Woke up at 11:45 and found that the dl had finished. Installed in a few minutes. Started the training battle. Looked around. Back to bed.
You are joking, right? If not, then you are implying that they held off past the May 9th announced date for PC:O and then, steely-eyed, sat through the night of the 10th to 11th gambling against the odds that somehow.. some way.. PC:O would be pushed back one more day to the 12th. Then BAM they dropped their bomb the night before in a well planned mission that took nerves of steel to execute!!!They want that demo out at the same time PCO goes on sale in the morning. That's why.
Yeah, I know Elvis...just another BFC coincidence is all...............
I need to read that quote by Steve again where BFC never heard of PCO....yeah right, and pigs fly too.
I just hope they were ready to release their demo/game. It looks like another rush job at the moment.
Good Hunting.

Sounds like only one mirror had a corrupted version which seems to be fixed and I'd guess that it wasn't neccesarily anyone from BFC's fault.What morons. 100%, tin-plated, pinecone-brained morons.

You are obviously trying way too hard here.They want that demo out at the same time PCO goes on sale in the morning. That's why.

So your conclusion is a little baffling, care to explain why they are so thoroughly stupid?
Whoa, easy there big fella. Must be that degree in Communications getting in the way...I know it is being nitpicky, but it jumps right out at you as the first thing you see. I can only assume they spent the extra year and a half working on little details...and that's the first one I see. More to follow....
I find the one in History comes in handier when it comes to historical research.Whoa, easy there big fella. Must be that degree in Communications getting in the way...
I took part at a battle reenactment in 2004 for the anniversary of D-Day with a running Sherman, and again on VE Day. Last year for our Regimental Centennial, part of the parade included a roll past with an M4A2E8. I've also been in the field with, and ridden in, Grizzly AVGPs, in the LAV family. To my ear, they sound pretty similar. In fact, I laughed out loud coming back from the range when we got close to the armouries, riding in the back of a Grizzly, and I heard the turn signals. GM made parts common to both the Grizzly, and our city buses, so the whine of the engine and then the turn signals were identical.Im no Sherman engine Grog but Im sure they didnt sound like a Stryker.
After all the requests to increase draw distance in CMBN, and what BFC & beta testers have said about improved LOD, that is quite surprising. Will check it out later.Although the terrain draw for grass etc seems even less than in CMSF.

haha! because we are all WPE suffers and all of know that only the German Whermacht(sp) spellings are important (Kompanie, Tigers, Fallschirmjagers(sp) and all that). Who cares about the Allied forces!I woke up, also found download had finished. It installed VERY quickly. There are two missions in addition to the training mission. One is set in the Battle of Normandy (June 6 to July 24) and the other is set in the Breakout (July 25 to Aug). Nice touch. However, the little blurb for the Normandy one says that "Echo Company" of the 116th Infantry Regiment...
Wrong, of course. That is NATO phonetics which didn't exist until well after the war. Company E at the time would have been known as "Easy Company".
Not an auspicious start for the "most realistic wargame ever made." They also abbreviated Company as "COY" which is the Commonwealth abbreviation. So either George or JonS or someone did the blurb for this. The Americans abbreviate it as "Co." Funny, because they take the pains to use the German language spelling of Kompanie in the same sentence. I know it is being nitpicky, but it jumps right out at you as the first thing you see. I can only assume they spent the extra year and a half working on little details...and that's the first one I see. More to follow....
EDIT - the scenario briefing also makes reference to FOXTROT company, also a postwar designation. During the war, this was simply "Fox" Company. They never changed these until after the Korean War, to the best of my knowledge - 10 years or so later.
No, I'm not joking!You are joking, right?

ROFL!!!Is this really what you're saying? Instead of the demo (and/or game) finishing up a little later than the time they said it would be done 2 months ago?
I as going to assume you are just kidding around...
