kappa Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Now that the release of CMBB cannot be that far away, why will nobody give us a exact date, or at least give us the demo (we promise not to write any posts or e-mails about what we want to have changed until the game is actually released, wont we everyone?) The pain of waiting for this ultimate WW2 SIMULATION is just unbareable thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shatter Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 I know how you feel, been waiting for ever now. I am an avid martial artist and paintballer. It keeps me busy and keeps my mind off "WHEN THE HELL WILL CMBB BE RELEASED". I am beginning to think the second coming will arive before CMBB. Personally I think BTS could at least give us an estimated month for release. Don't get me wrong, I will wait how ever long it takes, and will be worth it.

lewallen Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Well, I for one trust BTS to deliver the goods exactly when they keep saying they will: "When it's ready". They've stated several times that there will not be a demo (at least before the game is released) because that would signifigantly delay the release date (the CMBO demo delyed CMBO also). And honestly, it's nice to have a company for once not promise release dates they can't deliver on, or worse, push a product out the door before it's ready. (Anybody here play Falcon 4.0? Thanks to BTS "when it's ready" policy, we'll not have a repeat of that ugly experience with CMBB.) I wouldn't mind a few more screenshots, or more details about what all the features are going to be, but I'm also content to wait until the game is fully ready. Anyway, that's my $.02... ~Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarquelne Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 I'll help you. The projected release date is July, 16th, 2004. It might be out earlier, though, if it's done sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Young people today, they have no patience. Imgrat, Imgrat! is all they can say. Ah, to be young again! Of course, I'd have to shoot myself because I was so bloody annoying, but then, there's a growing movement in favour of that in any case...

109 Gustav Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 The release date is still up in the air, due to a severe shortage of workers at BTS. Currently Moon is broken down in the Battlefront.com battlewagon 25 miles from civilization. Hunger has forced him to eat his own shoes, so it should be a long time before he can return to BTS headquarters and resume work on CMBB. As everyone knows, Steve and Charles escaped to a small Caribbean island following the success of CMBO, and the margarita supply isn't low enough yet to justify work on CMBB. Madmatt, of course, has spent the last few months attempting to apply some of his bouncing skills to Gunny Bunny's skull. Rumor has it that forum members will have to start a collection for bail money following the assault charges. Funds can be sent to: Mad Matt C/O New Mexico Department of Corrections Folsom Prison, NM 83729 That leaves only Kwazydog to finish up CMBB. He's been trying hard to learn C++, but all the coding symbols are a little too complicated for him. Therefore, unless Steve's Cuervo supply dries up, I would estimate that CMBB will be finished up around October 24th, 2003.

c3k Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Guys, I've got the real scoop on the release date: Each week, it gets half-way closer to being done. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Originally posted by c3k: Guys, I've got the real scoop on the release date: Each week, it gets half-way closer to being done. Ken By that token, the game will never be done. The precentage of coding left to do will merely shrink on an exponential scale. In a week it'll be halfway closer to being done, and a week later it'll be another half closer than that to being done! Damn it all to hell! In a few months the game will only have fractions of a percent left to finish, but we will never reach the magic 100% Sort of like the carrot on the stick bit, except the carrot keeps getting closer and closer, but never enough for us to reach it. I'm depressed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 109 Gustav thx, you just made my day! BTW do you remember our TCP/IP game where I attacked with british forces your defense? We finally agreed to a ceasefire. Still one of the best defences I've encountered yet in a game vs a human.

ASL Veteran Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Folsom Prison (the infamous maximum security one anyway) is in Sacramento California (well, Folsom California, but that's just an overblown suburb of Sacramento anyway) ... but yeah, the humor comes through anyway.

The pain of waiting for this ultimate WW2 SIMULATION is just unbareable thanks Oh, for the love of Christ... Yes, yes, someone can give you an answer. I'm Seanachai. You might remember me from such threads as: 'Aggressive Half-wits: Why Can't We Simply Track Them Down and Behead Them?', 'The Peng Challenge Thread: Why Sodding Off Is Always An Option', and 'See Spot Die: Why Must Little Johnny Whinge?' I am here to tell you, my importunate little buddy, that I am, in fact an Official, Accredited, and, in fact Annointed representive of Big Time Software. And that you can trust me, because I never lie, and I'm always right. And that all the extremely important fellas in the aforesaid Big Time Software have authorized me to tell you that the game will be released exactly on schedule! Yes, that's right, there is no question that the game will be released on its scheduled date! Oh, that's right, you want a date, don't you? Okay, the game will be released on October 15th. Prove it isn't so. Then sod off, of course. Oh, and for the love of all the gods, get your own pain right! It's 'unbearable', fer chrissake, not 'unbareable'.

Andreas Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 'It'll be released before the end of the year.' (note to self - make sure never to mention which year) From 1999 onwards, this was the line by UK Environment Minister Michael Meacher, when asked about the forthcoming UK government CHP strategy. It appeared in June 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve has found that reanimation is not a profitable diversification from the core business and Charles's "transformation" is not yet complete. The actual release date has been long foretold in certain now-vanished etchings discovered in a dream on the high plateau of Leng and copied onto the pages of the dreaded Krankenhammer; their text transcribed into a language unknown to scholars but which, when viewed, causes a strange feeling of disquiet and, in more sensitive readers, nausea. All will be revealed. [ June 24, 2002, 10:52 AM: Message edited by: Hakko Ichiu ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
