sawomi Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 [...] Now, let all those who PRE-ordered CM:BO raise their hands... *big hand up* ...The shock when you had ordered the gold version and found only the manual in the arrived package. Achtung Spoiler! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... Then the satisfaction at time of discovery that the CD was inside the manual ... in a paper case... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Schultz Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I lucked into this. Left after CMAK figuring they would go down the timeline(they did). Last week I thought to check up and see how the folks at Battlefront are doing.. and if they were ever planning to go back to WWII with maybe a new engine. I don't think I could have timed this better if I had tried. Pre-order in. I cannot wait to get my hands on the map editor. ....

Boo Radley Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I haven't play CMBB in a long time. It won't run on my new machine. neither will CMBB. Yes, but how about CMBB? Are you still playing that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yes, but how about CMBB? Are you still playing that? This is not the thread to make fun of me in. Keep it in the Cesspool This was a simple typo, I meant to type CMBB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Keth Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Old?!? I like to think of it as well-preserved, especially given all of the high ABV potables I have brewed and consumed of late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cull Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 What ever happened to Mad Matt?? Yeah, I was wondering that too. It seems like I may have known at one point, but now I've forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Now, let all those who PRE-ordered CM:BO raise their hands. I'm pretty sure I did. I got the lithograph of the Panther and that went out only to the pre-orderers, right? I've still got that around here somewhere. I came across it a couple of years ago. I think it might still be rolled up in its mailing tube. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah, I was wondering that too. It seems like I may have known at one point, but now I've forgotten. I raised that question a few months back and somebody came up with a link to the company he now works for. Try searching the GF under his name and mine and the thread might come up.

bobo Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I, for one, can't wait to check out this game, and am looking forward to a RoW tournament. Mike (another 'old-timer') Nice join date! 1999.... Wow! Only 130 posts? Bobo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von shrad Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Who ya callin old sonnie? In my day we'd gather our wooden nickles for a Combat Mission:Beyond Overlord winner take all. Heck we'd even play while listening to the phonograph sippin our sassafras cola. We'd send our troops to the VP's and back, uphill both ways. Those were the days.

shredder Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 It does feel good to be back. I was so disgusted that battlefront was charging five bucks for a patch to play CM1 on windows 7 that I refused to give them a dime for shock force, but can't resist the lure of a WW 2 based sequel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to watch Matlock Just think... if your great grandkids pitched in they could probably get you a fancy new van with a built in video player in the back seat to watch Matlock on. I wonder if they make a model with a drool cup? Failing that, I'm sure one of the dozen cup holders could be modified. Welcome back.

Broken Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Great to see so many of the familiar names back. Amazed that so many are still playing CM1. I loved that series, but I hit the wall in 2004. CMSF was very good, but just didn't hit the same gut resonance somehow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Cool. First time someone remembers my old nickname. Was here all the time. Posting or lurking, playing pbem all the time. Still open for more pbem. Send mail to adress posted above if you like. (I always try to get at least one turn out for all my opponents daily] It scares me how many nicknames I remember. Yours is one of them. When my wife asks me why I can't remember to get milk on the way home, or somefink, I guess I can blame the gobs of gray goo that are tied up remembering Forum names!

Bergerbitz Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Waitwaitwait...Mad Matt is gone? When did this happen? Why wasn't I consulted? First Dorosh and then Matt...who else can I poke fun at?

BloodyBucket Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 .... Amazed that so many are still playing CM1. I loved that series, but I hit the wall in 2004. CMSF was very good, but just didn't hit the same gut resonance somehow. I know what you mean. I started fooling around with CMBO for the first time in quite awhile when I heard CMBN was in the offing. As dated as it obviously is at this point, I'm reminded of just how stunning it was to see a game that took the best elements of tactical board war games, threw in a dash of plastic army guys, and mixed it with a healthy dose gear-head geeky goodness. It was like some guy reached in my brain and pulled out the computer game that I'd always wished for. It's always going to be hard to top that initial wow factor. The modern themed stuff just doesn't float my boat the same way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
