Sergei Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I'm aghasted that people are suggesting a 1:1 representation of men in CMX2 claiming this to be the pinnacle of realism. Just shows what kind of materialists they are. What unites every right-minded individual <font color=grey"><font size=1>apart from killing Sgt.Viljuri's with axes</font></font> is the unhesitating belief in the separation of the soul and the Corpus. But these atheists are happily neglecting the SPIRITUAL side of every soldier. While this might be well true in modeling the godless Communists, of course we all know that the next game will be situated in the Pacific Theater, in a war between the Bible-Abiding Americans and the Devil-Worshipping Heathens of Nippon. To ACCURATELY model this conflict as a struggle between the Good and the Evil, 2:1 representation is required. On surface, it'd look just like 1:1 representation. But! there's more to it. With the press of a key you would get to see the OTHER side of the battlefield - the SPIRITUAL side of war. Yes, the souls wandering on the map, with angels and demons fighting amongst them. You could see the souls of American soldiers fly to the Heavens (the Japanese pagans have already sold their souls to Satan, so they've got nothing), with the exception of Pope-worshipping Catholics and Christ-killing Jews (see www.godhatesnonprotestants.com ). Also, army priests could protect the souls of soldiers from the tricks of the devil, while the Bad Guys could resurrect their slain men as ninja zombies (this also is a documented phenomenon from WW2, although the atheists tried to explain it as the Japanese pretending to be dead - but a God-fearing protestant knows better). I hope BFC understands how critical this is! If not, they might be added to the boycott list at www.godhatesvideogames.com !!! :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I agree wholeheartedly. But more importantly, if you were going to be in WW II, what kind of gun would you want to be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Whoa!! Excellent points about an often overlooked side of the battlefield. One question though - will the ninja zombies still get to wail on their zombie guitars and kick the army priests right in the face? We're looking for accuracy here, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Pilot Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I don’t want to see 1:1 control of the angels and demons. That’s just too tedious. Unless it’s the angels and demons of Space Lobsters of Doom. That would RULZ!!!11 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Rereading Homer's 'The iliad' last night (MUCH more fun than that lame Brad Pitt movie) I couldn't help notice how one god or another would often ride into battle at the right hand of a hero. That would necesitate a 3:1 representation of men in CMx2. What would Aeneas have been in battle without Aphrodite at his side? I have a particular fondness for Aeneas. In Virgils 'Aenead' our hero decends into the underworld, and who should he bump into but an ex-girlfriend! Talk about being in hell! That's something we can all relate to! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 WTF, we just got done discussing the gameyness of split squads over at the CMBB forum. Now you want to bring in split soldiers??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pff going to the underworld has been done to death, not to mention sooooo passé. Peng is where it's at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSgt Viljuri Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 As starters, I would want to bring few things to discussion: 1) Some russian infantry troops (green and conscript variety in CMBB terms) had a bad habit of smoking mahorka (a tobacco substitute made from diseased plants). This is a proven fact. Incidentally, one was able to smell mahorka smoking russians from few klicks away. Given that the one is situated leeward of the mahorka smoking russians, of course. So I was wondering, shouldn't a player be able to locate or maybe even spot(!) a russian squad well before any LOS is being achieved. This mahorka spotting method (MSM) differs from the other ways the russians used to give out their positions (like noise, firing their weapons or simple abstraction). However, if MSM was already implemented in CMBB, it would have had something to do with Borg spotting. What, I don't know. At least it didn't have anything to do with trainspotting. 2) AI troops and especially right-minded player individuals shouldn't get axes in CMX2. Shovels should be sufficient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 I think you might be on to something there, Viljuri. We demand smell contacts for CMx2!!! (Actually, it was not just mahorka. Sometimes the stench was contributed by Finns to bad hygiene, but later it turned out that the opposite was the case: the smell was caused by the black soap substitute that the men used to scrub themselves clean and which is also mentioned in many Gulag memoires.) I'm also in support of replacing Axe2121 with a shovel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philippe Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 On reflection 2:1 representation may not be adequate. I suspect that the proper ratio should be something more like 5:1 to accomodate ego, super-ego, id, and the occasional stray analyst or therapist that may enter into the picture. And we shouldn't overlook personal trainers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
