Molotov Cocktail Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hey €uro citiz€ns! Which version you will buy BFC or CDV version? In this time we €uro citiz€ns can choose between original BFC version and CDV version, do you order from BFC or do you just go to your nearest computer game store ? (deparment store, hypermarket or whatever)and buy the game with nice CDV €uro DVD package with waffengrenadiers and heavy copy protection What is your opinion? I have not decided, what I do, the dilemma of €uro citizen. But I was very pleased with the demo of CMAK o I forgot British and Nordics (Scandinavians and Finns) except Finns don't still use €uros 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I'll go to the shop on the 28th November and see if it's been released in the UK, if it hasn't I'll preorder from BFC. In either case I shall insist on paying in groats . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achim Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I bought a CDV version. great game, i got it 2 days ago (Germany, mail service). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Well, I've ordered direct from BFC, but it turns out that one of my main reasons, the groovy manual, has been discarded so there will be a slimline manual for CM:AK. Still, I've ordered, and that's that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Juzzy Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I'm a patient man, I ordered mine from BFC. Don't like crazy CDV copy protection, non-auto start, waffengrenadier and lousy patch d/l site. It's like the good old days of CMBO. I can wait in trepidation for my postman to arrive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Same as Dr. Juzzy, ordered from BFC, waiting for the mailman now.... Monty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salkin Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I live in Sweden and I ordered the BFC version. I didn't do my homework so I thought CMAK wouldn't be released in stores . //Salkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 If you buy the game direct, BFC receive more of the money, so the choice is simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an important reason to order from BFC for me too. And I want my nazi SS stormtroopers and not some waffen grenadiere. It was a test for me to see it lying in the shops today while on my way to my sister to order CMAK (don't have a credit card myself). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those cheats. I knew it! It's a great conspiracy, "they" gave us fake money, probably from Monopoly-game... Bring back our Finnmarks! I ordered from Battlefront and now starting to regret it - my friends are already playing the game and Battlefront's site says that shipping will start on 5th of December. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I am one of the (seemingly) few who were actually happy with the CDV version. Got it a day before the official release, never had problems downloading a patch and never cared about the Waffengrenadiere. BMPs can be altered, as can be certain annoying copy-protection mechanisms... And since I ordered CMBO directly from BFC I already had a complete, printed manual to accompany the CMBB tiny one. And then the temptation of just walking into a store and grab a copy instead of waiting for snail mail... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco QNS Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Preordered to BFC. All my percentages belong to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicdain Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 For CMBB I had no choice and bought from CDV, but I didn't like at all the changes they made: "waffengranadier", no svastica and SS symbols. After more than 50 years still those fears. Anyway... For CMAK, I pre-ordered from BTS. I will have wait until shipping day (let's hope it's 5th december!), but I think it will be worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Originally posted by Ales Dvorak: I don't know for CDV but I do know for BFC = printed manual. Sorry to shatter your utopia. "In order to reduce costs on this game and be able to sell it for only $35 we have decided to ship it with the main manual as a 210+ PDF file which is installed along with the game from the CD. CMAK will also ship with a 32 page printed Player Guide with a detachable Quick Reference Card." Oh, I was just kidding. I'm not sorry at all. Maybe they could do something special for the pre-orderers... something like keep their games overnight in the laundry basket where Madmatt stores all his dirty socks and underwear. That would bring to the games a very special aroma which nicely simulates the true horrors of war (my nose will never forget those nights slept in a tent shared by two squads after we had been served pea soup earlier in the day and had had no chance to get clean underwear for a week, and someone was diarrhic, and it was -30 Celsius outside so you couldn't keep the entrance open). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0tten Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Although I prefer the BFC version with its SS and sig runes, I will buy the CDV Version of CMAK tomorrow. This has many reasons: First one, I'm living in germany so there is no chance to have historical correct games and dont want to think about the correct arrival of my package... Ok, the main reason is, that I want to play this game NOW and I dont want to wait for long time for shipping and so on. The payment is another reason, I have no credit card (poor student). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDV have announced a release date of 28th November, but it's not clear if that's just Germany or the whole of Europe, although it looks like it's already on the shelves in Finland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
