Just managed to login to my Battlefront account and I've got one game listed. No serial keys for the "more than a dozen" I bought from them.

oh well...

By chance do you have the old e-mails regarding your purchases from BF. They would have the SNs, or the order number to back check.
Unfortunately not. It seems I've had a purge or change of PC or some thing happen over the years and this information has gone.

I hadn't had problems logging into Battlefront at least once before and grabbing my information when I wanted to reinstall something - so probably rather stupidly didn't think about securing that information - because I was able to get it easily enough.

I would've thought as part of the takeover, Slitherine would have access to the previous purchases and been able to provide access to them. I posted on Matrix - in case there's an option I missed.

I don't suppose it matters really. Whilst I loved the games and did play them alot (CMSF2 was superb and my fav), my PC gets very little game time nowadays...too many games and not enough time, so at least these aren't tempting me away from other gaming - which they surely would if I had access to them.
I got in.

Raised a ticket and John at Slitherine identified I had two accounts. All games present and accounted for.  :Hug:

Sorry that I didn't check in earlier. When I saw your post I was going to suggest opening a ticket.

How did I do? Did I get back quickly? I'm still getting used to the new Help Desk set up.

I've been on the Matrix/Slitherine payroll since July 1st. I have really enjoyed working with them as we put all of the games on Steam and working solely for them hasn't changed my positive opinion.

Now that CM3 is "officially" know to exist I can only add the most vauge information. I work for a company now that has a full marketing department. I haven't played a build in a couple of months but I feel it's probably ok if I say..... It definitely has an updated look and a video I saw the other was staggering. It took a few seconds for me to realize I was looking at a video of the/a game. If the game looks like that heads will explode. And also, it looks very different,  but the UI is organized differently but the game still has the Combat Mission DNA. You won't have any doubt about what game you're playing.

Coop multiplayer at all? Maybe HITS like scourge of war? Which you kinda have already I guess.

I really hope its one game and launcher for all modules in cmx3 with no dumbing down this time.

Can you beat steel division 2 assuming a ww2 setting? Only time will tell.

John is you? You did very well. I have all my game activation codes and they're all on Matrix and Steam now. Thank you.

Well. Personally hoping it's nothing like steel division and still very much like combat mission
"you are the rule maker, the dictator, the mini- Stalin, Mao, Hitler, the emperor, generalissimo, the MAN. You may talk the talk and appear to be quite easy going to foster popularity, but to the MAN I say F*CK YOU." And Steve G is F******g rude ? Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

Quote from: undercovergeek on August 27, 2024, 03:36:35 PMI am certainly not comparing the titles but if my tank misses in red dragon or warno or regiments the ui and info on the screen tells me why - in cm I don't know - the forumites and devs give a mystic wave of the hand and say 'this is war'

I played more hours of cmbo and cmbn than I care to mention, beta tested Italy and Black Sea and loved every minute - I still want to know why I missed

Interesting...My (ill-informed) take on those situations in CM is that the game simulates the randomness of interaction between projectile and target - and I find that variation reassuring.  It may be complete RNG-generated cobblers (sorry BF coders if not true), but it feels to me more realistic.
