Michael Dorosh Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 The mouse pads sound like an awesome idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zoidberg Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Going to wait for a comment from BFC. Specifically if they'll be doing their own download on release and have a copy mailed to you at the same time deal. Unfortunately last order I had with Paradox was not quite satisfactory, though I think they have since worked on that. But yeah, the boxed copy preorders from Paradox are available now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Preordered mine! If BTS comes through with a better arrangement, I'll simply cancel my preorder and go with the devs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikoyanPT Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I like to buy my vegetables directly from the producers. I downloaded ToW from battlefront and received my hardcopy by mail in Portugal, everything worked fine. So i will buy my CM:SF vitamins from Battlefront again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hi guys, our preorders will be launching soon. I think on monday at the latest. We will have two options for pre-orders this time: -regular version (download & mail) with the game and printed 200 page manual for $45 plus shipping. You will be able to download the game early on release date (we will email all pre-order customers first before officially announcing that the game can be downloaded) and will receive the hardgoods in the mail automatically. You save $10 over what this option will cost after pre-orders are closed. If you only want the download and not the hardgoods, then you should wait until the official release. - deluxe version (download & mail) with all of the above plus the mousepad plus a poster with the Syrian campaign map for $60 plus shipping. Again, you save $10 over what this option will cost later. The deluxe option is not available as download only (duh...) Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konstantine Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 The deluxe option is great. Looking forward to watching my wife roll her eyes when I tack that map to the study wall. that's not staying up there. Actually, I'm stronger than you, so, it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, you save $10 over what this option will cost later. The deluxe option is not available as download only (duh...) Martin Martin, (or someone else from BTS) can you elaborate on the Syria map? My question is from the game's point of view - how practically usefull the map will be? For Falcon 4 map of Korea was obviously usefull. For Lockon map of Caucasus and Crimea (if one was sold) would obviously be nice too. But for ground tactical simulation? This is beside the point that such a map would have really nice aesthetic value to have on the wall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denwad Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 when do pre-orders end? i get paid on the 6th 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pad152 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Any word on the demo? Now days you need a demo just to see if a game will even run on your system 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi guys, here's a quick peek: The mousepad shows the main commands used in the game and how they're arranged in the various command panels, plus some of the most important icons, e.g. for weapons, command link types etc. That stuff can be very useful! Put it on the wall - the invasion plan for Syria, including all units participating (Allies and Syria). Great if you want to make some user campaigns in the editor. The game is focussing on the advance of one Task Force (Task Force Thunder) which is represented by the third arrow from the bottom, effectively splitting the country from Iraq all the way through to Hims. To answer the question posted above: You only get one key if you pre-order, but as mentioned above, each key gives you two concurrent activations anyway.

patboy Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi Martin, I get four computers at home one for me and others for my kids, if I download the game, can I install CMSF on each ? Or must I wait for the copy like I already did with CMBO, BB & AK ? Thanks to clear me ? Pat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 So Turkey has given the U.S. permission to use its territory as jump off points for the invasion this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 very nice, I also see an amphibious landing, presumably for the USMC module? The attack from Turkey is interesting, I presume that would be for the NATO forces not in IRAQ (i.e. Canada, Germany, Netherlands) ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roter Stern Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Is the game online download/purchase only or will it be available in retail stores as well? And if so, how realistic is it to expect to see shelf-fulls of CMSF copies on the 27th - specifically in Ontario, if that makes any difference? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
