Sequoia Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 The USMC is coming soon and the Brits are a sure thing, but after that would you rather have the proposed 3rd module with Germans/Dutch/Canadians or a whole new Modern setting game such as a new Korean War for example? P.S. WWII votes don't count as we're getting that already. P.P.S. You can't vote NATO vs Warsaw Pact either or Arab/Israeli as Steve has said they'd never do it.

M1A1TC Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 If proposed 3rd module with Germans/Dutch/Canadians adds European theathre, than I am all for that. Just make sure to add Russians in the 4th module 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add say, Serbia boils over, or Nato in Georgia, or the invasion of Belarus you'd need a whole new game, hence my question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Why would that be a whole new game? All we need is some new trees and roofing types. Steve also said he would never do Asian/Pacific, so Korea is out [ May 16, 2008, 03:29 PM: Message edited by: M1A1TC ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Means Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 If the Russians joined as Blue...and we could make Blue on Blue scenarios..? Anyway, I'd prefer to stick to the road rather than divert, simply because it'll take less development time and we can get to WWII. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 They are adding only one branch of US military in the next module. How do you expect them to add Canadian/Dutch/German/Australian militaries? They would never do that (add "kitchen sink"), as Steve has stated, since they learned on mistakes of CMBB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Once you add the Germans and you already have British vehicles you get the Dutch and Canadians cheaply, the word from Battlefront was at least. I don't know if the same applies to the Australians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 They don't as far as I know, but the Brits vehicles would already be done in the previous module. Combine British and German and US equipment and you have almost evrything the Dutch and Canadians use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwazydog Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Actually guys, you have pretty much everything you need to simulate a Korean battle now if you wish too, their equipment list is basically just a subset of the Syrians (they dont have the newer ATGMs, tanks, probably no ERA, etc). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Tiger Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Reading some of Steve's posts on this subject lately, I get the feeling that they're thinking about a whole new game and not a module. From a financial point of view for them this is of course fine for them and I'll definitely buy it. But I won't be too happy at having to first buy US v Russia/China whatever, and then have to wait once again for the Brits, Germans and other Coalition forces to be added to it. As for political sensitivity over having the US duke it out with either Russia or China, as long as their forces are reasonably accurately portrayed, I'd imagine those folks would be very happy to play the game as Red so that they can kick some US butt. Finally, BFC is a only a computer GAME company, and not some adjunct of the US Government, so why bother being so sensitive? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Err, I forgot to answer the original question... my vote's for a whole new game. While a lot of fun, western superpowers v Syria doesn't have much more life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon67 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Forget it. They probably already regret doing the Marine mod. Next stop will be WWII and Syria and the rest of the ME will be the "old days". The new inside joke won't be about tripods but M113's. Remember we said M113 and the answer was King Tiger ? Personally, that is my take on it when the answer to our questions about adding equipment seems to be always that it is not relevant to a Syrian scenario. I think what they really mean is it is not relevant to Beyond Overlord. The strength of this game is not "Syria" actually, but imagination of the modern battlefield. I spend more time creating Iraq scenarios and could care less about Syria. [ May 16, 2008, 08:53 PM: Message edited by: Dragon67 ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally posted by Dragon67: Forget it. They probably already regret doing the Marine mod. Dragon, please be careful making broad statements like this as newer forum members might take them seriously. The Marine module is coming along very nicely so far, and it certainly wont be the last modern warfare module available. Dan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I just posted this in the M113 thread. It applies here too: Oh, I definitely agree. I can tell you that this will happen. I'm sure I've even said this in the past, but in case I haven't made it clear enough... the contemporary setting will indeed move into the temperate zone. When we do that the Syrian setting, by definition, goes away. What will the Red forces look like? I dunno... but did you catch wind of that parade last week? We did.The exact nature of the Module that follows Brits is not something we've finalized yet because we've only taken a superficial look at it. As for moving to the temperate theater, when we do this it will be a new game purchase for sure. The exact composition of forces on each side are not decided yet, but expect at least as much new content as you see in the Modules + the new environment + game engine improvements way beyond the current CM:SF engine's current state at the time.

dan/california Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'll buy whatever they are turning out. BF has the best customer support in the world, period. I just wish they would hire some overseas support for the grunt level coding, but I realize that is a lot easier and cheaper to say than it is to do. While we are talking about long term questions how long will it be before the engine takes advantage of multiple core processors in a major way? I am considering a new computer and wouldn't mind knowing whether to go with two cores or four. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl Steiner Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 On a funny related note, my son saw the Russians referred to as the CIS (Commmonwealth of Independent States) on the news and thought it had something to do with Star Wars. (For all you non Star Wars fans, the CIS is the Confederation of Independent Systems in SW - the main enemy of the Republic in the Clone Wars). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'd love to see the Aussies in a module - although of course the downside is it means the M113 issue will raise its ugly head again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 If BFC won't do a hypothetical Warshaw Pact/Russia vs Nato, then is an Asian setting like Korea or Taiwan the only somewhat realistic temperate setting, isn't it? The possible participians in such a conflict could include NATO, Russia, China, ANZAC & maybe even Japan, so most of the important modern equipment of the last 20-30 years would be available. After that, our loved modders could do nearly each modern setting... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
