pkjsmith Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 hi can you clarify a few things for me please ! 1. i would like to preorder nato but i see there is no way to pre order as download only, i live in UK so the shipping is a bit higher and if all i am going to get is a cd in a normal case with no nicely printed manual, then i would like to pre order download only, just so i get an email when it is ready to download. 2. what will i be getting as a hard copy of nato ? with it being a moduel, because if i am going to get all the goodies like i got with base game and marines then i will buy the hard copy, but if i am only going to get a CD in a normal CD case like british then i will order download only. 3. what will i get as a hard copy of CMA ? as i take it it will be with all the goodies as it is a base game so should come with the manual and in a nice box, or am i mistaken ? please can i have a official reply as i am waiting to buy CMA but would like clarification first. thanks paul 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 pkjsmith, you can see what a product includes exactly (manual, no manual, what type of box, CD or DVD etc.) when you go to www.battlefront.com/store, select the game you want, and then select the delivery method you want. For your convenience, I'll summarize here: 1. There is no way to pre-order "download only". There is no point because you won't be able to download any sooner than when it's released (nor would it be any cheaper), so we are not offering this option. 2. NATO will be, like British Forces, a jewel case with CD. No printed manual. 3. Afghanistan comes in a DVD style amaray box with CD inside. There is no printed manual. For one, at $35 for this game it would be too expensive to print a 200 page manual. But secondly, the manual also does not differ so much from the CMSF manual - at least not in the game mechanics etc. - so we felt less need to print the whole thing this time around (*). Sounds like you should be going for "download only" based on your preferences. Just make sure to make local backups of the games you download (e.g. burn to disc etc.) because we do not offer infinite digital storage for your games, and your downloads will expire after 365 days. Martin *) (but, Normandy of course will have a fully printed manual again) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 PKJ...The first thing I always do after installing a DLed game or module is to burn the install EXE to a disc along with a word file of the Key gen number. I also send myself an email with the key gen for the game on it and save it to a folder online. That way I am always safe. As cheap as CDRs are you could even do a couple just to be extra safe. Lots of people wait and end up losing something and come back here seeking help so it's best in my eyes, to do it right away...once you know your DLed is clean and works.

Vergeltungswaffe Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 That's the only thing holding up release. They can't agree on a name. Where is Madmatt when you need him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Madmatt has gone back to being a night club bouncer. He couldn't handle the rowdy forum crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finalcut Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I think they should have released it June 6th in Honor of the men who landed on the beaches that fateful day.If it wasn't ready they should have skipped sleep and just worked extra hard to get it done.(I should not give them any ideas,they may decide to wait till next june 6th) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satan Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have order NATO and want to order CMA but when i go to order charges full shipping price. Does anyone know if you can stagger the order for the shipping discount, or do you have to order them both at once to register for the discount? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have order NATO and want to order CMA but when i go to order charges full shipping price. Does anyone know if you can stagger the order for the shipping discount, or do you have to order them both at once to register for the discount? I assume you are referring to the Shipping&Handling savings mentioned on the website? If you order both NATO and CMA at the same time, then you will save S&H for the second item. This is between $9 to $19, depending on where you live. This is nothing new, and in fact applies to any order with more than one game in it. What happens is that our store charges a base S&H for "mail delivery" options, which is between $10 (US) and $20 (Europe). But for each additional product beyond the first, only $1 is added. So if you buy two games, you'll only be paying $11 to $21, respectively, thus saving between $9 and $19 on S&H for the second game when compared to buying two games separately. I know it sounds a bit complicated but it really isn't if you think about it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
