Lt Belenko 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. We will even wait another 2 weeks for Bren Gun Tripods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'm never sure if Steve's daily posting pace is good news (his part is done! ) or a bad (game is still weeks away ). 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? Glenn Every time Steve has to post in a "are we there yet?" thread, the game gets delayed an hour. Think before you post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cull Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 So go to the park and feed the pigeons. Or get heavily into porn. Your call. Michael Thankfully, today's mobile technologies allow me...I mean...would allow one...theoretically, of course...to do both simultaneously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkchapuis 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. Steve Somebody else asked this, but since it wasnt answered officially, I will throw it out there again. So the "end of April" is out? Or is that still possible? Is it now "middle of May"? I am not complaining if it needs to be bumped, but if it definitely isnt "end of April" then I think it would be courteous to let us know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Xmas 2011 would be a great time to release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Xmas 2011 would be a great time to release. If you like, BFC can arrange to mail your copy just in time to get caught up in the Christmas mail congestion rush. Only a nominal extra charge for that.

Erwin Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Ok, ok... seriously though, personally I think BF products are too cheap - given that extra programmers/help etc would clearly help with rate of publication of products. So, here's a poll question: How much extra money would you pay for CMBN if the money would help get CMBN released by next weekend? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 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. Steve Hmm...that's interesting. The demo coming out before the game. That's been awhile since that has happened. At least I think so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 How much extra money would you pay for CMBN if the money would help get CMBN released by next weekend? Not a nickel. I am very patient. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Viajero Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hmm...that's interesting. The demo coming out before the game. That's been awhile since that has happened. At least I think so. Exactly the same thoughts! At least we get to play the demo a bit before full release... although Steve suggested both will come really back to back. Or is it just me misunderstanding things (again)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Balboa Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Absolutely, release the demo early if possible and take an extra week to get the game polished up. Make it happen #1 ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkWGriswold Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 How much extra money would you pay for CMBN if the money would help get CMBN released by next weekend? Bumping up the release date by two weeks isn't worth much to me. I want to play as badly as anyone else, but it's not like I can't occupy myself for two more weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'm kinda glad it's apparently getting pushed back a bit, I have finals this week and next so I don't really need the distraction. I have just stopped coming to these boards. Well, I still check once a day for demo/release, wouldn't want to miss out. It's like when you are waiting in class or something, time moves slower if you keep looking at the clock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we get to play the demo a bit before full release... although Steve suggested both will come really back to back. Or is it just me misunderstanding things (again)? My guess is they will be very close to the same date. This isn't like back in '99 when the beta demo was out for months before the game came out. I seem to recall that when CMSF came out, that the demo was weeks later, and demos have not come out before game releases in many years. Either way, I'm sure to play the demo a dozen times or more. When the time gets closer, I will leave my desktop on at home, and then if I see it's released while I'm at work I'll remote into it and do the download and install while Im at work so when I get home I can start playing right away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 It's also not like any monetary incentive would hasten it at all. BFC won't release the game until it's ready, and while the game itself can be considered finished, they still haven't decided on the desktop icon. It's the first thing that a player will see when he starts the game, so it must be perfect, even if it takes a few more weeks and several hundred icon designs. You can't rush a creative process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I knew there was a very good and valid reason for the additional delay. Makes perfect sense now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkWGriswold Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 On Wednesday, 20 April 2011 the main Battlefront.com website posted the update about OSX availability. On that day they said "Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy is scheduled for release within the next 14-21 days". That would put the absolute earliest release as the first week of May. I think you can pretty much forget about April. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another AAR going on right now. No offense to the guys who've posted AARs and VAARs so far, but I personally think this is the best one yet. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=96031 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
