Battle of the Bulge

Maybe I missed someone else's post but thought it odd, no one was talking about this...

Nice to see some skins and mention of US tank riders. Me being me I have criticisms but I will keep them to myself...

Enjoy

Thought it might be near finished... never mind, hope it is out before Christmas.

They said the war would be won by Christmas... maybe they should have put this in the game to start :|

I seen that but to be honest I was not really that impressed to post something. Just my opinion but I am pretty much OK with the content we have now and would really like to see more game and engine improvements. The skins look good and nice to see they are making an attempt at simulating tanks sinking a little bit in the snow. No tracks being left in snow is sort of meh but I guess if they did that the current engine would give away exactly where you tanks were moving. I don't know. More units are great but I don't even think I played with many new ones from the vehicle pack that I purchased. Hopefully there is more to come!

RE: Vehicle Pack: So your overall feeling is 'meh' about it? I was contemplating the purchase.

No. I meant that vehicles driving in snow should leave tracks. Not seeing that sort of takes away from the realism. But with the current engine this is most likely impossible as I would be able to see your tracks getting made even before spotting a unit. Just like when units cross water or a fence or bush.

I have yet to play with the vehicle pack. This is why new units does not excite me that much. We already have a lot to pick from. I would rather see engine improvements.

Apart from new units and vehicles I haven't seen any appreciable improvement.
I read somewhere that is possible to carry passengers on tanks (like CMRT did already) and the snow landscape isn't so far from the CMFI snowy maps.

Man those Sturmtigers are freeking killing buildings!!! I hope they add German tankriders aswell in all versions of CMx2

Looking forward to 1945, but after this new base game I really hope they start pumping out the modules for a while to beef out the content for the existing titles. Variety is part of the appeal of CM.

Saying that, mid war and early war down the track please.

Yes, yes ... especially for the Ostfront!!

Well that's an easy fix. Make only your own tracks visible!

Finally had a chance to watch it. Not too impressed tbh. Vehicle textures are still pretty disappointing, and we still have the 8 year old effects and sounds. The tracks sinking into the snow is a nice touch, and I'm glad they put in the effort to make it not look like the tanks are floating on top of the snow. I think I'll be picking this up later once there are a few modules out to flesh things out.

I'd rather see vast game engine improvements than more base games. Also, how is this title taking so long to develop? Seriously, it is the same base code as the other titles, has a few extra vehicles, and a few more formations.

this is annoiyng, just curios to know if the new title is only a battle pack plus a vehicles pack and different flavour objects.

We haven't seen enough yet, but BFC have already stated there won't be an engine upgrade, i.e. CMx2 4.0. I think the delays have something to do with them upgrading the site, the forums, and the repository.
