Gryphonne Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 That was friggin amazing Had a great time and CMBN feels like I hoped it would! The details are beautiful! I loved the trees, building and general setting. It felt a lot more lively than CMSF and the maps are so natural looking compared to CMx1 that it feels like something out of real photographs. I think that everyone who is waiting for this WW2 re-visit based on the new CM series will really enjoy this game. I thouroughly enjoyed playing around with the QB generator (felt like the good old days of cherry picking, but with a more realistic topping) and playing around with several of the vehicles! Needless to say, StuGs and Panthers are a lot of fun! Had some good head to head action going as well, and the environment felt a lot less insta-gib lethal than CMSF for example It simply felt like an ultra detailed version of CMBO, and personally, I think that's a great thing Thanks for the great time guys and thanks for the hospitality again Dave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krilly Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 At home at last :-) first off, it was all nicely organized. There was a big ass beamer set up for those not able to play, and there were 3 machines to play cm:bn on, David and Jurrie had it setup beautifully. Great work guys. How was cm;bn? It is smashtastic :-). You have all seen the pretty screenshots, but swooping down The camera to streetlevel will give you 'Movielike scenes' like every time. It is a joy to see squads move about, acting natuarly and seeking cover. Infantry movement and combat feels very organic and I think it will likely be here that cm:bn Will show the greatest improvement in relation to the cmx1 series. Oh and the vehicles look great :-). We spend some time oogling vehicles, and especially the little variations like shurzen are nice. Trackheads rejoice because they look great We spend some time playing some evil scenario's, a score made by David and Jurrie themselves. There are some surprises, which I will not spoil, but the scenario's gave us the opportunity to see a lot of interesting tactical situations, and of course for them to see a live test of their work. Some remarks; panthers cream shermans, stugs like to turkeyshoot halftracks, and airstrikes sound and look awesome. :-D. The QB is a blast and I solo-played one against the AI on a very pretty pre-made map, in the fog. I played an mechanized american force with some greyhounds, halftracks and m8's against unknown german forces. It turned out to be a german mechanized force as well and in the end there quite some burning greyhounds and hanomags on the field. I had a blast. Oh, and the QB let's you cherrypick or autopick, it's nice. We encountered some problems as well, head to head suffered from some networking problems and we encountered a German bunker which couldn,t be supressed with even with half the american army firing at it. But I am sure those will be adressed soonish. All in all the game feels very close to finished, it is stunnningly beautifull at times, feels very realistic and above all is a blast to play. Damnit I wants to have it. I wants it now! My precious.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
