Alek Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 An open letter from russian-speaking community of "Combat Mission" players "Наш Комбат" ("Nash Kombat"\"Our Battalion Commander"), cmbb.borda.ru, combat-mission.ru We are all the long-term admirers and skilled players of "Combat Mission" series. Some of us were CMBB beta-testers and in the present day we taking part in CMBN beta-tests. We observe copyrights, respect and support the Battlefront.com efforts on new games creation. Therefore we've got the original game copies of the exclusive CIS-publisher - The "Snowball" JSC. And it is unpleasant to us that, because of negligent attitude to own clients and lack of support from publisher's side, now we have following situations: 1. CM:Afganistan - there is no any patch available. The current game version (1.00) is not compatible with english version 1.02. The local patch release is constantly postponed on various pretexts. 2. CM:ShokForce - there is no any patch localized. As a result "Britain Forces" and "Marines" addons (люди, я не знаю правильного названия аддонов, исправьте) are not compatible with each other. The owners of original game (without any addons) are in the same situation - no patches available. Our community is actually cut off from other world, because after all we can't play network games with foreign players. And we believe that such situation also negatively affects game sales in the CIS. That's why we ask to consider the possibility for our members to get english versions of CMSF and CMA instead of russian licenses. We Expect understanding and a symbolical payment for such exchange (we don't want to purchase licenses twice). With respect,combat@combat-mission.ru 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hcrof Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I feel bad for you guys, all that good stuff you are missing out on. As I understand it, Russian speakers don't even have access to NATO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Unfortunately, we are not directly responsible for localized Russian patches. We are seeing what we can do to get these patches out quicker. However, we will take responsibility for the lack NATO. There were delays on the localization side that only recently got cleared up. Unfortunately, this came at a very inconvenient point in our CM:BN programming schedule. So we currently have three things on very temporary hold: CM:A v1.03 patch CM:SF v1.33 patch CM:SF NATO for Russian market (it is tied in with the v1.33 patch) The good news is that our schedule will soon have time to complete these tasks. In fact, we plan on starting on the NATO patch next week. And no... this doesn't mean CM:BN is finished next week All it means is there's a planned lull in the programming side of CM:BN that won't affect CM:BN's release timeframe.

DMS Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 CM:SF NATO for Russian market (it is tied in with the v1.33 patch) Glad to hear it! I hope CMSF NATO for Russian market will be compatible with british and marines modules. But it is a question to Snowball, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 There is SO much programming talent in East Europe and Russia. You guys are astounding. Have you fellows ever thought about reviving the Combat Missions project that would revive the CM1 series? All we've ever wanted was a system to create an operational/strategic "shell" for the tactical CM1 games that would act as a scenario generator. Sadly, the original developers got waaaay over their heads in attempting to produce a standalone operational game with its own AI etc - it was a much too ambitious effort and collapsed under its own weight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Glad to read about the upcoming release of CM:SF V 1.33. I shall then be able to go ahead on some project involving German NATO assets, if by the time it comes I am not entirely taken by CM:BN 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis1973 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 So, another half of year passed. But nothing changed in situation with CMSF and CMA games... Could BF team be so gracious to consider the possibility for our community members to get English version of CMA instead of Russian ones for a symbolical payment? We speak about no more than dozen customers, and they can share a single license even between 4 men. We still can offer a beta-testing, feedback, information and translation help as for existed as for planned BF's CM titles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I hope next time Battlefront will choose another publisher in Russia. No patches, modules are not compatible... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
