J Ruddy Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well, the time is almost here - when the gaming Gods at CM feed us little critters with screenies and (finally) the goods on the new game's arena of operations. So, I'm going to risk the lock and getting booted from this forum by opening up the challenge to those who think they know what the first release is going to be... What's at stake? Bragging rights - for those of you who are going to say "I knew it all along!" put your predictions where your mouth is. Based on bones etc.. I think it will be WWII Western Front - specifically Belgium to Dunkirk. Maybe I'm smoking cordite - but dammit, someone has to be the first! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Based on everything I have read, I would say: 1. Game 1: Americans in Normandy; 2. Module 1: Commonwealth in Normandy: 3. Module 2: Battle of the Bulge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pvt. Ryan Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I predict nothing but a padlock. This has been done so many times and is pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 After giving it considerable thought, and with all due respects to LOD (the main contender), the next release will be a brilliant stroke of marketing: Leather Goddesses of Phobos. Whenever I hear someone mention Sandusky, Ohio I get the shivers. The Lobsters will be a module in the series, probably having to do with the Goddesses' misguided search for sex slaves on the wrong planet.

Thomm Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Market Garden!!!! Emphasis on individual soldiers (paratroopers). Excellent for showing off new building models and 1:1 modelling. Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I will pee my pants with laughter if it isn`t WW2. And I am inclined to think it is not. BFC have been very secretive even as to in which CENTURY CMx2 is set in. Expect to be surprised. Then again, Market Garden would be particulairly sweet, and more importantly, easily marketable! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrold Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Combat Bouncer: MadMatt Kicks Drunken Ass Using his many years of bouncing experience, Matt "MadMatt" Faller narrates cutscenes and stars in this top down 3D simulation of combat between valiant club bouncers and massive drunken hordes. The game will feature dynamic disco ball lighting, detailed projectile vomiting hits, and many specialized attacks such as the headlock, arm twist, and the bum toss. A special edition will include even more bar skins along with a copy of "Roadhouse" starring Patrick Swayze. BFS5 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Joch Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 It may be a dead horse, but honestly, what else is there to discuss until the announcement comes. Discussing the details of a game until the subject matter has been announced seems pointless to me. If you read Steve's various comments on this forum, it's pretty obvious what the first game will be...unless Steve is a master of deception :eek: my prediction stands! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Heh In all seriousness, I don't think it will be WW2. If I had to guess I'd say modern combat. For a guy doing WW2 games, Steve is surprisingly up to date on current US Army TO&E. :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoSimonds Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Whatever CMx2 turns out to be, my first order of business will be to create a scenario where I will rename all the opposing units to the names of the posters in these silly threads. Then I will give myself a horde of the most powerful units in the game and exact my revenge. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrold Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I dunno about that...a modern game would have a lot of planes, helicopters, missiles, and other junk requiring a bunch of new research. While they might do it in the future and are likely providing the flexibility to handle these items, my WAG is that their priority is to use the massive amount of WWII research they have already compiled. This allows them to focus on the implementation of the new engine and ensuring it works with equipment which is already intimately familiar. Once this structure is solid and they have hooked their large and drooling WWII fans with the concept, IMMO then there will be plenty of opportunity to expand. So my serious prediction is a return to the West Front, but it's just a guess. BDH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I pray it won't be modern combat. WW2 was as it begam, and WW2 it should stay (gets off soapbox with help of cane, and shuffles away...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overman_XXX Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 BoB was consistently hinted at in the FAQ post a while back. How can you go wrong with ETO-WW2? It sells. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salkin Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I'm thinking WW2 for all the reasons Barrold posted. They don't have to do the research all over again and all they need is a fairly basic engine (relatively speaking). No lasers, missiles or choppers. //Salkin I say : Flog that horse !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
