heckler_rider Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 If you are like me you played the CMBO demo months before the first pre-orders were shipped. I think I was hoping that if I played CHANCE ENCOUNTER more than 100 times the STUG's would somehow transform into tigers or panthers. While it was not a complete version of the game, when I finally recieved my copy, much of the initial suprise factor was lost (except for the expanded TO&E). Although, most games have a life of about 1-2 months on my PC, CMBO has been there for almost a year. Therefore I vow not to play (or even download)the CM II demo (if there is going to be one). I want to be fully surprised the first time I put the CD in my drive. To that end I vow not even to purposely look at a screenshot of any new vehicles or terrain. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patboivin Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 If there will be a CM2 demo, I will certainly use it. The CM demo is the reason why I purchased this game in the first place. I knew it was just a demo, but it was still a great game as such. I knew it didn't have all the units, or scenarios, but it just whet my appetite for more... So I forked out the money to buy the game. I am looking forward to seeing the demo for CM2, and for CM25: Above and Beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyBucket Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 Easy for you to say. My little kid gotta have it right away brain can't take that kind of delayed gratification. If there is a Demo I plan on playing it constantly, and having all available screenshots framed and hung in my bedroom so they are the last thing I see before I go to sleep. I am sure my wife won't object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler_rider Posted May 3, 2001 Author Share Posted May 3, 2001 If you already own CMBO then you know how great it is and how much better CMOB (Combat Mission Operation Barbarossa) will be. Hey BTS like the name!!! Just think of the total surprise that you will enjoy when you play it for the first time. Anyway, I will satisfy all of my CM desires with the original until CM II is final.

DEF BUNGIS Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 Alot of companies release the demo after the game has been released. Of course, BTS is not like alot of companies. But, if there is a demo, not playing it would be like not having a smoke and coffee in the morning, or having a beer after work, or not picking up a $5.00 dollar bill laying in the street. To much pressure man, to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcm1947 Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 I will wait until the actual game is out. I just want to experience the game for real the first time - with everything available to use and drive and kill, mostly kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritzl Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 You know, having a bunch of people playing both the Beta Demo and the actual 1.0 game demo helped BTS to uncover a number of bugs for the release version. It just ended up making the game that much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybeq Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 It was the Gold Demo that made me buy CMBO. I look forward to any new demos. The main reason I will download the CMII demo is because I'm curious if it will even work on my computer. Might be time for an upgrade! I'm also very curious as to how you could improve the greatest game since Steel Panthers. Can it be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 you will need a fairly new computer with lots of memory and a fast pentium processor with a 16 or 32 mb videocard. unofficial statement from someone at BTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 It would be nice if they released the demo with a small infantry action and something with mainly tanks. It would show that alot of the issues have been addressed and premier the updated (hopefully) AI and graphics/interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pak40 Posted May 4, 2001 Share Posted May 4, 2001 I like the "surprise" factor also but I'm definitly going to play the CMII demo. I feel that feedback from us players will help make the final version a better game. If BTS didn't release a demo of CMBO then the game we are all playing today would be a lot different. Therefore I think it is in all of our best interests to play and test the demo when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patboivin Posted May 4, 2001 Share Posted May 4, 2001 Heh heh. I just had a brilliant idea. (don't tell anyone) I am going to download the CM2 demo, but I won't tell any of my opponents. Then, I'll start using it in the middle of the games we are playing. Won't they be surprised when they see my Sherman tanks transformed into T-34s, and my Pershings into JS-2s! Instant AFV upgrade! S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E !!! Nothing will stop me! NOTHING! Giark giark giark.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 4, 2001 Share Posted May 4, 2001 Un-lurking… There must be a CM2 demo. Remember the feeding frenzy that accompanied the original gold demo? The ever growing thread of death? The massive server overload? I remember it well… Must have demo! Must have demo now! I want to pre-order my copy now in order to minimize my wait for my copy. I’d even be willing to pre-pay on my pre-order. Re-lurking… Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
