Sergei Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Mr.Picky would note that Brits being the red and French the blue would be more correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I've been watching that new show on the Military Channel, Tour of Duty, and it's got me really excited about the Brit Module. If you haven't watched it, check it out. I'd definitely like to see the Paras included. And maybe one of these for the insurgents. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASL Veteran Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 yeah, I guess that's more historically accurate . I would just want the French as the OPFOR vs US units. I wonder if anyone has fought any US Army vs US Marines battles yet for bragging rights. Just pretend your pixeltruppen are wearing MILES gear. I'm probably a little biased, but I'm confident the Army would stomp all over the Marines. (you can fight blue on blue right? Just ordered yesterday) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Marines are currently in the process of beating the skit out of Elvis' grunts. Too bad that their commander cannot send the correct files... Syrian vs. Syrian is fun too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him know that the eyes of all US Army veterans are upon him and that we would be profoundly shamed and disappointed if he lost to the ... cough cough ... Marines . I wonder how well the British could hold off a Marine assault on the southern coast of England! Time for some payback for burning down Washington DC during the War of 1812. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 You're a little out of date there Sivodsi, Jackal has been rapidly distributed to the rest of the Army and the LMG has been in service with the whole army since 2003! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 You're a little out of date there Sivodsi, Well, no surprise there. Jackal has been rapidly distributed to the rest of the Army and the LMG has been in service with the whole army since 2003! "para" doesn't mean specifically for paratroopers? Oh well, I suppose it doesn't mean that we won't get them, unless you can see equipment that para's definately have but are absent from the list. So, my question is, does the equipment listed thus far rule out the possibility of there being paratroopers in CMSF: Brits? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 The Para designation on the Minimi means short barrel and retractable stock, which is the model issued across the British army. From what I can see it doesn't look like the Paras would necessarily be left out. They're really not very different to "normal" infantry in terms of equipment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergerbitz Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 You know, this British module just might be enough for me to buy CMSF. I've just downloaded the CMSF demo now (yeah, I've really held out for a while) and have been trying the game out in earnest. It's not bad. Not bad at all. Maybe I'll even get the Marines module as well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I would imagine that one of the 'surprises' included in the Brit Pack will be the US Light Infantry formation and maybe some more US stuff. Otherwise, a lot of Americans just aren't going to buy it. I'm not expecting to see anything new for the Syrian side as the CM:SF title is ablout Modern Era combat against Syria and not against Russia or China or anybody else. However, I will be disappointed if they don't give the Syrians some trucks. There is absolutely no good reason for denying them to the Syrians other than the time it takes for BFC to 'code them in'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSX Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 As all Brit formations use the same weapons you can create and imagine any Para or marine scenario, just as you can for the US side. As an aside that may not be modelled in the game, the L85A2 sling is possibly the best thing ever attached to a battle rifle anywhere, a truly innovative piece of kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinnedpuppy Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Looking through the exciting list of kit for the British module, I notice you are still listing the L86A2 as the Light Support Weapon (LSW), as it was found to be totaly unsuited to this role it's now in use as the squads Designated Marksmans Rifle (DMR). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP76er Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Sold!! Oops, not for sale yet. I know you guys are wincing at being bugged about when the module will be released by all of us. I promise to wait until right before Christmas. Joking aside, I can't wait for the Brits to arrive! The game just keeps getting better. Great job Battlefront. I love music. Let's see how old our British mates on the forum are in a musical question. How many here still carry the spirit of Alex Harvey? Yes, I'm old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say Americans would not be interested in the British expansion unless it had American military surprises. I for one (American) don't care if the US is in it or not and would in fact rather see more foreign updates to reflect multinational forces. I'd be more likely to want the module if it had French, German, Belgian or whatever units than more toys for the US military. That's just me though, ya could be right! With the conflict being hypothetical there are a few ways they could go. Maybe the Russians send some new equipment to Syria? Maybe Iran gets involved at some point (opens another front or something)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Marshal Blücher Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Like Atago, I'm 100% American and really don't care if there's any US stuff. I want the IBCT TO&E, but it's not even close to a deal-breaker for me if it's not in the Brits module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 How many here still carry the spirit of Alex Harvey? Ah, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band... 'Isabel Goudie' and 'They're burning Big Louie tonight' spring instantly to mind. I had forgotten about him until you mentioned him so later I'll have to do a search on Youtube to see if some of his music is up there. BTW, I'm not OLD... yet. With regards to my 'lots of Americans won't buy it' comment, the key phrase is 'lots of'. I have no doubt that some of you are as eager to buy and play this as I am as well. But BFC are in this business to make money so it makes sense for them to include some new US stuff to encourage these others to buy it too. And I don't care as long as the Brits are done properly. Then I'll definitely return to playing and designing stuff for Blue forces. BTW, it's a bit of a joke that we're going into the CMWW2 title AFTER the Yanks. Talk about rewriting history. With regards to Syrian stuff, yeah, sure, there's a lot that could go in but I'm pretty sure Steve hasn't changed his mind since he last stated that Syria already has 'more that they have in real life'. They might not even have a single T-90 in service yet so we're probably already in Lah-lah land as far as Syria is concerned. They're going to save up the good Russian stuff for CMSF2 in a temperate setting so don't hold your breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for "Zalvation". It's a fairly new live CD with the singing being done by "Mad Max". He does a great job at vocals. He doesn't try to reinvent anything & doesn't try to sound like Alex but he does pay great homage to Alex. Excellent CD to pick up. I don't drink anymore but "Big Louie" was a great song to sing along with when I did. You'll like the "Isabel Goudie" version on the new CD. The boys hit it. I don't care if there is American equipment in the British module. I'm 100% American & I will buy is as soon as it comes out in preorder. I want to be able to try out other counties equipment. New toys makes ya happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpheart23 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 So BF can we get some screenshots or some kind of info as to how complete the module is. I know it's done when it's done, but there has to be some kind of idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not different equipment, I rather think its the same stuff weve been playing with all along but in a different uniform. Not that it particularly bothers me one way or the other, but lets get some perspective here. New equipment here simply means a new skin. Ive not read anything here from anyone that says the contrary. Still, looking forward to playing with the Brit skins though, should be fun. Especially brit Vs US. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Did anybody else notice that there's a spot on the repository for the Brit module already? Maybe it's closer than we think. Well, knock me sideways with a feather. You're right. It's also featured in the top bar on their homepage too. I'm actually starting to get excited. Maybe it will be here for Christmas... And it looks like onboard mortars will be included too since the L9A1 (51mm Mortar) is listed under small arms and weapons rather than artillery support. Cool... Of course, if this allows us to use mortars onboard, BFC will have to patch the game to allow non-Brit pack owners to have this option as well (v1.2?). And we might finally see those US 60mm mortars that were included among the promotional screenshots too. Not to mention the M270Bi MLRS artillery module too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
