Couldn't resist 4). You keep trying to replay the last minute of your life from different view points. 3). When sending E-mail at work you are surprised when there isn't a reply from FIONN. 2). You can't figure out why there isn't a Blue Line extending out from the front your car when driving to work.

109 Gustav Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 Yup, the good old beta demo was the best. Remember the agony of losing the 88s on R...nospoiler... when they fired too soon, because the code for ambushing hadn't been perfected? And watching your tiger take hit after hit from those M18s, sighing each time the shell broke up? I think I liked this board better before the full version or the gold demo had been released. Everyone on the board was a grognard, and every topic turned into a discussion of muzzle velocities and trajectories. AFAIK, I was the last person on this board to have the beta demo but not the full version. Got it now though, but I'll still play the beta, just for the nostaligia. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

Juardis Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 11. You capture some screen shots of your latest moves, print them out, then take them to the crapper to study awhile before making your next move.

buckshyesh Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 I looked out the window of my office the other day and saw a couple guys walking across the parking lot. And I wondered if they were going to make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj. Bosco Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 11. When you wonder who did the textures for the trees and sky outside your house and wish they'd send them to Madmatt. 12. When you see little "Knocked-Out" labels floating above the cars at the local garage. 13. When you wonder how many shots from a M7B1 Priest to knock down those annoying toll booths. 14. When you refer to getting your walls re-wallpapered as getting new textures for your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wwb_99 Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 17) You think your driveway would make a great anti-tank ambush give a couple of 'faust teams and a LMG 42. 18) You threw out your back through repetitive motion. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 When you analyze the road to your house, plotting the best way to defend it from an invading armored patrol. I have the fields of fire for the 57mm AT gun and pair of zooks all set up. Given these and a platoon of infantry, I could hold off an army. Of course, I'm going to set up in the map editor. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.
