Sequoia Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I thought I’d do a wish list for flavor objects for the “Normandy” game while we’re still able to influence the development process. A wish list was done for CMSF after the initial release but by that time it was already too late for either technical reasons such as scenario compatibility or having it just be too low a priority. First here is a list of CMSG flavor objects and how they might relate to CM Normandy. Item: Air conditioners -not needed ATM –not needed Barrel- Need wood barrel, not blue plastic Bench- what we have now is a bus stop bench which we don’t need. Maybe a simpler wooden one? Low priority Trash Bin-not needed Crate- needed Oil Drum- certainly less common. Would be useful around a fuel depot. Junk- always need junk. Fountain- small fountains certainly much less common. A big one might be useful but low priority. Would it cease being a flavor object if it was large? Pallets- less common but still useful. Logs- needed Manhole-useful. Road signs- needed but made of wood of course. Poles- these are the short metal ones. I don’t think they existed. Pond- low priority. Rock- needed. Sack- very useful Street lights- different style but certainly needed. Tires- replace with wagon wheel? Bus Shelter- probably not needed. Stump- needed Traffic light- certainly less common and different style. Telephone pole- needed. Next we have items that were on people’s CMSF wish lists in these forums: Dead Cows- would be cool and is actually a running joke on these forums along with the cowbells. Haystacks. Too big to be a flavor object? Out houses- certainly present but would it really be a very small unenterable building that can block line of sight Horse wagons/carts- same as above. Water trough- useful Well- hand water pump- certainly nice to have- could a well provide cover? Clothes line with clothes hanging- Plough Tractor- too big for a flavor object? Pile of fire wood Abandoned but not destroyed cars- again too big? Suggested new terrain types/objects: Cemetary with headstones. Leaf layer for woods. Plowed earth wheat fields Vineyards Wood fence Wrought iron fence. Hedge Apple trees Thanks to Mord for many of these suggestions. What would you add to our wish list? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstars Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Downed Gliders, Rommel's Asparagus, and Paratrooper detritus are my top wants. Oh yeah, and a calvados still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny(FGM) Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 The ubiquitous piano. Exactly! How else could we possibly simulate this well known historical engagement, the game would of course be broke without it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 For the love of a fake god, just don't forget the cow and especially the cowbell. Otherwise, your fired! :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Belenko Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Will there be sounds of running water around streams and creeks? Waves crashing on the beaches? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Some sort of poster/sign, which could be attached to building walls - similar to the way the ATM works now. If it could be done, some larger signs for upper floors could be used to create stores and such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I see these lists and it almost seems there's some objection to bringing France into the 20th century, Usually no mention of filling station pumps, road signs, advertisements, train crossing gates (if France had train crossing gates). Too bad BFC is (probably) gun shy about using contemporary product logos. There's a famous photo of a father dragging his two daughters to safety between two Shermans at a Shell filling station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 ...Now leaning out of the hayloft and waving her underwear at the liberators. :cool: Michael ...But sadly all this time in the hayloft with no bathroom and no toilet paper, her panties have horrible skid marks. Not a deal breaker for sure, but still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mace Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 If you really want (bad) flavor options then C-rations need to be modeled. =/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
