Dillweed Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Nice styker. No questions for me, but thank you. You've made me the happiest boy in the whole world. Now that we can all stop bitching for timeframe/screens we can start the next round. Geeze we've been waiting like 6 mins, and no demo! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they don't mind BFC's forthcoming invasion erm *cough* liberationOnce they hear the rest of the backstory they'll not mind at all The current Assad government has its fair share of issues, but it's far from the worst scenario for the Syrian people. We're modeling the wrost scenario Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securityguard Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 This is a step in the right direction. I'm happy to see the first true CM sequel be modern day warfare. A couple of questions: 1) Will there be snipers? Not talking dedicated sharpshooters, but actual entrenched snipers who are a real danger on the field. If so, how abstracted will they be? 2) I noticed you say you can play Blue on Blue, can you play Red on Red? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoat Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Will the unconventional fights include suicide bombers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillweed Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 So we can assume that it will be focused on urban ops? Also to what extent does you guys have to CYA? Was the choice to have a more complexr political situation than "Yeah, we invade Syria" a purely story based choice or was it to not piss anyone off. I remember the DPRK getting a bug up its collective ass about the new ghost recon game.

Romulus Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I would have never expected such a scenario for the first game. Very happy about the choice!!! Thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Will we be able to mod the units in game to include Canadians in Afghanistan and Afghani irregular forces? Beyond just the cosmetic, I mean. And more importantly, can we mod the codpieces? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHBERY76 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Why only one sides point of view,on both games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 Quick follow ups... Snipers, be they solo or in teams, are accurately portrayed. No abstractions like in CMx1. Red on Red should be possible, yes. Probably a lot of fun too. Suicide bombers are possible. IEDs for sure. IED counter measures are also planned. MOUT warfare is indeed a central part of CM:SF, though there will be plenty of non-MOUT type scenarios in the Campaign. Remember there is a lot of variation on the type of urban environments. They can range from a small, but dense, town to something like the modern section of a large city. Mission type and forces radically affect the nature of combat and therefore the tactical challenges. We'll probably cut off building heights to 6 stories. From a tactical simulation standpoint more than that seems to be unnecessary as well as uncommon.

Michael Dorosh Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Seems funny, Steve, that you professed to be uninterested in "fictional scenarios" vis a vis the Cold War, and now the entire focus of the first release will be a "fictional scenario" set in 2007.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillweed Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 IEDs? Hot damn, looks like its gonna be good. Hopefully you guys won't catch too much flak from GW2 vets, I'd expect at least some tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvuphys Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I thought it was strange you had so much info on the Stryker lying around Cautously optimistic...can't wait to see the demo! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 MD, as discussed before the main release determins the setting for follow up modules. Meaning, Syria setting only and not anything else. Also as disucussed before, no modding as you describe it. There might be a Module with Canadian forces in it participating in the CM:SF setting. Personally I'd like this so I can hopefully score an Arid CADPAT set "for research purposes" Point of view is limited on in Campaigns. Scenarios and Quick Battles are playable from either/both sides. The reason to limit Campaigns to one side is to optimize the challenges for one side. Unbalanced scenarios can be the absolute best for one side and as exciting as watching paint dry for the other side. By going single side we only have to concern ourselves with one side's excitement level. This is a common thing for campaigns in other games for this very same reason.

And - what about the codpieces? Hmm - just noticed that the shadows are real shadows; must be that dynamic lighting thing happening...nice touch... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 MD, how do you know this is a fictional setting? What you saw me reacting against was rewriting of history (i.e. a Cold War that never happened) or future scenarios that have about as much chance of happening as I have of being the Queen of England It is no accident that we picked this setting rather than inventing a country (like Full Spectrum Warrior) or a pure fantasy scenario (BF2). What we chose is entirely possible and therefore about as real as can be without actually having it happen. In that light, the OPFOR is based on forces that exist today, or are very likely to exist by the time 2007 comes along. We are not taking creative license to invent things that aren't likely to happen. That is the big difference in what we are doing vs. some of the ideas that have been floated on this Forum (France vs. Germany for example).

junk2drive Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Dorosh by 2007 there will be the United States of North America and Quebec so you won't need to mod Canuks anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
