Teamski1 Posted March 1, 2002 Author Share Posted March 1, 2002 Never mind, I finally read the thread on this below. Well, I believe that CM will get some new diehard fans!!!! -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Yes, CM is being offered as a retail version in the UK, also in Germany, Finland from what I hear, and possibly France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ol one eye. Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Anybody seen what the box looks like? Any chance you could post a shot of it? Im very curious to see how BTS packaged it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkmek Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Someone take their digital camera to the store and give us a snapshot of our beloved game nestled on the shelves. A place where the Manifesto said they could not/would not go. How times have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmek Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Was there ever any thought to doing a less US-centric cover for sale in Europe? Speedbump I agree, they should have shown some other country. Axis or Allies. I think a screen shot would have looked better on the box front also. That would grab the consumers' eye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason is out there if you care to search for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmek Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 I remember reading something about BTS collaborating with a French company. Are they distributing to the UK as well? How about Germany with their strange game rules? I think Matt mentioned a toned-down CMBO was selling there. And what does early summer sound like to everyone? June 1st?

Dittohead Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Well the overseas sales explains why Madmatt is driving around in a brand new humvee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wacky Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 The retail version is PC only for reasons explained elsewhere. And Gutshot you silly git, you can't review it before it comes out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski1 Posted March 1, 2002 Author Share Posted March 1, 2002 All I'm happy about is the fact that CM finally made it to the shelf where it deserves it's mainstream air time. It beats the hell out of the garbage thats out there any day. Having played this game for well over a year, I think the game deserves all the sales it can get. Let true justice prevail...... -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 PC only on shelves you say? Those poor poor Brits! BUT, did you notice the blurb on the box cover: "Bonus CD!" It probably won't do you any good begging Matt to release the bonus CD only for sales. I think the agreement with the mod artists was the CD was to be offered as a no-charge item. ...I think.

Feldgendarm Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Originally posted by Hawkmek: How about Germany with their strange game rules? I think Matt mentioned a toned-down CMBO was selling there.Err...strange game rules? Sorry, but I don't think I understand what you mean. Since CMBO even in the original version does not display swastikas or other Nazi symbols and no explicit brutality, there has never been a problem about releasing it. But what other strange game rules do I suffer from here? Greetings, Feldgendarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseltaylor Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Released in Europe by CDV who also distributed hits like Sudden Strike and Cossacks. Also available with reviews home and they have some shops in towns My brother tells me that a small computer shop in the depths of sleepy Devon has taken several pre-orders for the official release date of March 8th.!!!! Of course we are hoping to get CMBB released at the same time as the US - can Battlefront confirm if this is going to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFCElvis Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Well....I have purchased several copies of CM and do not have the extra disk I see listed on this box.....I suppose I must go to the bank and get the proper amount of Pounds and purchase this version too.
