Stacheldraht Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 On p. 71 of the 7/2001 issue (North American edition) of Computer Gaming World magazine, there's an article on CM 2 with screenshots. (It's not clear if one with a T-34 is a heavily modded CM 1 shot or not, but it looks new. Other pics are of CM1 mods.) Very cool. Apologies if this has been posted before.

Maxx Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 *ahem* Hi Stacheldraht, how are you? Good, good. I think I can speak for most of the forum when I ask if you might scan and post those screenshots here? Is this possible to do for us? We would just love to see them. Thanks a lot and take care now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 I did an online search for "Computer Gaming World magazine" but it sent me to gamespot. Anyone know if this has an online version of the mag? Damn, I guess I am going to have to spend 8 bucks at the grocery store tonight. Incidentally, Computer Games Online doesn't have anything yet. If you can't post shots, tell us what the article says! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAK Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 I'll through in a Jgdpz 38 and 100 gallons if you post that article, k? Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 Computer Gaming World The website is usually one month behind the print edition, otherwise no one would ever buy the magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Mayer Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 Computer Games Magazine, July issue, has a preview as well, with screens too. Just to be fair . BTW, scanning and posting is a gross violation of copyrights. It would most likely get deleted by the sysops here, one step ahead of the calls from the lawyers. This is too high a profile site, and too high a profile game, for a mag to ignore copyright infringements. Yes, I work for Computer Games Mag .

Panzer Leader Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 Okay okay, thanks Robert Mayer for keeping us in line. When does your mag hit the stands? I guess I am going to have to buy one of these things so I might as well get the best. The battle of the Gaming Mags! So, could someone delicately state a general overview of what to expect in each of these articles, number of pictures, sizes, and number of pages of text. Delicately, now...

JMcGuire Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 So if we can't get the magazine, and we obviously can't ask/expect somebody to scan the article, can we at least get BTS to post the same screen shots here for us to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 Just some FYI here about the screenshots... CGW - pics of T-34 are actually from within the game. No modifications done to the shots. The interface was not ready at the time, so there isn't anything to see there. CGM/CGO - same as above in terms of content, except there are full shots of the new interface. Minor modifications done to clean up rough edges, but otherwise the new interface has been complete for over a month now. We will talk more about the interface when the CGM/CGO article hits. Busy putting in vehicles, TO&E, and Rarity at the moment... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 We will post the screenshots in a little bit, after they have some time to sink into the mags' readership. The good folks at CGW and CGM/CGO were kind enough to do stories on CM2 so it would be nice to let them have a little time in the spotlight before we post our own stuff Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 Thanks Big Time! Gosh, its like you guys really are working on it after all! It wasn't just a dream! I will go out and shell out my 8 bucks for the CGW magazine. A few weeks ago I signed up for a free issue to the other one. Hopefully my free issue will be the one I want.

WWB Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 Stacheldraht, do you work for CGW. You do realize you just sold an extra 1000 copies? They owe you a thanks at the very least, if not a commission. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaSCa Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 If the magazine is not plastic-wrapped someone could theoretically, perhaps, sort of just read the good bits in the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Commissar Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Thats what I do with every mag I dont subscribe to/has only one article Im really interested in. No way will I throw away 4-5 bucks for a paragraph and a few undeveloped screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I'm sure that the fine folks at CGW (or whomever) are on to this clever ploy and have taken appropriate counter-measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 I thought maybe he was in Canada or something, but his profile indicates he isn't. I don't recall CGW costing $8. Are you sure you aren't sneaking a Penthouse in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaSCa Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Doh! Now all my secrets are out! Actually, I'd probably pay 8 bucks for CGW before I would for Penthouse. Which, come to think of it, may be a little bit sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissar Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 I carry a pocket knife to my neighborhood Walden's store in order to deal with the reinforced super-plastic magazines foolishly attempt to use to stop me from wasting my money.

Panzer Leader Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Seems to me that those gaming mags, especially the ones with the CD are about double the price of other mags. Isn't it like $7.99 or so? I went to the store but the June issue isn't in yet. Damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacheldraht Posted May 30, 2001 Author Share Posted May 30, 2001 CGW is normally sealed because of the inclusion of a demo disc. Make of that what you will And no, I'm not going to scan and post someone's copyrighted pictures. There's only one new pic anyway. The article is a little more informative, though: BTS is, it says, "creating new building architecture" for urban battles (yea!) and "reconstructing part of Stalingrad's sewer system to depict the underground fighting that took place there." It also mentions revised C&C, unit availability/rarity, and a new minimum resolution of 800x600 (and the dropping of support for Voodoo 1 cards). Just a short one-pager, but still interesting, of course, for us CM nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipanderson Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Hi, I thought I would just add my two pence worth to what others have said. When it comes to the article on CM2 do remember all the CM fans outside North America that have no way of buying the magazine. I would happily pay my £5, $7-$8, for the magazine but have no way of doing so. It would be a shame if loyal fans outside North America were excluded from knowing as much about CM2 as those inside North America. All the best, Kip. PS. I understand the need to allow the magazine's publisher a "first go" but I hope BTS will share all they are willing to say about CM2 with all of us soon.
