Well IF the game turns out ok the manual is a nice plus I guess. Hopefully it will be available via pdf in the game folder also.
LMAO!!! classic Leto posting :laugh:[hirr]Leto;1370460 said:I just cashed in a million dollars in stocks from a previous re-investment of profits from one of my businesses.
I think I may have a bit of dough left over after the cigars and prostitutes to pre-order as well.
Cheers!

It'll be interesting to see which company comes closest to it's announcement date with an actual sale date. That may show which company has a 'real' announcement and not just smoke.You're right. It is supicious looking. Judging from the "production" of the 2 announcements it looks like someone at Matrix got word of an impending BFC announcement and rushed a forum post announcement out to scoop them by a day. These wargamer wars are cut throat indeed. Almost Leno/Letterman-esque.
As Eric the Midget (actor) would say: "Bye for now"
Since you pre-ordered, I decided to wait and see what you think about the game before I fork over my cash.I like the little metal box (no, I was not swayed by the video!) and the notion that I can download on release AND get the hard goods. They seem to be doing things right. No gimmicks. No dumb mouse pads, Nazis on the box, toys, holographic trading cards or other "crap". They had a decent AAR, and I don't think we can claim a premature product release (time will tell, but after three years...)
Seems pretty positive so far.
Oh you pompus pointless f***tards. Just when I thought that BFC had maxed-out the hubris quota of the entire human race for eternity, a hyperventilating Moon goes and ramps it up to eleven.History is being made today!
I left out my comments on the spelling error(s) in the announcement. :laugh:Oh you pompus pointless f***tards. Just when I thought that BFC had maxed-out the hubris quota of the entire human race for eternity, a hyperventilating Moon goes and ramps it up to eleven.
It is not history. It's a computer game.
That does it. It's a clincher. I sincerely hope that BFC disappear up their own a** for good this time.
The appeal of this preorder was the fact that the Canadian dollar is trading so high. Not a huge deal in the end; I mean, I'm probably only saving 5 or 10 dollars even if the dollar really tanks by then. But I do like the looks of the box - it reminds me of the steel box that Band of Brothers comes in, though annoyingly, my shelves are set up for standard jewel cases, so hopefully this will fit in somewhere appropriate.so if BF had special edition WW2 Normandy type action men (with rings) you would buy them?
Nice one Scott, I'm with you there! No pressure MD, just get that detailed review posted here by May :smoke:Since you pre-ordered, I decided to wait and see what you think about the game before I fork over my cash.
WOW! I do hope you wrote that with tongue firmly in cheekFWIW the special box thing is free, it's a gift for doing a preorder so to speak.
In case it isn't obvious, I put in a CMSF order the minute I could reset my password on BFC (again) and while I was at it CMSF:Nato because I want to shoot the ZSU-23. Not that I have an idea whether my CMSF install file (disk?) is still around.
There will be no shortage of good reviews after release for you and Scott - hopefully from this very forum. I will hope to have something significant to say on the subject myself. I appreciate the kind words from both of you.I think MD is in the right place to give an honest and detailed review of the game so it depends a lot on what MD writes whether I buy the game or not.
I'm a supporter of the genre. PzC: Ostfront is coming out for free. Steel Panthers and Close Combat have not changed or been updated substantially in years; their "updates" were actually rehashes. There have been a couple of other titles in the squad-based, company level tactical combat arena that seem to be board-game ports. I'm unaware of any other PC games set in the Second World War that cover this ground.LOL, no matter what they do or have done, BF wins every time with a lot of the guys both here and elsewhere. Some of you havent even seen the game but rush to give them your money after what? 3-4 years of criticism of CMx2.
Whats changed? A little box to put a disk in!
Im convinced that if you dont like CMSF you wont like CMN as the games are near the same and the effects modelling looks almost the same too.
Me, I was always going to buy it as on the whole I like CMSF. I really cant see it being that different from what Ive seen of the games involving Elvis at BF.
Maybe BF should have offered a nice box with CMA? Each to their own I suppose......
Yeah, I'm a bit surprised as well.LOL, no matter what they do or have done, BF wins every time with a lot of the guys both here and elsewhere. Some of you havent even seen the game but rush to give them your money after what? 3-4 years of criticism of CMx2.

Yeah but you see if the game sucks you still have the cool box.LOL, no matter what they do or have done, BF wins every time with a lot of the guys both here and elsewhere. Some of you havent even seen the game but rush to give them your money after what? 3-4 years of criticism of CMx2.
