John-SJ Posted July 1, 2000 Share Posted July 1, 2000 I ordered on 6/22, charge card debited on 6/26, still no CM here in California! I had to console myself today so I bought Diablo II. At least I'll be waiting for CM in style! John-SJ P.S. I thought sure I'd get it yesterday, and our stupid mail carrier got to our house at 7:30pm! Can you believe it? And today will likely be a repeat performance. It's almost 6pm here and no sign of our mail. (it's the government, it figures! ) [This message has been edited by John-SJ (edited 06-30-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanachai Posted July 1, 2000 Share Posted July 1, 2000 Hey, did kump get his copy yet? Because I'm standing around here with this special squad of 6 guys, and as soon as we get the word that he's the last one with no copy of CM, we're sposed to go in and rescue him. Be nice to know if he needs it or not. Sheesh, all this bushwah to save one lousy gamer... ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared. They told him nothing, except that the sky might fall on their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-SJ Posted July 1, 2000 Share Posted July 1, 2000 Well, when it rains, it pours! About 15 minutes after hitting the Post button on my last post here, guess what came in the mail? That's right! CM is in California! Ordered 6/22, delivered 6/30! Happy days! John-SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, everyone, stand down. No, not you, Rieben, you're tasked to go over and kick Capt. Manieri in the butt. What? Hell, I don't know why, something about an 'integrity' issue. And you, Horvach, we're sending you up to talk with the Canadians. You're from Minnesota, you should be on their wavelength. But I hear things are damn bad up there. I'll be notifying your wife and kids, just in case... ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared.

Supertanker Posted July 1, 2000 Share Posted July 1, 2000 Uuuuulp. Hgnnnr. Grrrrughp. Words are failing me because CM still didn't show today (6/30) in my corner of California! I swear, I actually have a physical sense of disappointment and longing in my chest. That, or this is giving me heart palpitations. I am happy for those that have left, since I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. God, how I envy them. I take back what I said about non-gaming coworkers not understanding, because today when I told one the game still hadn't shown, he said, "Man, is this the longest, worst Christmas Eve of your life?" He is dead on! For those keeping track: 12/1/99 order. 6/15/2000 charge. 6/30/2000 still nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted July 2, 2000 Share Posted July 2, 2000 Hi guys, Add me to the list of people who visit the mailbox every day with a huge sense of expectation (or at least hope) only to have it crushed day after day. Amazon often gets me my books within a few days (all the way over here to Melbourne, Australia), but CM is obviously on the sloooww plane. <sigh> Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had been mistakenly sent to the billing address, which was my brother's house in Phoenix. However, he had moved to Santa Rosa soon after placing the order, so then it was forwarded there. It arrived in Santa Rosa on Tuesday 6/27. If has been a while and you are still in the dark about where your package is, I suggest writing to Steve and politely inquiring. He responded quickly and courteously to my somewhat steamed inquiry, and we solved the mystery of the game's whereabouts. It didn't make the waiting any more fun, but at least I knew it was not lost. His address is steve@battlefront.com. Good luck, and I hope yours shows soon. At least the USPS has to deliver on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarmo Posted July 2, 2000 Share Posted July 2, 2000 Dang! When I left at thursday morning, I was sure the game would be expecting me when I'd get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Mr.Black Posted July 3, 2000 Share Posted July 3, 2000 Though I understand a little delay for overseas shipping is easy to forgive, I can not help being extremely pissed off. Spain is CMless so far. I should add I am a Mac user, so Soldier of Fortune, Deus Ex and all those wonderful Mac titles are not to come in less than a month. I warn you BTS fellows, if you keep the delay I will go out and get some social life (heaven forbid!) Reverend Mr.Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindan Posted July 3, 2000 Share Posted July 3, 2000 Monday. Nothing. Again. I ordered my second copy last week. I'm really interested which one I'll get first. My "pre-ordered" copy was ordered and paid for in November. Could be a close call. ------------------ visit lindan.panzershark.com member of the Combat Mision webring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmonster Posted July 3, 2000 Share Posted July 3, 2000 Tailz, thanks for the welcome. I've read some of your posts, and all I can say is,.....I Feel Your Pain! But look on the bright side, unlike those that got the game within days, you get the added bonus of experiencing what the soldier really went through,...... loonngg, dull periods of nothing, followed by mass chaos!!
