SwampYankeeGWJ Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I couldn't find information on PBEM capability in the new CM2 games. Will the new games be playable by email? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Originally posted by Battlefront.com: Technical updates: (snip) PBEM... we're not far enough along to say for sure. The things that would nix or allow PBEM haven't happened yet. We'll need some semblance of a "real" scenario with loads of terrain types to know for sure. However, I am as always cautiously optimistic that it will be in and decently functional (i.e. no need to do some sort of file swapping service as some have suggested). So far nothing Charles sees precludes PBEM from working, which is at least a good thing even if it isn't a complete and final assessment.

SwampYankeeGWJ Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Thanks. It would truly be a shame if these games lost PBEM. That was what made the first 3 games last so long on my hard drive, and at least a half dozen others bought the game to PBEM with me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampYankeeGWJ Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Seems like little has changed on these boards, about a 50-50 split between helpful posts and asshats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 there was a whole heap of carp regarding PBEM on the CMAK board, before this one was created. Have a look there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Ahh asshats is it. I see. Next time I'll point you in the right direction and hold your hand until you arrive. Or better yet maybe just cut and paste the relevant text sos you dont have to hurt yer pretty little index finger clicking your mouse button too many times. Or maybe embed the link in my search .jpg.... Naw that would be too easy and stuff. Maybe you could just email Abbott every time you want to find something. Really, he will enjoy that. He is a peach of a man I tells ya, one of them real touchy-feely types. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogface Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 boy ya'll are some touchy posters. Here I am just trying to help out a fellow poster (If one used my jpg then there wouldn't be a need to cut-n-paste BF.c's reply) and I get called names. Reguarding the original question of PBEM capability in the new CM2 games, when I entered PBEM into the search function I was given oh maybe 50 links about PBEM and CM:SF. Some even had the cryptic thread titles of PBEM? and PBEM:Yes No?. So it seemed that the original poster didnt spend too much time "finding" info. Also you will notice that in my original reply I was addressing Abbott, not the aformentioned search challenged poster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woooooooow!!! Hold it, dude! :mad: We asshats have a SIGNIFICANT majority! And then there's 'em gutless urineheads like you, but they're pretty insignificant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Time to bump the Synopsis thread again. I like newbies; gives me mileage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Originally posted by Dogface: Abbott, you are too nice. I know, I know. That is exactly how I feel about it! But the only people I seem to get along with are animals, small children and a couple of women. Good thing I had a bunch of kids or nobody would come near me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincere Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 "Histwar:Les Grognards" will have it even though it's primarily a real-time game and we'll be working VERY hard to include it in CMSF as well. Martin Moon posted this in the Theatre of war forum. I guess if they're working VERY hard to get it into CMSF there's a better than 50/50 chance that it'll be in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Lets face it: without PBEM there will be little to distinguish the CMX2 WW2 version from ToW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanachai Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Originally posted by SwampYankeeGWJ: Seems like little has changed on these boards, about a 50-50 split between helpful posts and asshats. Personally, I think that's a good split, especially given how often people who use terms like 'asshats' simply have no sense of humour. I figure responses where 50% of the posters are helpful, and where another somewhat indeterminate number, but probably amounting to as much as 40% of the responses are simply humorous (though not to everyone's taste) means that it's a good Board, and that anyone using the term 'asshats' should probably reach around behind them and adjust the fit and comfort level of the broomstick. When you're asking someone else to do your work for you, I figure a 'thanks' to the helpfuls, and a 'grin and playful smack talk' reply to the others is a surer way to keep people being helpful than pulling an 'Augustus Caesar' attitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucero1148 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Nice photo! Can't we all just get along? Naw it's more fun reading about who and what is an asshat or urinehead. Seriously though CMSF has major differences to Tow. 1. you can enter buildings 2. you have a map editor? 3. on board mortars to name a few. Hope I got that right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Now you got me confused, is CMSF still WEGO? Or some hybrid version? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Chapuis Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hey Dogface - why dont you post your jpg for stikkypixie? Or are you only an asshat to new people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 lol nope, new old I dont care. But in an effort to save my bandwidth I only post the search jpg once a thread. That and he is a pooler so I try to ignore him. Also this thread was started back in 2005 and I didnt see the need to rehash the pic. I think now I will just get a nice jpg of teh blogfront tab and post that from now on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
