The Commissar Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Can someone please put the person responcible for thinking that the "R" and the "N" backwards looks more Russian in front of a fookin' firing squad? The "backwards R" makes for a "Ya" sound in Russian. The "backwards N" sounds like an "E". So now the game is called "Combat Mission: Bayabayosa to Beyale" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has someone undergone a PC cultural sensitivity training lately? Awh, the selective backwards letters looks heavy metal. Very much heavy metal. Now I expect that CMBB will play 'Run to the hills' every time someone is forced to auto-surrender. But what I do not like is how they have capitalized 'HOT' in the ad. Kinda smells like attention grabbing advertisement that underestimates the prospective buyer. I think that the game will sell good based on its merits, it does not need used-car sales tricks. But I gotta say that I liked the ad. *begins to sing 'Run to the hills'* M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projection? Could that be the one? Yep. Projection it is. Here the whole bunch of us are climbing the walls in anticipation for CMBB, and you begin to worry about grammar. Does the adjective 'old' modify the singular 'fart'? M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "backwards R" makes for a "Ya" sound in Russian. The "backwards N" sounds like an "E". So now the game is called "Combat Mission: Bayabayosa to Beyale" first priority get my hands on CMBB ASAP! Second Priority get rid of the backwards "R" or use some elses Moded CD cover art which will immediately appear following the sale and release of CMBB The backwards "R" is certianly "questionable" IMHO but what the heck I hope BFC has better things to do than fix questionable cover design issues in their print ad campaign. Instead of bitching we should all be saluting the fact that they ACTUALLY have a print ad campaign (they are VERY expensive to run) and congradulating them for its timely release in the June issue, (think about it!) I would hope another full page print ad would follow in the July issue. How about this: "GREAT work BFC, on the print campaign! Keep up the solid effort!" A+ for effort and timing and execution in Advertising and meeting the deadline! (the Deadline for that full page ad in the June issue was likely 60-90 days ago !) C+ however for Graphic Design and composition on the Print Ad -tom w (P.S. sorry .... What can I say? I teach Graphic and New Media Design students at a community college.)

Porajkl Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 I think we've found them. The great "Bald Hiding" MadMatt. No respond from him or other BTS crew. Why? Because we will see CMBB very soon.... If you remeber, each topic which was based on fictitious claim from us, they responded quickly to deny it. But not now! So logically... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a small company like Battlefront.com do a full page ad buy unless they were relatively certain that they would be ready to release the game on or shortly after the ad was printed?

Kwazydog Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 "(P.S. sorry .... What can I say? I teach Graphic and New Media Design students at a community college.)" Tom, give your students three days to do it from beginning to end whilst montioring a forum, answering dozens of emails and texturing a few hundred vehicles and see how they go As for A release date guys we cant give anything out there just yet. I am pretty sure Martin confirmed elsewhere on the forum that 'this year' would be a safe bet though Dan (is that better guys ) [ June 04, 2002, 08:06 PM: Message edited by: KwazyDog ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Bombs Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Originally posted by KwazyDog: [QB As for the release date guys we cant give anything out there just yet. Dan[/QB]Did you see that? He said they couldn't give any info "just" yet. This is the first time I've seen the use of "just yet". In the vernacular does that not imply imminency? I mean, if he had said "we can't give anything out there yet" then I would be thinking later rather than sooner, but since he said "just yet"... Grasping at straws here in the heartland...

Agua Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Notice also he said "the release date" rather than "a release date"! Very suggestive that a firm date is already in mind! (trying to be silly here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Norton Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Holly cow! Until Dan's reply, I thought, no big deal, it will be out when it is ready. But, look at the reply. I think Spanishbombs is right, we must be very close to the assembly point. Hold that Father's day gift kids, dad is standing by! Get some BTS.
