Huwie Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Hi. My name's Huw and I'll be your newbie for today! I'm a relative newcomer to the BC series. I downloaded BC3K some time last year and was totally wowed by it, but sadly it didn't run very well on my PC. Undaunted, I got hold of the demos for BCM and they didn't work particularly well either. A couple of weeks ago, though, I wandered back to the website and found news of BCMG and I thought to myself "well this one HAS to work", and duly ordered it (from the ONE single website I could find that sells it in the UK). BCMG, I was ecstatic to discover, runs brilliantly on my system, and there was much rejoicing! I've been playing it avidly over the last few days, and getting my arse roundly kicked by just about anything that moves, heh. But I'm slowly getting to grips with it. I just can't believe the scope of BC, and as so many others have said, BCMG is pretty much the answer to my gaming prayers (at least as far as space sims go - for RPGs there's Morrowind ). So I hope to be around for quite some time. How are all you guys today?
Guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Welcome to the forum, and I am glad you are loving BCMG so much. There's a lot to see, so take a peek around, if you have questions, use the search function, it is one of the best I've ever seen, if you can't find your answer from there, then ask away and we will do our best to help you out. And I am doing just fine, thank you....
Huwie Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Posted September 10, 2003 Thanks for the warm welcome, Jaguar! quote:There's a lot to see, so take a peek aroundHaha, yeah, I have been nosing around the board whilst waiting for my membership to be confirmed. The team have done a superb job of documenting everything and placing it all within easy reach. Don't worry, before I ask any questions I'll try my hardest to make sure they haven't been answered elsewhere. I don't wanna get a bollocking for at least a couple of weeks.
XOR Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 welcome to the board! I hope you find the experience... elightening

DennyMala Posted September 12, 2003 Report Posted September 12, 2003 Hi HUWIE, I totally agree with you about BCMG and MORROWIND..... Have fun and a nice time here in the forums.....don't be scared by the vets.... they more nice than you'll ever say.... just make sure you don't break the rules or else...... ... ... ....you'll be on your own........ Nice to meet you!!!
Huwie Posted September 12, 2003 Author Report Posted September 12, 2003 quote: just make sure you don't break the rules or else......Haha, yeah, that was made quite clear to me when I joined! Which is why whenever I have a question I always go back to the manual first, and the answer's always either there or buried in the forum somewhere. Having said that, I was going to ask about a weird invisible ship phenomenon I have been encountering (no, not cloaking, not even I'm that stupid), but I think I'll wait until I'm absolutely sure it hasn't been covered somewhere... Nice to meet you, too! A fan of BC or Morrowind is a friend of mine indeed! By the way, would everyone please stop scaring me with the red t-shirt stuff? I was just gonna give it to Resnig anyway. BC is scary enough as it is. I'm getting tough now, though - I even blew up a shuttle the other day! Fearsome ships, those shuttles...
DennyMala Posted September 12, 2003 Report Posted September 12, 2003 Don't worry about the red T-shirt... I'm here since about a month and never heard of that... ...anyway the option of giving it to Resnig is always available.......
Commander Elio Jason Posted September 13, 2003 Report Posted September 13, 2003 wow snuck under the radar. welcome to our world! BTW the special red shirt is for marine target practice!
DennyMala Posted September 14, 2003 Report Posted September 14, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Commander Elio Jason: BTW the special red shirt is for marine target practice! Ohhh...let's see....I only have 40 marines aboard my ship that are trying to kill me...? Guess I should have to recruit another 40 marines at the next starstation.....and buy some coffins....
Osjuanc Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 After 3 long years since I bought the BC3000ad version and finished it I finally found BCMG and I bought it and loaded it and now I am back in the groove of things. I hope to get the chance to chat with some of you soon and even meet in the MP sometimes. I hope everyone will welcome me in.

Osjuanc Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 Well that was 3 computers ago and one slow process. After the 7 mission the speed of the game slows down and it takes forever to play it but I went through it.

He's probably talking about the ACM campaign scenario.
Osjuanc Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Yes thats what it is the ACM Campaign. Its been so long since I played it I forgot what it was called Sorry.
