GriffinCheng+ Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Nope, I guess Michael will use your money to get a copy along with his and send the extra to you! Anyway, I would like to ask BTS to start accpeting preorder at 0000 ETS. It would be fairer to guys and gals living in the opposite side of the planet!

Juardis Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 We all know the answer, yet we all have to read to see if BTS has said anything contrary to what we think we know. We are pathetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scipio Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 When they open the preorder, it will be more like that: four lone gunman looking through a pillbox slit...early morning, June 6, 1944, Normandy.

Grisha Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 It's 0300hrs 11 January 1945, and in a frontline trench opposite a certain Soviet bridgehead centered around a city called Sandomir, two German soldiers try to stay warm - and awake ... Yeah, it's going to be rough for BTS. Ahh, but the perk$$$$$ Bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's going to be rough for BTS. Ahh, but the perk$$$$$ Bring it on!I don't think those two Germans had to worry too much about staying awake. They were soon going to experience Stalin's alarm clock that rings with a very big kaboom..... I think the past several months have been rough for BTS, and I'm sure they are not planning any vacations until several months after they make the final delivery (whenever that may occur). I don't need to pre-order the game, I understand why they don't want to institute that process. However, all I ask for is that we receive some form of advance warning that CMBB is being released. (By the way guys, excellent work I am looking forward to the CMBB delivery. CMBO redefined my view of PC games and CMBB will do far more. I'm sure the product will impress all- despite their constant grumbling about a product that they have not even seen. Now, stop reading my praises and get back to coding/system testing ). I hope I don't log in one day and find a bold message CMBB is now available. I would like to see a message two weeks before its release stating that CMBB will be available for purchase on MM/DD/CCYY.... (then I can log in at 12:01am that day and pay ~$50 to lose all my free time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 I recall in a previous posting BTS said there'd be no pre-orders like CMBO because they've now got the distribution system set up so an order comes in - a game goes out. Not the lag time of the CMBO initial release. And if I may speculate (based on no fact whatsoever), I doubt that BTS needs that pre-order "seed money" to keep the light bills paid while they finish the game this time around. A CMBO disk ordered a month ahead of time meant $45 bucks in THEIR bank account for a month, not yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgsan Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Actually, I don't think BTS charged anyone's credit card until the game shipped. I think I saw on the board once that their problems ran the otherway, that because they did not charge the credit card until the game shipped problems arose because in the interim some customers' cards expired or was renewed with different numbers which created some logistical problems. But the preorders may have given them a good fix on their initial orders. However, I'm eagerly awaiting the allclear sign to get my order in. Anyword if we are still looking at a second quarter release (ie. by the end of June)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A CMBO disk ordered a month ahead of time meant $45 bucks in THEIR bank account for a month, not yours! As I recall they didn't hit the credit card until the order was ready to be shipped. Now there were some "issues" in which the charge hit and game didn't actually clear the door for a week, but they certainly didn't intend that and the money wasn't in their bank account for longer than a week except for some bizzare few cases. Not sure how they did the checks but they were a pretty small minority IIRC. As to setting an exact time for purchases, that would make the Night of the Refreshing Monkeys look like a slow Sunday on the Permanent Cave Dwellers Forum. I still think they should reserve a spot in the order queue based on low member numbers Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Hell, if I owned a game scompany and the pre-order checks started coming in, you find ME with the cash on the beach in Aruba! I guess that's why they are a trusted company and I'm... not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
