Guest Mike Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Just to reinforce eh topic - IIRC using flame throwers to set up fire barriers is considered gamey too - although again it doesn't happen as much in CMBB both because terrain doesn't catch fire so easily, and because fires can start as or die down to be small rather than a whole terrain tile. They're all employed - they're just all cute too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamey works. Gamey clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the CMBB spirit. Gaminess, in all of it's forms - gamey flag rushes, edge hugging, knowledge of ground conditions Heh, to be honest with you, the above is actually true if you are a quake player (rocketjumping, strafe jumping for speed, wall hugging for speed, all which were bugs but which everyone wanted left in). But it's not true in this game =) Thank god you can't strafe your Tigers for speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rucrazee Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Gamey - 1. One who is victorous in a two player Combat Mission game. Groggy - 1. One who is woozy from one who is gamey. 2. One who should stick to history books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mies Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 MikeyD wrote: In the real world an advancing platoon can't hug the edge of the map to protect their flank As a good mate of mine (who didn't think that was gamey either) told me people can perceive this as being gamey. I can get into that but, on the other hand, if there is good cover to the sides it makes no sence to rush through the open middle of the map right? What I'm trying to say is, is that not everything is gamey and then again not all game engine possibilities should be exploited. Just agree with an opponent before starting a game..... or somefink Mies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Mike writes: Edge of the world isn't gamey IMO - all games have that feature. Well, if all games have it, wouldn't that be gamey by definition? As for soft vehicles scouting, I suspect a lot of Jeeps on the western front were used for that very purpose. I can imagine a commander saying "Get some men to X coordinate on the map (4 miles away) and report back what they find." Would your first reaction be to decide to walk the 8 miles round-trip?

SgtMuhammed Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Yes jeeps were used as recon assets just as Hummers are now. If you don't have armor you try not to get shot at it is that simple. However, no one uses trucks with no means of communication and even less stealth as a recon element. At least no competent army. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horus Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 MrSpkr if you play in such a manner i think you have the opponents you deserve for qb´s i have no opinion because i dunno like them. in a (semi-)historically scenario are other things to discuss imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Spiral Posted January 18, 2003 Author Share Posted January 18, 2003 LightningWar said "5 years?" Yeah im pretty sure i started playing the CMBO demo about 5 years ago. I found it, before i started my last job (which i've been gone from for about 2 1/2 years) and i had that job for 3 years... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
