Pvt. Ryan Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 Steve, why do you say this is a hoax? I know a five people who work at BTS and they say CM2 is only a month away from going gold. Don't post if you don't know what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 Matt wins the prize You would have been disqualified, but since you were not an employee back when said feature was introduced (heck, you hadn't even made your first post yet probably!) you are allowed to play the game Your prize is a paycheck this month Ryan, don't make me tell Matt to send you an inbox mail bomb Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Madmatt Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 Well, speaking as the one person in all the world that has probably taken more screenshots of Combat Mission than anyone else it was rather obvious. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 Steve, I'd also note that the suspension is fully rendered. The road wheels have inner and outer assemblies. I hope CM2 will have complete suspensions. Some of the heavier tanks are starting to look like hippos in tutus, what with their massive hulls atop spindly running gear.

Guest Rommel22 Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 Next time I will add the shadows there, Damn! Oh yeah and the Flag in the interface next time. More shots from CM2 comming soon, maybe tommorow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun Dog Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 You got me on forst glance. However, on closer inspection, the second tank was exactly the same as the first. Also, the perspective should have changed just a little bit. Make another with the T-34! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in some strange and similar parallel universe Technology is YEARS away from being able to handle the polygon load on the scale necessary for a game like CM. I bet doing the running gear from something like a Panther would more than double the polygons for that one vehicle. Could even tripple it. Rounded surfaces are really bad, especially when they are supposed to have depth and are in quantity. Not to mention all the coding to get the supension to work correctly. The only game that has made attempts at supension systems, that I know of, is Panzer Elite. Personally, I like the look of our system better. And it certainly saves polygons Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Deych Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 I dare anybody to find a running KV-2, let alone 2, in November of 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rommel22 Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 exactly. Well took me about 5 min to do. But I promise to have a better one soon, with some other Ruskie tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 I heard rumour on these KV-2's was that the turrent rotating mechanism was so bad and the turrents so heavy, they could only rotate it on level ground. Wonder if that will get modelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
