Guest KwazyDog Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Hehe, well I guess all I can tell you compassion that wouldnt be considered bias would be that I played the scenario Valley of Trouble which is one included in the gold demo last night for the third and I was up to 4:30 finishing it off Its a great scenario and it really is a good example of CM's 3D engine as its a battle in a hilly area. I think you guys should enjoy it a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Germanboy Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Hehe, just wasted the AI in 18 turns 84-16 as US in CE. This looks and plays really great. Much improved AI, higher immersion, I'd give it 15 out of a possible ten What a way to start the day - get up at 8.47 to find out that the demo was posted at 8.27 local UK - sometimes it is good to live in Europe... ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Seimerst Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Of course it is worth the wait-- even at 56K. Truly stupendous accomplishment. I will most likely have my wife on a slow burn while I miss supper and play until the alarm goes off. You guys are going to like the interface-- much is the same but so much is new. This game will slow this board to a complete stop while we all play until the retail shows up on our doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike D Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 I just got done downloading here at work. Took exactly 6 minutes. Need to get it on the ZIP disk now. Unfortunately, probably will have to sit here for eight hours until I can go home now. Can you say SucksVille? Maybe I'll sneak out early. So how many scenarios are there in the demo? Sounds like CE is back for comparison to the beta and a new operation? Valley of Trouble??? Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Madmatt Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Boris, You need to add some SPOILER TEXT to your post up above or at least remove the reference to WHAT is in Valley of Trouble. I for one had not finished playing the new scenario against Fionn and you just gave me (and anyone else who is playing) more info than they should have!!!! Please people, be considerate and DONT DIVULGE INFO about the new sceanrio, or if you do then insert SPOILER BREAKS in your messages. Everyone should get the oppertunity to enjoy this gem without knowing too much about it... Madmatt... ------------------ If it's in Combat Mission, it's on Combat Mission HQ!

Fionn Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Jesus Christ Boris. I've been saving that godamn BLEEP for the past 8 turns so as to snooker Matt into my ambush and hit him with a combined BLEEP. Thanks for spoiling it and gifting him the game. [This message has been edited by Fionn (edited 05-10-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEzra Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 30 megs is a drop in the bucket...6 minutes was about right. BTS you've done a great job I've looked at the CE....Valley I'm playing US x 3 PBEM's...thank God for a new scen. Graphics, colors are great. I really like the sounds....birds singing!!. Different color hair on the Germans is a nice touch. I'm sure there's lots more to discover. Wanted to express my thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Boris, Could you go ahead and remove that reference and Fionn you too. Just cause our game is ruined (well not really, I am still going wipe the floor with Fionns wussy ass!) doesn't mean we need to spoil it for others!

Fionn Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Hey WussyBoy.. Yeah you Matt. Where's that turn file? Come on.. It's only an ambush. Your men are dead. Accept it and send me the turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Test for new (Scott and Lewis-inspired) sig. Test. [This message has been edited by Fionn (edited 05-10-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Test ------------------ --------- Ask me politely and you'll get a complete and polite response. Act like a bastard and I'll ignore you forever. Your choice, just don't bitch about me ignoring you if you act like a spoiled asshole sometime. This sig is so NO-ONE can say they haven't been warned about my stance on this subject.

Guest Madmatt Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 Fionn, please chill and realize that I AM FREAKING STILL AT WORK!!!! You'll get your damn turn later on! A). You SEVERLY overestimated your so called 'ambush' which by the way, wasn't any sort of surprise and next turn when the rest of my arty (I GOTS TONS OF IT BABY) comes screaming down on your poor GREEN troops you will have no one to run too but your MOMMA, and she aint home! I already took CMHQ away from you, now I will take your crown as the CM Ambush King... Silly Human... Madmatt ------------------ If it's in Combat Mission, it's on Combat Mission HQ!
