Sirocco Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 The release date and the pre order date have not been confirmed, and they won't be until someone from BFC posts the actual dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus86 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Obviously it's not brain science to figure out that we're expecting to open pre-orders later this month, and ship out first copies in April.by Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The phrase "we're expecting" isn't a final release date. Let's not get all excited until there's something to be excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franz Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I seem to remember they "were expecting" to have the game released before Xmas in 2006. Do you still have blind faith in the term "we are expecting" ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexdblade Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hopefully noone is paying you guys becasue honestly this is a joke. Last year we were filming a small 10 million movie and they were behind schedule by 13 days, those 13 days cost us 1.4 million. I'm never again hiring that director again. If I was the producer of this game I would fire everyone on it, and find someone who can finish it on schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis50 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 What schedule? Regards, Gunz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl60 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Now I see why most movies stink these days...finishing on shedule is more important than making a quality product apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichenberg Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Maybe industrialised production of creative, non industrial products like good movies, good computer games etc., is just not the way to get the best products at the end...... But industrialised production is a good way of producing non creative products like hair dryers, toilet paper, standard movies and standard computer games. You can produce them cheap, repeatable and therefore relativly risk-free and plannable. And customers seem to be happy with them! At least with most of them.

Field Marshal Blücher Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I for one would rather get a good product than have a bad product come out beforehand. I'd be more disappointed by a game that came out on time that I disliked than by a good game that came out late. I'm looking forward to Theatre of War and I just hope it meets my expectations when it does finally come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uwe Everything that is produced with outside money is controlled, and you got to keep it on schedule. In a big budge movie 60+ mills, every day on set cost about 300k or more. Small movies 5-15 mills, we get insurance, if we fall behind schedule, the insurance takes over and finish the movie with a new crew. Every movie from Starwars to Pulp Fiction has been made like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9crump Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Moon, are we going to get some official word on this yet? You said the middle... It would be nice to know if and when pre-orders and the game will be available for download. Thanks MIke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichenberg Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 K9crump, check out Moons post in this thread. He explains in detail the actual delay. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I'm at. Gone for a while, dropped by Battlefront to see what the latest and greatest was... OH.. TOW! Battlefront? 1C? Where do I sign up! A little early download is cool, but I just wanted to get in on the game. Anyone remember back when CMBO first sold out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Remember playing the beta demo so much that people were posting "mods" Like only move vehicles backwards. Play only from locked view on 1 unit. etc. And this was beta only, with LOS lines cascading off the map. etc. And remember the Gold demo? (and the refresh monkeys?) I've been in gaming a LONG time, and I don't remember ever being more thrilled than when I first fired up the CMBO Gold demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
