Guest apocalypse66 Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 How long must we suffer? At least give us a countdown or an update on progress on a regular basis. We purchased a product which was to have included multiplayer support (not pbem or hotseat but the real thing) and we have waited a long time here! What is the delay with it at least give us an accurate time frame. Time of us waiting and now losing interest is coming on fast. BTS hurry!

Steve Clark Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 Losing interest because it doesn't have TCP/IP play?? Remember, there is a significant number of CM gamers who have NO interest in TCP/IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juardis Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 I'm obviously not BTS, but I would suggest you not demand anything. According to Los (in a different but related thread), BTS is working on TCP/IP right now. It'll be done when it's done and not before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 And I'm one of them.. TCP/IP? Pffffpt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiram Sedai Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 I prefer to have my opponents kill me slowly. With TCPIP, I would just whimper and die within an hour or so. Oh, and I would never demand anything of BTS because they produce quality products that are relatively bug-free. IMHO of course. ------------------ "If you want battle, come to me!" - Lieutenant Worf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Clark Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 I could really care less about TCP/IP! I know some people are waiting for it, and I know they have thier reasons, but I for one LOVE the PBeM option. I simply do not have the time to sit down and play out a 2 or 3 hour battle (or longer) in one sitting. This game is THE BEST thing I have spent money on in a looooong time. And BTS is probably the best with customer support that I have seen. ["Time of us waiting and now losing interest is coming on fast. BTS hurry!"] I do not feel this way at all, so PLEASE state your personal opinions rather than generalizing that the entire customer group is somehow losing interest. (How would that be possible???) EDIT: By the way Hiram, your post is hilarious! [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 09-29-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtualfreak Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 Remember BTS is not a huge corprate company. Which could be a good thing because they have all the time in the world to make the games the make perfect. I like BTS because they take their time on things to make sure that they are perfect so tcp/ip will be done as soon as it is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperscope Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 Making demands on any company is going to have a very negitive effect. For myself, as much as I want TCP/IP I want it to work bug free. If I have to wait for it so be it. When it arrives I'm sure it will be as good as the rest of CM. sniperscope ------------------ <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>When CM arrived, all other land based war games became crap. sniperscope<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 Please recall that when you purchased CM, you were told that TCP/IP support would be included when it's ready. As BTS has stuck to their end of the bargain (ie, TCP/IP support is not ready, so it is not yet in the game), there's really nothing to complain about, is there? ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

CrapGame Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 This has been discussed several times previously. It will be ready when Steve says it is ready to go and not before. Please lock this up before flames start flying! ------------------ CrapGame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 TCP/IP support is something that takes a LONG time to do and can not be rushed. This is why we released CM without it (and never said it was to be included initially), otherwise NOBODY would be playing Combat Mission AT ALL right now. That was the choice and I can tell you we would be flamed every day for making everybody wait for this one feature The initial post release period took much more of our time than we expected. The 5 patches that were released took top priority. But for weeks now Charles has been doing nothing but programming TCP/IP code. He is making great progress, but it is not nearly done yet. We plan on making a more comprehensive update on the status next week. Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 I will prefer PBEM to TCP/IP, but TCP/IP will be a nice option. But PBEM is fun because you can plan out the moves and let them run through your head (cue deveilish laughter). ------------------ "War is like the cinema.
