Cantona66 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I´m guessing tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolo911 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I thought that those of us who pre-ordered would get an email stating we could download it a little earlier than the general public who did not pre-order. Is that still the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantona66 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I believe so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian the Dane Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Here's my guess...I'm thinking for Friday, March 5th. I base this on the fact that at that point, Jupiter will be rising over Mercury... Actually, it's just a wild guess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorm Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yolo, That should indeed be the case...probably REAL soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norvandave Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi Snowstorm, The timing is perfect. The agency's managers are on a hiatus this week and well........ let the games begin! Yes the timing is perfect. The Winter Olympics are finally over (Canada rocked!) and life can begin again, especially here in Vancouver. Back to SC! Looking forward to it.

Moon Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Yes, this is still the case. How much earlier than the general public varies from case to case. Sometimes it's only a few hours, sometimes nearly a day. I cannot say right now when exactly we'll be able to launch. We still have server maintenance going on since yesterday and we'll have a date once that is over. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian the Dane Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 As You know, we look forward to this release. And that is why we are pushing. It happens sometimes, when the public knows something really really good is arriving. Moon, Martin, you've done this well. Civil and informatnional. I'm not going to push. This creation, this game, i believe, will be good and very good. And besides, once it's ours to play, there is no timeline. That spells up to me, compliments. To Hubert for This, and your patience. With us. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy131313 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I've exhausted the current Strategic Command 2 Scenario's so I took a step back to the original Strategic Command European Theatre to kill the time as I wait. Gotta say I'm pretty hooked on the old game right now. I found countless scenario's on the internet some of which are damn near impossible to win.

geofighter Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi, Yes, I can hardly wait for the game to be released. I hope when I get home tonight there'll be an email waiting for me if not, I'll continue to be patient. I read the posting under "Who Has Pre-Ordered?" and read from the fella who wants his money back. Where I find his response rude I do question, and forgive me for asking. How long should I be patient? I mean, if we go into May and still haven't got the game then I may have issues then. And if the game isn't out by May does that mean because of the "no refunds" policy I just had $55 stolen from me? Everything I've learned up to now tells me that Fury Software/Battlefront is a reputable company worthy of my business. As a first time customer, I hope I'm not wrong.

I've been buying from them for years - it's a very reliable set-up with excellent customer service.

Snowstorm Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 No need to worry about May. My gut feeling (and it's only that) is the game will be available in the next 24 hours (or less). Can't wait to see the first "I got it!" post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsmm Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 To be honest Hubert suffered some sort of back injury, which hampered the production of this game, because he couldn't sit behind a computer. With that said you now throw into the picture the fact that Moon and other members of the administration staff here at battlefront don't want to get caught with a release when there is maintenance on the server, and you quickly understand why the game's been pushed back. I believe Hubert placed an estimate somewhere on how far his back injury set him back; I believe it was roughly 6 weeks. So then in the hypothetical of Hubert not being injured the game is put out on the market in early to mid January, and the first patch for it is either released or almost complete, fixing all the problems that come up. This is a course just a hypothetical situation, and life has a way of going down a path you hadn't planned, and this seems abundantly clear to me in the making of SC Global. With all this said believe me battlefront isn't going to rob its customers, just hang in there, I'm sure everyone who wants the game will have it much before May. The only real question I have about SC, and Hubert is what will they do after this? A while back Moon mentioned Hubert was going to make two expansions, the first was SC PT, and of course the second was SC GC. So where to once you fix SC GC up? That I have absolutely no idea on.

teutonkopf Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hey Guys, back to reality for a minute here... There's lots of stuff that can be improved upon in SC-GC. I can name several major improvements just based on what we already know. Don't forget about these major deficiencies that have become "the elephant in the room". SC-GC II would: Have more major countries: France Italy Significant neutrals with the potential to be majors -- certainly not "minors": Spain (and its Latin American allies) Sweden Have Better graphics: Me109's that look like Me109's More Technologies: Nuclear Weapons More Resources: Oil tracking, e.g. Production, Reserves, Usage Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock a great game. However, the idea that there's no where to go after SC-GC is kinda shortsighted. Its got a long way to go, baby! I'm pretty sure this is the start of another thread topic, but I couldn't let the "nowhere to go from here" idea actually go unanswered... (not to mention that the endless back patting is also getting kinda sickening. LOL) v/r, teutonkopf fuhrer teutonicus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
