domfluff Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Yeah, but how sure was Montgomery that there weren't two Panzer divisions in the Netherlands? And that was also in September. Co-incidence? Yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 My memory does not serve me so well anymore. but BF has never hit a guess-amated time frame for any release. Other than once as I recall, and that kind of sticks out to me because I was shocked that Steve finially came through with getting one right, even if it was a statement that the release was only a few weeks away. The best move they ever did was when they did cmfI, which was never gave a clue as to it coming out or when. (solved having threads like these) I figure if we are lucky, we see something this month, if not for sure next month 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domfluff Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I don't remember Battlefront ever hitting an announced date either. I also can't see any justifiable reason to clutch at pearls in horror when the statement was: Quote The obvious question out there is "when will CMSF2 ship?" We're aiming for no later than the end of September. Which is still accurate - one of the possible outcomes of aiming at something is that you'll miss. Disappointing, no question - I too would like be playing with tiny soldiers right now. Offering preorders does muddy things, since there's been some kind of monetary transaction. Pre-ordering in general is rarely something that benefits the consumer though. Do Battlefront do the best PR work? Certainly not, but that's a very different question. There's clearly an effort/benefit calculation to be done there, and since I haven't done that, I can't say whether it would be worth their time (whether better PR would equate to more sales). Same applies to issues around Steam, or any other questions about how their business is run. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a lot of worthwhile improvement that could be made here, but I don't remotely have the context to have a founded opinion about it. The Engine 4 patch/issues are a more serious matter, I think. Battlefront has clearly been through a blip in terms of staffing, and the engine is not where they'd like it to be right now, with the variously known issues. It's definitely a fully playable product, but I think it is the only area where you could make a defensible argument that one had be "let down" or similar. I still don't think that's an argument that I'm keen to make, but I suspect it's a viable one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they at least did give an estimated guess when SF2 might come out, and so they are still in the Ball Park-ish time frame.

ZackTactical34 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The one good thing about not receiving an update from Steve is that the release date is somewhat in the ballpark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Perhaps, in a nether-world-isch manner, he is yearning for a way to have different levels of water in game? I would not levee such a charge on him, but if he's willing to go Dutch on the cost of the implementation, it could perhaps get done? You're welcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountains have risen from the plains, glaciers have melted into ponds, and monkeys have given up the trees for time shares in Miami, in the same span as one of Steve's "soons". The last time he said it I watched an ant go from building a sand mound with his face to full on construction worker. Little b***** came out one day driving a bulldozer. Had a cigar in his mouth, a cup off coffee in his hand and a hard hat that read "Proud member of Local 152". Thank an unspecified and non-denominational deity that "soon" hasn't been uttered... Mord.

Nice poem I've got nothing better to do so here's another one : There is a game by Battlefront, that rules the gaming league Combat Mission owns this title, and none other can compete. But sadly the game never released, and stayed in development mode, And even after thirty years, people still wait for it to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
