jpinard Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 Are we looking at 6 months, 9 months, or years before release of CM2? Just looking for a really vague approximation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pham911 Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 There was a post recently that they were dropping all future Combat Mission games so that BTS could concentrate on the lucrative Squad Leader clone market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpinard Posted November 7, 2000 Author Share Posted November 7, 2000 Hey!! I'm just kinda wondering if this is a long wait, medium wait, or a short wait (in developmenet terms). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 IIRC, Steve said "about a year from now" in a previous post. Could be my ailing mind playing tricks on me, though... Why not do a search?

David Aitken Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 IIRC = If I Remember Correctly. How about we all just settle down, enjoy playing CMBO or – heaven forbid – explore what else life has to offer us? Sure, CM2 will be better than CMBO – but the latter has only been in our lives for a few short months, and it fills exactly the same spot which CM2 will occupy in a year or so, so it's not as though there is a gaping CM2-shaped hole in our lives.

Peterk Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 Instant CM2! Just go into the sceanario editor and change all the names of French villages to Russian towns, sprinkle the word "comrade" all over the new Russianified briefings, add "ski" to end of all the Allied commader names and voila! You're there on the steppe man. p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David AFK=Away from Keyboard I agree with David. I am so involved with CM I especially with all the mods and scenarios, that I need this time to appreciate the current product. If CM2 came out tommorow, I would wait a year before buying it simply because i enjoy CM1 so much. I also explored what life has to offer and found a girl friend. Who would have thought? Did anyone else notice that the board clock is back to being accurate? ------------------ Did someone compare this to the Peng thread?

jpinard Posted November 7, 2000 Author Share Posted November 7, 2000 I'm not badgering for it. I was just wondering what kind of timeframe was involved - that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spook Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 I don't think that even BTS has a good handle now for a "good" release date projection. Look at how CMBO slipped 6-8 months past when BTS thought that it would first get out. Of course, all that slippage proved for the better in the game's quality in release. BTS will probably know better when CM2 is 70-80% done. So, to seek peace with yourself, expect at least a year from now for CM2 (11/01). Or maybe a while longer. So be it. Amen. PS: Not to worry, jpinard. You're not even close to what "Capt Manieri" was in terms of badgering for a game's release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 Yes, Hiram. I don't know what was up with that clock, probably a big debate over its time accuracy at 2000 meters while traversing the turret at low rpms, but I'm glad they fixed it.

Sgt. Steiner Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 It took 3 years for CM to come out, but that was due to developing the game engine from scratch. Now that it's done, any sequel using that engine shouldn't take nearly as long as the original. I would guess it will take approx. half as long as the original did to finish. ------------------ "Natural body oils, combined with dirt, can keep you waterproof" -Krüger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final demo came out when the game was finished. There will not be a CM2 beta demo, considering that the engine is already done, so the CM2 demo will be available no sooner than the game itself.
