RommL Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Does the game combat mission Afghanistan will be in multilangages? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Well... don't believe everything you read Stingers aren't going to happen. Sometimes reviewers add their own list of things (we had one say US Army IBCT has LAV IIIs ), other times there is some miscommunication with the developer. All I can say is we still haven't coded air to ground combat. Also, that is an old release date. It shouldn't be much later than Sept 18. Steve Will we be seeing an official anouncement soon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hcrof Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 What sort of BTR-80 is that? An artillery observation vehicle? It definately isn't the stock version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanker15 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 What sort of BTR-80 is that? An artillery observation vehicle? It definately isn't the stock version. It looks like the artillery observation model with the optics suite removed and the normal turret attached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomir Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 IMHO it looks perfectly like some version of the BTR-80 K1Sh1 (GAZ-59032) command post vehicle. Notice the bigger hull than the usual BTR-80(GAZ-5903). A picture of a BTR-80 in the GAZ-59032 baseline: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcrof Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Yep, thats the one! Its a weird setup though, with a turret in the middle of the work area and no extendable tent. Its also very low - I wouldn't want to have to work in one! Edit- Oh yeah, the reason why I didn't think it was command post in the first place. Where is the antenna farm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Ah, thanks for bumping this thread. I looked for it yesterday and couldn't locate it down the topic list. It seems whenever BFC dares post an initial release date 'guesstimate' you should add at least a month and a half to the date - going on past precedent. People should start a pool to bet which title will come out first! I'm curious whether BFC will go the whole nine yards on the Snowball title. I mean the website and screenshots and its own mod/scenario section in Repository. Sure its their game engine, but its Snowball's baby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcrof Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Looking at the official website I think they are saying autumn 2009. "Дата выхода: осень 2009 года" Can anyone confirm that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicdain Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I even found this: "появится в продаже 23 октября 2009 года" = "will go on sale Oct. 23, 2009". But I guess they mean the russian version. The english version will be released later or at the same time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smaragdadler Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 That's correct. ...and begin of autumn was yersterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 No beta tester hints on this title, "the usual suspects" had nothing to do with putting this game together. Which makes me doubly-curious on what its going to be like. The Russian designers may have esthetics and standards entirely different from the BFC guys. We may gasp at what they eventually come up with - in a good way, and perhaps in a bad way too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavicula_Nox Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'm excited for this. I haven't read through the whole thread so I'm sorry if this was already answered, but will it be fully compatible with other modules?

Battlefront.com Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 We will release patches as needed, just like any other product we carry. The difference is that feature improvements are unlikely because at this point we're moving onto Normandy. Afghanistan will have the same basic code as CM:SF v1.21, plus a few other things which might sneak in at the last minute. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Steiner Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'm intrigued to know how historically accurate the CM:Afghanistan game will be. Will it portray actual Soviet operations that took place during their invasion and occupation of that country, or will all the stand-alone and campaign scenarios be "apocryphal" battles merely representative of the sorts of engagements which took place? I'm really keen on military history and would pay good money for this title if it stays objective and sticks to the historical facts. I'm sure all the media reports we got in the West at the height of the Cold War were as much propaganda as anything, so something that redresses the balance without swinging too far the other way would be great. I am also quite surprised to find myself wanting to play the Soviets and beat the Mujahideen. How do others feel? I think this is down to 9/11 and the "War on Terror" making me feel the West supported the wrong side back then! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Alex, that is definitely not a repost. From what (very) little I can gleen from the Snowball site the title is either going to go til the '89 Russian withdrawal or all the way til Taliban overthrow of the Afghan government in '92 (I had to check wikipedia for the Afghanistan war timeline). If the latter is the case that could make for three years of VERY funky post-withdrawal battles among opposing Afghans. A 3rd party scenario designer could get very creative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
