Prinz Eugen Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 What´s that I hear? The release has been postponed to Q3 ?!? :mad: This cannot be true. This musn´t be true. Surely BTS is kidding us, and they´ll give an surprise announcement next week "Your agony is over..." In many ways this is not an ideal world, and this piece of news depresses me even more...

Pixman Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Guys, when it's ready it's ready. Those of us who were around when CMBO was pending know enough to just sit tight until the release. BTS knows what they are doing and they have their priorities straight -- build a quality game, release it as quickly as possible, and support it properly once it hits the streets.

If I could afford to drive a Jaguar, I could afford never have to enter a McDonald's 'restaurant' again for the rest of my natural life....I am sure Steve and Charles start each day with steak and eggs; if not, they ought to.

Boris Balaban Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 May be BTS can tell use how long it took CMBO took? Did it take 2 or 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Don't use CMBO's development time as a guide, because Steve and Charles have put about 3.5 to 4 (or thereabouts) years into the game we all know and love. I sure would hate to have to wait until summer 2004 for CMBB. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Balaban Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I hope it would not take as long for CMBB as was CMBO. I would hope that the release of CMBB will have no upgrades as they tried with CMBO. If I remember right the upgrade was to give us TCP ability for they could have waited till it was done but us (Joe public) did not want to wait.

Pvt. Ryan Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I can't believe this thread is still open. Is BTS closed for the long weekend? Actually, I was just checking here to see if there was an announcement of CMBB's release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 My fingers are definitely crossed for a June release. Early July is about as long as I can stand to wait. But trust me, those of us who were biting our nails and pulling our hair out during CMBO's development are feeling a lot of deja vous.

Thraka Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Yes.. I found CMBO a month or so after its release and then soon after ordering read the messages about how they were understocked or something and had to wait a bit for my cd.. Didn't come fast enough I tell ya! It was great.. I downloaded the demo like at 1am and tried it.. ok seems real nice.. getting my but kicked I'll try tomarrow.. Woke up and around 5pm I started it up.. I slaughtered the enemy.. killed almost all his units took all flags and lost very few. I then called up a few friends told them about it and promptly ordered my copy. When it came I just sat there watching the intro movie over and over and over while reading the manual.. I've read that thing front to back over time hehe. I cannot wait till CMBB comes out.. I just hope they dont do what other companies do and make the manual a PDF file I WANT THE GAME!!!!! or beta And a big manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
