OK, let's not get all stupid now and cause me to give anybody a Time Out.

It's the same story as usual. We want to put more into the game than we should, which means it takes longer than it could otherwise take. Estimating that amount of time is extremely difficult to do on a feature by feature basis, not to mention spread out over hundreds of things.

And I can promise you, nobody is more anxious to release a game than the guys making it. Especially ones who work, basically, on commission like we do :D

As has already been cleared up, Battlefront (as a developer) has never cancelled a product in development. In fact, we've never canceled a product that we've done a game design for. Battlefront (as a publisher), however, has had to cancel a couple of 3rd party products for one reason or another. The key difference is what we have control over and what we don't.

NATO will definitely come out before Normandy. As for an exact time... we are close enough that we may soon announce a ship date, but far enough out that we don't want to give a timeframe.

Steve,

In an earlier statement, iirc, you predicted an Afghan/Nato/Normandy release order. You also made it quite clear that this was your best guess and not a hard fact. Is this still your best guess?

As always, thanks for any information you are willing to share!

Actually, you can figure it out with a simple formula:

NATO release plus X days

X = the number of days Normandy is released after NATO.
