History Buff Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I don't recall Battlefront or BTS announcing this interview but if they did sorry, it's pretty recent and has some screenshots. New expected release date etc. All the way with CM:BB http://www.macgamer.com/features/publish.php?id=770 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History Buff Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 I wouldn't know, but it does look very similiar Great interveiw though, I particully like the last question's response that their is some other works beside combat mission in the battlefront.com pipeline Are you guys bringing back Actung Spitfire?!!!!! :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Oh man that first pic is absolutely incredible! Look at the trees! LOOK AT THE TREES! AND THE WHEAT! And those are just the stock graphics! Imagine what the game will look like when Gordon, Marco, Tom, Andrew, et al get their hands on it! Think of what CM looks like unmodded and what it looks like now, and I'll think you'll get an idea of how good CM:BB is going to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few other bones in there if you read closely (Africa and France 1940 before the rewrite??) ; but then again, the guy who wrote the intro seemed a bit confused - 1st person vs. 3rd person, for example. Good article, all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwazydog Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Heya Guys, Just so you know, those shots about about a month old now. Oh, and nope Michael, the winter terrain is ours, and its been in there for a couple of months now, hehe. Glad you guys like how its shaping up though. The T-34 is an older texture, but will be updated soon Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citizen Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Hopefully BTS has already asked the article writers to correct the link in the 1st paragraph written as Command Mission, that tries to take them to www.commandmission.com which goes nowhere. Think of all the lost sales because of that little flub! Ok, not really. citizen [ February 28, 2002, 02:35 AM: Message edited by: citizen ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ol one eye. Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 The T-34 shot is my new desktop wallpaper. Does that make me a geek? Do I need proffesional help? Doodads REALLY improve the graphics, excellent job guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I'm no farmer, but based on lots of stills and movie footage I've seen, I thought wheat was much taller, say, head high. If not, someone needs to explain to me some fascinating accounts I've read of SU-85s hidden in the wheat ambushing Panthers which couldn't see them. Of course, the wheat may be immature as shown, or it may be some dwarf version I've never seen, or it may've been arbitrarily shortened for that particular really impressive image. Would love to know the real reason. Love the new pictures! Regards, John Kettler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwazydog Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Heya Guys! Just a couple of quick answers! Citizen, thanks for pointing that out....we will email them asap Captain Wacky, yup, Steve if looking after the uniforms himself! Hehe, you should see his collection of the real deal...very impressive! John, if we make it much higher we unfortunately get into the old problem of not being able to see troops once they enter the stuff, hehe, so you wont bee seeing it much higher than chest height. Something we will be looking into futher with the rewrite though Again, glad you like how its shaping up guys...wait until you see some of the changes made in the last week or two!

Mord Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 That shot of the germans advancing in the wheat is just plain awsome! Is that a squad and three sharpshooters? I'd love to see squads represented like that! a 5 or 6 man representation. It looks much more natural the way they are fanned out. Excellent job Dan the textures kick ass!

Munter Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Looking good! Especially I love the real-looking treelines against the pale winter sky. It feels like... home. One can almost feel the familiar breeze. The trees will certainly not wave in the wind yet, I recon? There's still something odd with the screenshot with the T-34/76's. Compared with the contrast setting of the terrain the tanks look a bit hazy. Their colours don't seem to have the same intensity or depth as the backround. Soldiers do look alright, however. Should I get my eyes checked or what? M [ February 28, 2002, 10:22 AM: Message edited by: Munter ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
