WillyPete2171 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 With all this talk of previews, it sounds to me that Normandy's release date is just around the corner... Is release imminent? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll know it's imminent when pre-orders become available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaspina Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 A couple of months:confused: (considering most of the previews are taking place at the end of February)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Belenko Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'm guessing Pre Orders within a week or two of the last preview. Either then or Feb 2012 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone else is right , mid/end feb to start/mid march for pre-orders with game 4 - 6 weeks to follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I am glad that BFC is taking all the time it needs "to get it right" and is not being rushed into premature release. Usually, games are released too early due to financial/contractual issues. We should be thankful that BFC can take the time that is required. Am certain that the blow back from the initial CMSF release was a "never again" moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Am certain that the blow back from the initial CMSF release was a "never again" moment. “in your opinion” And by the way Steve, et al, don’t share it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Huh? You mean they enjoyed all the hate mail that was generated? I well recall a lot of quite nasty stuff on several forums. It took many patches b4 CMSF started to dispel the disillusionment and win over folks (including myself). I figured they're doing it the smart way now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 “in you opinion” And by the way Steve, et al, don’t share it. I actually agree with Erwin on that point. And I don't think the Steve, especially in hindsight, is very happy with the initial release of CMSF. I think he has even said as much here. That being said, a lot of hard work went into making good on the shortcomings of the initial release. And to their credit it was not limited to bug fixes but also the constant addition of new gameplay features with every patch and module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 “in you opinion” And by the way Steve, et al, don’t share it. What do you mean? If you are saying there was no "blow back" you must've been doing some good drugs back in 2007! And if you are saying CMSF couldn't have used some more time in the oven...you must've been doing some good drugs back in 2007! CMSF was in a hard state upon release...to BFC's credit they stuck by it and whipped 'er into shape...but it definitely had more teething than it would've if Paradox wouldn't have been involved. Even us non bitchy, go with the flow guys, saw that. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m saying that I don’t think Steve would support the comments made by “Erwin” (I even quoted him to give my comment some context) - nothing more, nothing less. Certainly it would have been better without out the externally created “release no later than” date from Paradox (and then the ongoing support issues). Hence the now lack of Paradox involvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Well the only thing I can come up with then, from the quote, after re-reading it would be that there will be "never again" moments? Either way, no biggie. CM:BN will be well worth the wait however long it takes...the DARs are showing that. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm guessing Pre Orders within a week or two of the last preview. Either then or Feb 2012 I guess it is easily possible that the previews could happen within the pre-order period. But who knows really, I'd say the only sure thing is the game being released after the previews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 My bet is that for the first time in CM era, we will have a historical anniversary release (6th of June) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakuth Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 My bet is that for the first time in CM era, we will have a historical anniversary release (6th of June) lol! I'm new. But even I know that the only thing you have assured is that it is definitely NOT going to be released on D-Day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Excuse me Mr twelve posts(), how can you be certain about that?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Well Mr 1,300 posts, () since: CMBO didn’t come out on 6 June, and CMBB didn’t come out on 22 June, and CMAK didn’t come out on any significant date in the North African campaign, and CM:A didn’t come out on 27 Dec There’s a reasonable trend here - don’t you think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Ah but that's my betting pattern right there. Its like the roulette, after consecutive blacks you place your money on red. It has to happen once! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstars Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Ah but that's my betting pattern right there. Its like the roulette, after consecutive blacks you place your money on red. It has to happen once! Yeah, but thats 364 Blacks to one Red. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yeah, but thats 364 Blacks to one Red. No no no...The game will be released no earlier than April and no later than June/July. Previews will take place around February/March, so no ealrier than that, and game seems finsihed enough to not go beyond mid summer (Also, Steve needs some vacations). This puts the release roughly between May/June/July. So, its already 90 to 1. Not that bad till now. Optimist will say May, pessimist will say July. So, Steve says June-he is quite a balanced type. 30 to 1. From all the June days, one is D-DAY. Its so damn obvious! I bet 5$ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 6th June is a Monday. Not a very good day to release a game I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Seem to remember BF suggesting sometime ago that day, date, time of release does not matter to them as they are not like other developers that need X sales in X time , BF are happy to see a steady flow over a long period of time. I maybe wrong but im sure something like this was suggested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 So no chance of a March release then? Thats what i was praying for 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
