Release date ?
« on: December 19, 2009, 01:12:51 PM »
Its 19th December, just wondering if the mod is going to be released before Christmas, like you said it would. Its getting a bit tiresome, don't you have a schedule or deadline ? (No offense intended)   

   
Wojtek was a brown bear adopted by the 22nd Artillery Supply Company of the Polish II Corps, durring the Battle for Monte Cassino he carried Ammunition crates to the Field Guns, never dropping a single one.

Way back in '07 Blizzard announced Starcraft 2 and slated it for an '08 release.

I think you can wait an extra week or two.

Man, I sure do hope... This mod will be beast... Almost (probably just as) as beast as this game was when I first bought it!  ;D

BigBear I don't think you can ask "when is release" followed by "its getting tiresome...don't you have a deadline" and then throw in a "no offense".

I'll echo Crezth that greatness takes time.

And don't forget...all the devs are spending their own time, for free, building a public mod that all of us will get hundreds of hours of enjoyment out of. I think the least we can all do is be understanding, supportive, and anxiously optimistic about the project.


ps. fingers crossed for an x-mas release!

Nope, he's not. He'd be a hypocrite if he then proceeded to grill the devs, but he didn't. He expressed hope for a Christmas release is all.

You see, he wasn't criticizing BigBear's hoping for a Christmas release - we all want that - he was criticizing BigBear's attitude which he perceived as a little entitled.

If we had a deadline the mod would be dead by now :D. No, really, we're just going to get it finished before we're releasing it.

 - DUDE! If he was a hippocrate, then he'd be a doctor.
 Seriously...
 Considering the time I spend in a rubber foam padded room,
 you'd think I'd know the difference by know. Hypocrit or Hippo
 crate ;)
 
 - http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/137949-/MoW_RT_17-noscale.jpg
 
 - Dude. It's human nature. Good or bad.
 If we didn't give a shit about the mod... no one would care,
 or say anything. The forums would be empty ... and devs
 would have no criticism, or pressure whatsoever, or fans,
 or public...

 ... But... now they got something we WANT.
 And our hunger grows... so we have to resort to death
 threats, kidnapping their toy poodle, insult, injury and
 perjury... in order to get our fix...

 They've created a ... NEED... ;) And they're feeding us
 drop by drop... it's like slow torture. Of course we fight
 back! Lol.

 I've learned long ago that human kind was utterly,
 completely insane. Just live with it, go with the flow.

 I've already begun by bombing HolyBurrito's university.
 Should make his vacation longer ;) ... If he'd stop playing
 Men of War, that is ;)

 ... Romans said... build a golden bridge... for a retreating
 enemy ;) / I say blow the shit out of all obstacles... so that
 you can get fix sooner ;)

 ... Now just need to find obstacles stopping other devs ;)
 (Girlfriends, family, cars in needs or repairs, flat tires,
 bills to be paid, work, university, social lives, XBox, MoW,
 Solitaire, Tetris, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Kitty Island
 Adventures, World of Warcraft...)...

 If all the fans were to group together, and free the devs
 from all other (looking for word)... distractions... and to
 apply suitable pressure... ;) We could help them pony up
 the fix that they've so joyfully dangled in front of our
 very noses, made us hungry, angry... insanely hungry and...
 
 ... Oh no, they're coming to lock me up again in the rubber
 - foam cell room, n439 2rsd1mdf;em...l

You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

 Well, I would, but Starcraft2 will probably come out before
 they're done... ;)

Yeesh I didn't think my little post would cause so much controversy. My "fingers crossed" was intended as a joke at the whole situation.

'Tis true, I would love for the mod to come out ASAP but of course I understand the challenges the devs face and I will stand by, steadfast, until the eventual release when we will relish in the destruction of the Nazis under T-34 treads, whether it be 4 short days from now, Dec. 25th, 2010 or anywhere in between.

And thank you Crezth...I think we're all guilty of wanting the mod release soon (as evidenced by topics, replies, sigs, and flames for updates or info of any kind), I simply think it is unjustified for anybody to stroll onto the forums and harass the devs for not having released it yet.

Agreeable. And the devs DO have lives ya know. Christmas parties, (maybe) people over... I mean, really.
