DrAlimantado Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 4 CMBB new screenies at the CDV site. Awfully bright as usual, but damn, those lads are hot in their uniforms. CDV site Continue on to the Preview section and then to CM2. [ August 15, 2002, 07:45 AM: Message edited by: DrAlimantado ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopenfaust2 Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Good find. That one picture of the infantry is awesome. Looks like a commisar in the background and you can make ou the HQ with a funny hat on I can't recognize. Beautiful work Kwazy. Everyone go check out this new screenshot.

Diceman Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I almost missed it with that CDV box art. Is that some kind of cynical German joke? "So you don't like miss-used backwards "R"s do you? You don't know vhat you don't like! We vill show you vhat you don't like! Amerikan helmets and field gear on the cover an Eastern Front game, you vont like that"!

Michael Dorosh Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Very nice. Were them Russkies in the second photo doing "the Wave"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mies Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 What I'm wondering is, what is wrong with the monitor where those screenshot were taken from. The bright colours hurt my eyes. If this is what CDV is doing to the game............... Mies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 About the graphics being bright, reminds me of awhile ago when I was in my car driving through the summer countryside looking at the clusters of houses and clumps of trees as only a CMBO player does, and I was thinking to myself "Ah, the greens are just too bright! How unrealistic!" Life, it seems, actually IS filmed in Technicolor! I understand CMBB has twenty slots allocated to faces (CMBO has only 12 I believe). So there's going to be a whole new cast of characters to get to know... and none of them with CMBO 'potato heads!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Mustaches were seen as a sign of manliness among veteran Russian soldiers, while German regulations forbade facial hair (though it was sometimes done in the field). So I hope the face are indeed different. Would be nice to see Asian faces on some of the Soviet troops as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Hah hah! I had predicted on the Beta test board just three days ago someone was going to mention Asian faces on the main board! It came sooner than I expected! (I think I win a prize of some sort.) There are currently no Asian faces in CMBB -- not due to any actual decision on that subject, more to limitations of the artistic ability of the guy who was assigned to illustrate them!

Poobear Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Interesting. In the first infantry pic. 1 Russian soldier appears to be armed w/ the magazine fed self-loading rifle (name? Svt?) while the rest have the older bolt-action types. Cool! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
