BTS - Feeling lonely, CMBB-less and let down in Holland


Recommended Posts

:confused:

I would really like to buy CMBB. I pre-ordered CMBO way back and was very happy to buy direct from the US, no problems, and I have loved the game (and lurked here) ever since.

Now I want CMBB but no-one seems to care. CDV's site (which is very poor in terms of information) only mentions UK & Germany release. Game.com in the UK will not ship to mainland Europe. I am a brit living in Holland and don't speak German, so the German edition is no use to me. So it looks like one less CMBB sale for Battlefront.

Can anyone in the US arrange to get me a copy? Or someone in the UK when it is out there? DOes anyone know if there is going to be a version of the game in The Netherlands? I guess no-one cares, because it's only a small market...

Disappointed!!!

I too am a Brit living in The Netherlands. Amazon.co.uk will ship to NLDS and I've used UK online gaming sites before to buy English versions of several games (my Dutch is woefully poor :( ). Off the top of my head www.play.com is good bet (very good DVD prices as well btw), I've used them before.

I also see English versions of CMBO in my local Dynabyte so hopefully there will be English versions of CMBB as well. Don't give up hope just yet!

As an aside. I hope CDV aren't thinking of releasing the German language version in Holland, that wouldn't go down well here I can tell you!

This is how rumours get started, eh?

Rumour one, no doubt to be a hard fact in about 2 hours:

- there will be no release in Holland

to be countered by rumour two, in about three hours:

- there will be a release in Holland, but it will be the German language version...

Really...

Guys as a dutchman myself I know the problem

Rumours start when those who know do not give the information to those who want to know.

Nothing strange with that.

Of course then there are those who want to believe that they know, despite that they have not been told anything, (Hi Eugen ;) ).

The Prinz doesn't behave like his historical counter part - but maybe his name is taken from the Heavy Cruiser rather then from the Prinz.

Prinz Eugen der tapfere Ritter - Prince Eugen the brave Knight (German poem) wouldn't do so.

Nice that the Dutch doesn't appretiate swearing. I some time have to but...

Its okay, it makes the thread longer, which is more impressive I suppose.

It also sucks when someone who's responding to a post copies the entire previous post when theirs is the very next one...
