Gyrene Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 If I'm not mistaken I read somewhere that the German version of CM comes with a Mods CD. What mods are in it? Nothing exclusive I hope. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warphead Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 I have to admit I do not own the German version. But I never heard that there was a Mod CD coming with it... Maybe you confuse it with that other guys who tried to earn money with a Mod CD. This was blocked by BTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 Isn't there a gold edition coming out with a cd full of mods and scenarios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike8g Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 The German version does definitely not have a MOD CD. IIRC, the UK version will have a mod CD. At least there was some statement some days ago here in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK version has gone on sale yesterday, so now is the time for the frenzied rabble that is this board to flood Amazon.co.uk with positive 5-star reviews or somefink.

PawBroon Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 CombatFrance will be distributing the same offer for the French market. If you go take a look at their site (in French) you'll see that in Screen shots, those are not all stock textures but MODed ones. I'd say Tiger's work for most of them... If they were to MOD some part, it's strange they had kept the brighter part of the game. Due to release this month. Personally, I wouldn't trade my MODed BMP folder for what's coming on that CD. We're not missing much. Now prepare for the same kind of things which happened for Counter Strike when they released the Retail box some time after the Net version. N00bs, thousands of n00bs and hackers. It's time to BUMP the FAQs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyrene Posted February 2, 2002 Author Share Posted February 2, 2002 Andreas, I just noticed that the Amazon.co.uk site does not list the game as Mac compatible! Dorks! Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warphead Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 IIRC that was a problem with the German CDV version too. It was not listed as a feature but it was Mac compatible.

Peter is already begging me to aloow him to do vid editing on them, because he wants to stick with a windogs machine. Pfffrrzzzz I say to him, if you don't get a Mac, go video ed in your self-inflicted hell. Yes I know about the Mac stuff - some screw-up, but what can you do. Something for the reviews.

Gyrene Posted February 2, 2002 Author Share Posted February 2, 2002 I wrote a review last night and i got the same blank screen. I think they are just pooling all the reviews together to spring them all out at the same time, with whoever sent in the first winning.

Madmatt Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 I am not sure what the french site is showing but those are not the mods that are on the bonus CD. The bonus CD contains over 150 seperate mods both CMMOS (which is included) and standalone and over 50 scenarios and ops. Some mods were exclusives and available (at least currently) only on the Bonus CD. Here are the people that contributed to this project: ARTISTS Marco Bergman Marcus Bloess Fernando J. Carrera Buil Dean Chernois Mike Duplessis Matt Faller Andrew Fox Bil Hardenberger Juju Paul McMahon Gordon Molek Dan Olding Matthew Petersen SCENARIO AND OPERATION DESIGNERS Eric 'McAuliffe' Antonsen Wyatt 'wwb' Barnett Andreas 'Germanboy' Bierman Dan 'Berlichtingen' Brown Bil Hardenberger Tim 'Rune' Orosz Bill 'Wild Bill' Wilder The bonus CD is only available on the CDV distributed UK CMBO version.

Apache Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 This has lost me a little. French CMBO, UK CMBO - I thought there was ONE place you could get it, BTS. How do you get hold of these CDs?

Moon Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Guys, just to clear up any potential confusion here - CDV is our European partner for CMBO (only). What you see here are offerings of their local versions of CMBO, both online and retail, and what they're offering to European customers is not different from what most of you already have. The mods CD is a collection of mods available (or previously available) here, at CMHQ and elsewhere and has been compiled with the (greatly appreciated) help and approval of a lot of the mod makers you know. There is nothing you might miss which you don't already have - well, except maybe the box. The only reason (other than going for memorabilia - which was the reason I bought a German copy a few months ago, lol ) to get a local version would be if you want a CMBO copy in your local language (german or french for example), as you get a translated manual on top of things. For the german version, CDV was even offering a special discout for owners of the original version, so I am assuming you might see something like this in France (doubt it in the UK). Sooo - unless you are interested in obtaining a collection of mods on one CD and a nice box - you don't have to be afraid miss a thing when you take the next flight to the UK (edited for typo) [ February 02, 2002, 06:39 PM: Message edited by: Moon ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Is CDV the outfit that do 'Sudden Strike' and 'Cossacks'? The only thing I might be interested in is the CD of mods. I'm upgrading my PC soon and I'd hate to think how long I'd spent downloading mods etc. Mind you, I'd probably know exactly what I needed now so that would cut it a bit. Just in case though, are CDV actually marketing in the UK or in France/Germany (or all of those)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
