Cybeq Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Pardon me if this has been debated before but I'm a lazy sluggard and didn't bother to do a search. Given that CMBB will rock and CMBO has been frozen in an unperfected state why play CMBO after the release of CMBB? Speaking for myself, I'll probably uninstall CMBO once I get CMBB. Anyone else?

Vergeltungswaffe Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Obsolete? Yes Uninstall? Not until the western front is revisted with the new engine, somewhere down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priest Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Interesting! I look back 6 months ago and while problems with CMBO had been indentified I have never heard it called flawed. Hmmm. Funny how times change. Now I doubt CMBB will make CMBO "obsolete". CMBB will have features that CMBO does not have but that is progression at work. CMBO was a great game (the best tactical WWII simulator) ever made to this point IMHO. CMBB only has the capability to change that standing to the following (the best tactical WWII ETO simulator). CMMB may simulate the Tiger better but it will be horrible at simulating the M26 Pershing or the 45 US Airborne troops, actually it cannot, just like CMBO cannot sim a T-34. The changes in the game are transparent to me what matters is the time they represent and the theatre. I prefer the ETO over the Eastern Front so many hours will still be dedicated to CMBO but I will play CMBB for no other reason than I am attracted to large armor battles.

MikeyD Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Hope I don't annoy people comparing CM to Tombraider, but did Tombraider IV make Tombraider III obsolete? I suspect CMBB will take a bit of the luster off of CMBO but certainly NOT to the extent CMBO made that unamed Microsoft game obsolete. And a newbe will get just as much of a thrill from CMBO as we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunny_ Bunny Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 No CMBB will not make CMBO obsolete. Go look at the pics at CM-HQ the only difference is the Russians are fighting. Everything seems to CMBO. Don't expect much from CM2 Regards GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gameplay will not varry too much, of course, but CMBB will definately improve on CMBO (not that the newbie will know it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screenshots that have been published are of, esentially, a pre-beta and shouldn't be used to base your opinions of the final product on. Speaking for myself, even if the graphics are no better, I will still be more than interested in the Eastern Front to pick up a copy as soon as it's available.

Madmatt Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 You know Gunny, I am have been watching you over the last few weeks post TOTAL CRAP here on the forums. You don't know what the hell you are talking about, your questions in multiple posts are meant only to cause dissension and I don't want to exert the time to baby-sit everything you post. So guess what? That's right, your gone! Bye bye, farewell, take care, be well and don't come back. You are also in violation of our policy about having multiple accounts as both current Gunny_Bunny personas are in fact coming from the same IP range and ISP and physical location. Your posting privileges are being revoked, and your IP banned.

109 Gustav Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Thanks, Matt. Returning to the original topic, gameplay is what defines a game, not the quality of the graphics, the date the game was released, or the accuracy of the game. Look at a chessboard sometime. The graphics haven't been updated for a thousand or so years, the units aren't historically accurate, there's no random QB generator, the Autosave feature fails every time the cat or litte brother knocks over the board, and every battle starts exactly the same way. Yet is chess obsolete or outdated? [ 09-27-2001: Message edited by: 109 Gustav ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnyBunnyluvsMaddMatt Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Originally posted by Madmatt: Fach diatribe deleted... One man's crap is another wabbit's truth. The truth is that CM2 and CM1 are virtually the same except for the Eastern Front motiff. No MaddMatt I am not gone, only forced to use another handle. IPs are a dime a dozen you know. So I and probably you are here to stay. My posting priviledges have been reinstated by myself for all time. Yes please contact my ISP and perhaps the Americano anti-terrorist squad as well. I have not broken any rules and using a proxy is not against Internet law, pls look up the law before you make such outrageous accusations. But getting back to CM2 and the graphics pictures you have on your website. a) Those pictures appear to be identical in quality to CM1. You state they I am way off base. Well, I defy anyone to go and look at them at CMHQ and tell us they are of better quality. 2) I saw a picture of you on your website, if a picture says a thousand words, here are a select few: - Fat A$$ - Skin Head - Very Strange Person - Diaper diver Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing CM1 from time to time, but there is certainly allot of room for improvement. It is to bad that you do not allow constructive critcism at this censored club. The webboard is owned by BTS, yet it is of course impartial. Yes, I have forgotten that.

The Commissar Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Listen **** face, Im not about to have Madmatt and the rest of BTS wasting their time on **** like yourself. How bout you piss off? No one likes you, listens to you, or shares your opinion. Clearly you have nothing whatsoever to do on this board, since CMBO is obvious crap and CMBB is more of the same. Leave, child, and bugger someone else's board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 It's very simple actually. As of this moment I will not response to anything that this bunny guy says or does. He doesn't exit. So bye bye bunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen-x87H Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Now why in the hell would it make CMBO obsolete? If CMBB was a remake of the western front it could be considered obsolete. But they are different fronts. Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
