Franko Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I know you guys have to keep it all ambiguous and stuff, but a concrete release date and time would suuuuuuuuurrre be nice for your loyal fans. I want to be able to clear my calendar that day, and game like a loon. Many other fans would gleefully take a day off (or two) to geek it up on CMBN. So..if you can..give up a release date. C' mon. You know we love you. Love us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I stopped in here to see if there was "Franko's Rules of Release Dates", or somefink When the demo comes out the game should be right behind it. That will give you a warning shot across the bow, so to speak. And no, I'm not going to tell you when the demo is coming out. But nice try.

silverstars Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 DAMMIT! I just finished up Mass Effect 2, which kept my attention while waiting for CMBN to come out. And Il2COD has been pushed back a month(Although from everything I've seen it needs to be), so there is nothing to occupy my brain now. I've read Antony Beevor's "D-Day" THREE times while waiting for this game!!! In the words of the Python boys, "GET ON WITH IT!!!!!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Not much of a grey area for your idea of side hobbies, is there? As to the former, I'm not much of bird person, and my work schedule precludes parks for anything but weekends. As to the latter, I'm a 33 year old single male with an internet connection. So your suggestion comes a bit late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy the RAID without the case and jam the drives and controller into the fancy case when it turns up. Chuck the disc that comes in the fancy case to make room - its over rated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sorta like telling Picasso to hurry up and drop that last bit of paint on the canvas. And really, there is a bit of art in what you're doing, so I don't want to be the "hurry up" guy. But some of us are really busy men, and I want a proper "man-cation" and I gotta plan it. So hurry up, Picasso, and finish your painting or I'll poop on your paintbrush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I think if they really knew when it was going to be ready they would tell us. I'm willing to wait another week for them to get the landing craft and flamethrowers working perfectly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibsonm Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Don't forget that little word "around". The full quote in context being: "Battle for Normandy is scheduled for release around the end of April, 2011." Which is different to just "End of April". I too am keen to get it, but don't intend to read more into the statement than what was actually said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the intention then it would have been much better to say "around start of May" instead I reckon. In essence is the same thing (even if you consider the border between months an infinitesimal discrete change). Point to avoid precisely my kind of reaction, manage expectations and would not have cost a thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, and this has been said before, when the statement was made, they may well have believed that it actually could be released before the end of this month, only to have unanticipated delays crop up in the meantime. Why is that so hard to understand? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that so hard to understand? Michael I do not think it is not understood. I can understand delays. Just thought it was much better from an expectations management point of view to state "around start of May", as it is essentially the same thing and would have also equally covered late april delivery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Right. So does this really mean that your stated End of April deadline will not be met? There is no deadline. The game will be released when it is ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 But I suspect from a marketing point of view "around start of May" doesn't sound as close as "around the end of April". A bit like "$1.99" sounds better than "$2.00". But anyway it will be out shortly after the Demo ships. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McTasty Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Enough with all the fanboi-ism and misplaced patience! We demand the games' release within 48 hours or this woman will be mailed to you one piece at a time!!!

I suppose thats not much of a threat. No one cares about Roseanne Barr... But if you were to threaten the cubs... well then. We would have a crisis on our hands, sir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, is going "Gold" still the CMBN project's penultimate milestone like it was way back in the Dark Ages of CMBO's CD-ROM?
