Apache Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 I've scoured most of the threads on this forum and visited CMHQ and other sites and have found nothing yet. Any ideas as to which quarter it's anticipated and is it this or next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Apache, The only answer you are ever going to get is: "When it's done." That's not meant to be a smug reply. Rather, it's just the way the guys do things at BFC. They don't rush things along because of some arbitrary deadlines. Instead, they take the time to get things right and release their products when they are satisfied with them. Considering how good CMBO is, I think it is safe to say they will probably get it right again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmek Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 I heard this quarter. If that is true then just 2 more months til the "deadline". My boss said I would get a raise also this quarter. I bet CMBB is out before I get a raise! I agree with STed though. They can tenatively schedule a release date, but if bug pops up, BTS will take the time to make it right.

Apache Posted January 25, 2002 Author Share Posted January 25, 2002 Thanks guys, been out of communication for some time. Just checking that everyone else wasn't eagerly awaiting a release date that I was unaware of. Doubtless BTS will be inundadted with pre-orders once they announnce release (if indeed they intend to take POs this time around).

kipanderson Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Apache, hi, Yes, “when” is an important question. Happily, Steve and co are well aware of this and have quite recently answered the question.By the standards of these things.Back around the end of November, beginning December, Steve produced a long post to get us all up to speed. He did go into detail on the anticipated release date. I forget his exact phasing, but without any wishful thinking, it did translate into the second half of March. Until there is a further update I believe that is the most likely. Time will tell, as they say. All the best, Kip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 here's one Clue the Modeling Contest doesn't close until Feb 28 2002 So that right there tells you it likely won't be available until late March or early April. My guess is IF (Big IF) EVERYHTHING goes well and on Schedule they might start shipping in April 2002. Check this out: " KwazyDog Administrator Member # 302 posted 01-25-2002 04:22 PM Hi guys! Some more quick replies... Zitadelle, yes, a bare bones model will still help us out, as it will give us all of the details necessary to help in the building of a texture. What is perfect (other than a complete model of course) is a model that has had the base coat applied and items like the wheels painted black, details coloured, etc, but if time doesnt permit a bare model will be very useful too. as for the latest date of entry...well thats a hard call. At this point the contest will end on the given date, but I could probably take texture 4 weeks or so after and still have them of use to me, as long as I knew they were coming Shep, thanks! Whilst I can promise anything I can tell you that we are trying out best to get as much in there as possible. There should be a lot of vehicles for you guys to play with if all goes to plan!" My guess (it is ONLY a guess) is they will need at the VERY least one more month after the close of the Modeling contest to work on the graphics and images from the contest to bring them into CMBB. And since Dan (KwazyDog) is swamped now, if there are alot of last minute entries it may take a couple of more months to work through all the graphics files he has received and finalize what vehicles make it into the game and which do not. So my completely "out of the loop" and uninformed guess is Sometime in April or May. -tom w [ 01-25-2002: Message edited by: aka_tom_w ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abn_Ranger87 Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Hope no delays come up, it would be bad form for CMBB to come out right before my wedding. Would be an awkward honeymoon to say the least... "but dear, I need to bring the lap-top with me..." :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was VERY gracious about letting me play. At that time there were no Mods and no user made scenarios and no TCP/IP and the game was STILL great then even in its v1.0 format!! -tom w P.S. we are still married and I still love this game!

Pvt. Ryan Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 As much as I love CM, I could think of better things to do on my honeymoon. However, I don't think I will have to make that choice anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 do we really need a When Will CMBB thread on every page of the forum now? this thread was "news" yesterday today it is on page two and NEW "When Will CMBB come out" thread appears on page one Duh! -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Indeed. As we have always said, the game will be available when we are finished with it, we aren't finished with it. When we get a better handle on a release date we will let EVERYONE know. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
