Chinook47 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Damn, I just got home from work. I forced myself not to check the site all day. I grabbed the IPad to check Battlefront for the announcement. No joy. Looks like it is another night of chasing skirts at the local watering hole. Come on guys, statistically my days are numbered if I keep up this lifestyle. For the love of God man, release the damn thing and free me!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 You do know there is no iPad version don't you. Anyway it will be out when its ready - but I wouldn't hold my breath just yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Ah, I always mix 9 and 6 for a strange reason. I had the Russian Victory day on my mind. Thanks for the clarification. The first atomic bomb used against an enemy was dropped on August 6, 1945, and the second three days later on August 9. Given the historical importance of those two events, the release of CMBN could be put off until August if you like. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymru Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 My sister's birthday is May 14th, so I am sure that will be the release date 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJJ Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 You do know there is no iPad version don't you. Not going to stop me from trying to run CMBN on my iMac via a VNC client like Screens on my iPad 2. I've run Photoshop and Cinema 4D so I'll give it a try for fun. It probably won't be fun, but I'll snap a pic anyway just for giggles. Is it May 4 to 11 yet?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Is it May 4 to 11 yet?? Nope. Nor is it May 12 to whenever. I hope the local Pharmacies are stocking up on anti depressants so people can buy them when it doesn't ship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFCElvis Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Ref, can we get a ruling? The "regular" PC release still mentions the "end of April" as the target date (rather than the start of May). The first two weeks of May seem covered by the Mac release notes. Free time must be allotted, vacations planned, births put off, sleep schedules plotted, monkeys must be refreshed, Mac OS Lions must be tamed, etc, etc. Then again, I've always liked surprises so today works nicely as well. Not to be a stickler but the actual quote is "around the end of April". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yes indeed. I think most have chosen to ignore that "around" can indeed mean "later than" as well as "earlier than" or for that matter, the size of "later". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadekster88 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I've learned as a PC gamer that the only time a game I want to play has been released is when I am sitting at my PC and am actively playing it. Until then this game is for all intents and purposes about the same as vaporware from my perspective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volodnikov Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I have a feeling that the April statement is outdated. "Around the end of April" does imply that it could be in May, but if the game is no longer expected to release in April, wouldn't it be kind of pointless to mention April at all? Yeah, I'm thinking about this too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Except of course that when the statement was written they may have indeed been aiming for such a release date and mentioned it in good faith (or at least to satisfy the clamour of posts asking "when will it be ready?" that seemed to fill the first X pages of this forum when it was launched). It is of course not impossible that things have since happened, after that was written, to make that date no longer achievable, despite their best efforts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skelley Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yes indeed. I think most have chosen to ignore that "around" can indeed mean "later than" as well as "earlier than" or for that matter, the size of "later". It sure can mean later.... I seem to remember them saying they weren't gonna release it before Christmas because they wanted to enjoy the holidays. Didn't know they meant 4th of July. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Last word still up on Website has up to May 11th as within the time frame. I am being optimistic that Moon's statement suggests they are still within that time frame, but never having produced a game it may mean nothing of the sort. I'm working on the public viewer manual this week. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finalcut Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'm telling you guys.4/29 is release date.In recognition of 4th ID landing and 29th ID landing.Both divisions were the tip of the spear on the two American beaches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Well as 4/29 doesn't exist as a date for the rest of the planet (we only have 12 months ) - a bit pointless really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSX Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Not to be a stickler but the actual quote is "around the end of April". That means before May or they would have said, 'Around the beginning of May'. I was kind of hoping it would have been out already as Im off work for 2 weeks and its beginning to be a wee bit wall to wall Royal wedding right now! Im also missing my PS3 network fix and so between Sony and BF both are managing to screw with my insomnia by forcing me to read books and other boring stuff! My guess is Friday, last working day before the end of April........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJJ Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I interpret "Around the end of April" to mean "Around the beginning of May". Yup. F sharp is still G flat and all that. Roughly May 4-11 according to BF's last mention, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 ..t,I am an American,Irish,Scotch,Frenchman,With a dash of Pequat Indian and a slight bit of Norse.Throw in a bit of Cherokee Indian and a tiny peice of Italian.I'm a fricken mutt. Not trying to be pedantic honest but being born in Scotland we are refereed to as "Scottish" or "Scots" ... i feel better now ... "Scotch" is a drink .... which we are quiet partial too (but we call it "Whisky" locally .. ("Can" open , worms everywhere )). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake_eye Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 To find out the release date reminds me of Intelligence being gathered in the past and given a A1 rating. Every time without any exception the things turned out differently. Every time, the guys having worked on it said, they were sure that their Intelligence gatherings were nonetheless good. They always had an explanation to explain why the things went wrong, but none to explain why it did happen. On my part, from what I had read, I thought that the 26th could be the date. It doesn’t seem to turn out that way. So, let it be. Let’s cool, breathe slowly, try not to think of it and it will be a pleasure to get the Email announcing the beginning of the downloading, when time comes. No more guessing on my part, after all I don’t have any reason to stress, it’s only a game release and not an attack and or a terrorist threat to counter. BTW, why don’t you make a lottery the winner would get the privilege to be the first one to download the game, before every one else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
