phil stanbridge Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Great to hear there will be 3 campaigns - I particularly like picture 16, with the infantry crossing the river. Looks pretty realistic. I can imagine interesting fire fights taking place on the river banks there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmar Bijlsma Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I gotta say, these latest screenies really have the Normandy look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPB II Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I don't know what BFC has done but everything looks so lush and vivid in these latest screenies...Not much left of the "pool table" look in some early shots. I don't think I've ever been this hyped about a game before...Come to think of it, I find this peculiar...It seems the real world is taking the back seat and everything is moving towards CMBN, what is this primal reaction... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Huggy Face Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 The new shots look great. Terrain looks good and looks ripe for ambushes. Stay low, soldier. Pre-ordered before I saw these, but they might have pushed me over the edge if I hadn't. Like what I've been reading, too. Look forward to my copy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail, who were good little dogfaces, went down the lane to gather blackberries, but Tube Guy®, who was very naughty, ran straight away to M. MacGregor's garden.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Bombs Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Are the guys in the second shot dead or taking cover? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Are the guys in the second shot dead or taking cover? They are "cowering". Basically they are doing nothing useful except trying to stay alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVulture Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Does anyone know what the the US tracked vehicle in picture 11? I managed to figure out the other vehicle I didn't recognise (pic 8 - looks like it is an M8 howitzer), but not sure about pic 11. Looks like it is fully tracked (so unlikely to be a halftrack then ) and has some resemblance to a Sherman chassis, but looks to have no turret and an open topped passenger section. Can anyone enlighten me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodkin Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Good to see some of the German troops are now wearing ankle boots which I believe Steve said they would try to do in the future, but looks like it's made it into the first release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I noticed that. Very happy that they have mixed them together (ankle and full length) rather than go either/or. They have really pushed the boat out with this release and it shows. Great work guys! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 VERY impressive. I do wonder why the Stug is sporting what looks like desert camo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George MC Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I will never understand why Battlefront dont use max. settings + AA for the Screenshots... The screenies were taken by a Beta Tester using a debug version of the game exe whilst he was testing and designing this campaign. All the testers are using their own machines with varying capabilities. I've found that the debug version tends to eat up more memory in your PC when running the game. So depending on how powerful your PC/graphics card is you tend to get a variation in the quality of screen shots. This means on larger maps )or maps with lots' going on e.g. lot's of units and combat) the game will step down the settings, hence you get some screen shots where the models are not at their super best. Once the Beta Testers stop using the Beta version of the game with it's debug you'll see crisper shots I'm sure. But then you'll probably be playing the game yourself then... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakai007 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 The SPG in the pic is not an M7, it is an M8 HMC (Howitzer Motor Carriage) with the 75mm/L16 main gun. Your general HE chucker mounted on an M3 Stuart chassis. And might I add it looks B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!! EDIT: My mistake, should read the whole post sometimes, eh? The first is the M8 as you identified, and the second is in fact the M7 as was mentioned, and they are both going to be married to me shortly after release, normally the Priest would officiate such an event but since she is one of the ones being married, Tube Guy ® will be doing the ceremony 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leakyD Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 LOVE the shadows on the M8 and just the overall immersion. Thanks, BFC. The wait has been quite worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
