gibsonm Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Well you’ve got at least another 3 weeks to wait or so (otherwise the “Previews“, wouldn’t be previews). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Weeks? I think it's gunna be 3 months more, right? I wonder what stops there being, at the point of "obviously getting pretty close to ready", a "gamma test phase", where you can get betas of the game as long as you sign something that promises ... well ... almost anything. I hereby promise not to complain if I play this game, until it is released. I promise to buy it. Heck, I'll pay already... GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I now regret contributing to another of these pointless “when will it be out” threads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Tee hee hee And what's worse, it was you who _made it into_ a "when will it be out" thread. Before that we were just poking fun at ourselves for the pointless arguments we love to have while we wait... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Please Battlefront take you the time that is needed to make CMBN the greatest wargame ever ! If it means that we have to wait 3 months more thats fine for me. CMSF was realased way to early and that should not happen a second time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noxnoctum Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 -1. Polish it to perfection, THEN release it. Please not another CMSF release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Enough with the "not another CMSF" stuff. You know full well that BFC had to release the game before it was ready due to contractual obligations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 THIS is precisely why a gamma release is a wonderful idea. The folk who can't abide by anything less than perfection can wait for the official release. The folk who are just hanging out to get on and play the darn thing can sign whatever it takes and ... get on with it. How about it?

Ron Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Please, no more 'not another CMSF release' quips. Here, try this on for size. Go away for a year or two, come back when CMBN has gone through the patch cycle and released all three modules, and then voila! you'll have 'perfection'. In the interval, the rest of us can read less drivel and be enjoying the game. It's a win-win for all involved. How does that work for you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Unfortunately, in RL one doesn't get judged on "this is just a rough draft, I'm working on a much better version." People look at what you gave them. They decide if that material sucks or not, pigeonhole you as mediocre/useless or whatever, and they move on. I learned this the hard way. It's rare to get a 2nd chance. (Having a huge first hit like CM1 can give you that 2nd chance of course.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pvt. Ryan Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Well, that was the reason the game was released with so many bugs. They had a deal with another company, Paradox I believe, for distribution in certain parts of the world. They had a firm deadline which couldn't be moved. As you can see with how long it has taken to finish CMBN, it took BFC much longer than they originally planned to finish CMSF, but due to the deadline they had to release it as it was. The game was playable, but certainly not up to BFC's standards, nor those of its customers. Of course, they released several patches to get the game to where it should have been upon release. They don't have a deadline this time around, so they can wait, and have waited, until the game is where they want it to be. That doesn't mean CMBN game is "finished," because as BFC will admit, no game is ever "finished." There are always features they will have wanted to include but never could if the game was ever to be released. Things may get added with patches, or in modules, or may even have to wait until the next game. But BFC has cautioned us not to expect as many features to be added via patches to CMBN as there were with CMSF, since many of those additions were due to the incomplete state when CMSF was released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare to get a 2nd chance. (Having a huge first hit like CM1 can give you that 2nd chance of course.) The man speaks the truth. I'm sure some/most of you of are just kidding, but if any of you aren't, asking BFC to release the game early before it is ready so that a few people can play it early is like asking them to shoot themselves in the foot. And it's never, never, NEVER EVER going to happen anyways. Might as well piss on a forest fire and try to put it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFightingSeabee Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Come on guys, how many times do I have to type this?... Forget about buggy releases. It's going to be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 We all agree with that tFS. It's just an appeal for the (understandably) impatient to stop asking for premature release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noxnoctum Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yes Erwin is right. BFC won't get another second chance, so premature release = very bad idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 BFC won't get another second chance ... Not that one will be needed, anyway, but: How do you know? Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixxkiller Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Will BFC never live down the release of CMSF? Plays kinda great now doesnt it? I guess it bodes well that you guys expect so much from us. And CMBN will not have that kind of release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
