UBI won't be distributing Oleg's BOB- that much is definite, though it is not known who will. Presumably UBI did several things to annoy 1C, such as the IL2 4.05m + Boonty Box fiasco, plus putting the Grumman name on the "Pacific Fighters" box and passing Grumman's bill on to 1C even though the fault was UBI's.

Don't worry it will be released in "two weeks"

Perhaps it is best to move forward with what we have, rather than pine for what we do not have.

Precisely

As I have said this is easy for me. My Game PC is not online. I can not play SH5 unless they release a version that does not require being online.

That said recent comments on manner of play also concern me.

HuntertzehnGustav and I have banged heads but we both have a high expectation of accuracy and realism and I respect his position. If he says it has serious play problems than I have to listen up so maybe even with DRM removed I have to reconsider if I will buy it..

I am looking forward to Oleg's BoB a subject I have had much experience in with CFS3.
Bob, did you ever load ETO in CFS3? If so there is an updated BoB for it.

I put my Uboat in the shipyards and sent the crew on leave in early 1943 in my present SH# GWX3 campaign. I bought the entire Battlestar Galactica on DVD and have been watching that till I get a longing for the smell of the ocean again.

Starcraft II is great fun, I started playing it about four months ago and it's quite addictive. Only played multiplayer though.

Nope, I got a beta key in February.

Takao · 07-24-10, 09:12 PM

Yeah, my co-worker was in on the beta. From what he was allowed to tell me, I can say is it will be a must have game.

Destraex · 07-25-10, 03:34 AM

dow1 and 2 are easily better from the sc2 footage I have seen. COH is easily the best of them all.
The story may be a bit of fun though. It sure is no supcom though

Zedi · 07-25-10, 04:23 AM

Nothing can beat a Blizzard game

Personally I wait for SC2 then Cataclysm..

Destraex · 07-25-10, 06:13 AM

lets see compared to COH.

terrain allows no cover - no smart advantage allowed
terrain is not deformable - no smart advantage allowed
Squads do not exist like in coh so no formations or smart use of terrain.
maps seem to consist of high and low cliffs and choke points.
Animations and fights look like a stand around and shoot in a line contest. U know like the last line up at a paint ball match.
The unit list is simplistic at best...
Combat is so fast you either have units or u don't. No time to adjust a plan once commited. Although some ridiculous micro chases seem to happen.
Most units I actually think look ugly. I cannot seem to identify with any of them.
I would not recognise any of these starcraft 2 matches as anything other than light recon skirmishes due to the extreme small numbers involved. When somebody attacks their may be 20 units involved. That is not even the officers in a regular battalion. So Starcraft certainly is not what I would call an epic game.

I would call it twitch chess. Or like watching a game of 5yr old soccer. Masses of men running around in a ball.

I guess I have been spoiled by Company of Heroes. Starcraft2 will be ok. It is what it is.

Take it to the General Games Discussion forum. There is already a thread about it there.

Not holding out of sheer spite against DRM. But of the sheer unpractical-ness it creates for me and many users. Sure, in the end it's the same.

Can't afford to stay connected 24/7; can't afford to stay home 24/7, since i travel a lot and modern laptops have proven to be as capable when it comes to gamin as pc's.

I have my share of Favorite Games installed on the Notebook and i game whenever i have time. SH3 i one of them.

So...still waiting...in vain...
