PeterNZer Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 The mood in this forum lately reminds me of the times when everybody played the beta demo and eagerly awaited the gold demo and the final game. There is a glimpse of CM2 on the horizon, more and more features of the game come to light, everybody is a bit bored or itchy, we have more flames, more padlocks and Steve starts to post more regularly... Things get definitely more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PawBroon Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 What do you know about all of this?! You should produce bonafide links to Threads from the Past showing without any doubt that you were there and that you have a legacy to post such comments. If you can't understand the concept of intelligent posting and peer reviewing as stated by Slapdragon himself quoting Rexford (In "I had a penetrating dream") then you'd better pack your things and head off for the Boonies till CMBB is released. What is that fantasy about people being flamed because of our dire expectancy towards CM2? I say Pffffttt to your logic! I don't like you!! You are mostly German I've been told so you're like an Aitken Light. Now you Sugar Free Scot, send me a Setup and whatever it is I should say to finish this. I hope you never did MODs because I'd hate to miss you. Sheesh! Try to keep that game from being gigantic. I'm a Frog, too many soldiers do wonders to my digestive life. And for the ignorants, I am rude because I am from the Peng Challenge Thread. Now if I can find myself one of those distinctive piece of yellow clotheware so that Regulars could notice from afar I am different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Weiss Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 No doubt about it. I've seen other game forums where folks come and go, names change, interest peters off and eventually an entirely new generation of gamers are all that are left on the forum. Not so with CM. I still see postings from CM'ers that were on here nearly a year ago, and many of those who drifted off are still on here and for crying out loud, the cotton picken ever present Peng thread is still going strong. I really do not know of any other game, or game company, that has managed to gather together a loyal following of this magnitude with such a lengthly track record. I used to say this alot in the old or older days; the BTS Manifesto is more than words on paper, it is the missing link in game production philosophy and the end results speak for themselves.

By the way, there is a new mod for French soldiers Pawboon. It was made by a WW2 German veteran. Unfortunately, it only includes the backs of the soldiers' uniforms. Claims that was the only side he ever got a good look at. BTW -- Thanks for the e-mail Pawboon. I appreciate it. Je puis voyager à Lyon en quelques mois. Où habitez-vous?

Battlefront.com Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 unfortunately, I have to crawl back in my shell. Too much time spent here means too many delays for CMBB I will periodically poke in and out, but people should be prepared to get an answer and then no follow ups. Later, when things are getting close to completion, I will once again spend most of my life answering questions Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you know anything about Scottish comic strips? BTW did anyone see the article in PC Strategy Games that described the mad Frenchman as a genius, because of his Austin Powers mod for the Universal Carrier?

Moriarty Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Broon, ya lumbering, cotton pickin', CessPool-dwelling Git, if you don't get a taker for one of those new Berli maps at Der Kessel, pick one and we'll have a go. Now, that you've exorcised those German AFV demons, maybe you can beat me legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastables Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Even here on an operational deployment during stand downs I play CM.

Slapdragon Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 I avoid anything written by the Scots, prefering to read things in the English language instead of whatever the heck it is they speak. Paw-Boon I though was the French version of Daniel Boone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you know the real value of our Colonials and that of the Legion. As I said once, why would you want to fight the whole war if some Pvt Ryan is willing to get his ass busted to save yours?

I thought I was writting to Aitken that why I was being nice. If I may, EN QUELQUES MOIS is not French. Peer reviewing would hint to the fact that EN is unsubstantiated and that DANS would have been more historically and gramatically correct. Needless to say I live in Paris you dork. That's 2 hours from Paris for those who are Kinetically Challenged. As a side note, LINDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What about that challenge? I had never been beaten by one of you Krauts! Come on, even Andreas the Teutonic had bought the Farm time and again against me. I'm a Frog for Steve & Charles sake! Anyone real willing? Am I to understand you ubercyber are all fakes? Huuh?!

Foobar Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Am I a heretic for saying that I am not completely frothing at the mouth for CMBB? Don't get me wrong, I will be VERY happy when it gets here, buy my 2 or 3 copies, or whatever, but my deep thirsts for wargaming are being served well by CMBO. This is it man. What are you people doing wrong that you need to move on to CMBB, dropping CMBO off at the next block like some cheap whore? This is not to say that CMBB will not improve upon what we have already. So don't even try arguing that point, especially you Lindan. You've had it out for me since the beginning. You bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Bellator Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Grrrrr - Lay off the mighty Mr Pawbroon. I will defend him with all the means in my power (ok, not many, I'll admit) right up until the point that the releases his promised Daimler mod, then he's all yours & taunt him an extra one for me. Just make sure he doesn't withdraw the mod when you really upset him before I have a chance to download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
