argie Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi, Ales. ¿Message too short? What is this, the anti-Tweeter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 That's one reason I type my name at the bottom. That's seven characters right there. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExurbanKevin Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 My G4 iBook bit the the dust a few years ago, so I've been living vicariously by lurking in the forums and drooling over the screenshots of CMSF, so the news that my favourite wargame will be coming back to my favourite computer fills me with boundless glee. And even better, my seven year old son has discovered "Greatest Tank Battles" on the Military Channel and has become a bit of a trackhead himself, so now he is looking forward to CMBN as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkWGriswold Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I just tried CMSF on my MacBook Pro (2008-ish) via BootCamp. Looks like I'm going to be saving my pennies for a new iMac. I hear rumors that new models may be coming out late this month or perhaps May. That should coincide nicely with the Mac release of CMBN. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futon river crossing Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Still no Mac pre-order? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Still no Mac pre-order? Not yet. Any day now. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJJ Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 How are those few "few infrastructural things in the background" working out? 26 days now ... is another public update/statement possible for the OSX folks? Not yet. Any day now. Michael Sorry, posted while Michael was posting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Chung Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Now that BFC have had almost of month to mull over the exact date for official release of CMBN since the announcement for pre-orders on 10 March, is there now a definite date for release? End of April is a little over three weeks from now. Finally, announcing the pre-orders for the Mac version wouldn't go amiss either.

futon river crossing Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 So - us Mac folk are undeserving of an official response from battlefront? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkWGriswold Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Every time I see this thread bump to the top, I excitedly jump in only to find it's yet another "is it time yet?" question, rather than a "It's time, guys!" reply. Quit bumping the thread! You guys are just boosting my expectations, only to have them come crashing down around me again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I imagine that when the Mac version becomes available there will be a sticky announcement at the top of the page. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Springelkamp Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Again.... So Mr. Moon, is there anything new? So a general announcement is not good enough for you, you demand a personal word about it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 They're working on it guys. "When it's ready" and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Moon mentioned that the Mac version was being prepared "out of house" and attributed the delay to that. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Moon mentioned that the Mac version was being prepared "out of house" and attributed the delay to that. Slight correction... Moon said that a third party was involved in some of the infrastructural necessities for content delivery and purchasing, etc., and that when those were finished pre-orders would commence. The Mac version itself is being done in-house. Normal Dude's got it right - when it's time there will be an announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Pre-ordering does not make the game get released any faster, believe me . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ales Dvorak Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 So a general announcement is not good enough for you, you demand a personal word about it? Which general announcement? This one:"Mac users! The game will be available for both the PC platform as well as Mac OS X. Today, we are launching pre-orders for the PC version only! If you are interested in purchasing the Mac OS X version, please wait until we open pre-orders separately for it in the next weeks. The Mac OS X version is currently scheduled to be released not too long after the PC version." or this one:"The main thing holding back Mac pre-orders is not the game itself (the Mac beta is pretty much up to date with the PC version), but a few infrastructural things in the background that need to happen for content delivery, purchases etc. We rely on a third party to finish coding these, and as soon as it is, we will be able to launch Mac pre-orders. Hopefully not too long anymore (the original target date was the end of this month, although it's already clear that we won't make that)." Me want personal word about it?....naaahhh....it was a joke Love Alice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Yes, well, seeing as in this case "in-house" means "me" I'm not likely to forget things like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Good, in which case we'll know who to blame if it goes pear-shaped. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymru Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 As one of the very early players of CMBO I remember the slogan "if we drop any platform, it will not be the Mac". It has seemed pretty hollow for the last decade but maybe we will finally get our reward for waiting. I just hope it does not turn out to be watered-down version of the Windows game, and always a couple of builds behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
