"I would like to say about incorrect information of release date"


I think that is all that was said on the matter...could be March first, or October 2nd for all we know

[Feathered_IV]

Yep. Page one of this thread. Are you guys sure you looked all over?

I see what you mean now. I read that. I thought the exact date came out of his mouth is what you meant..sorry.

My biggest concern is when was the Beta testing held? We jump from 90% complete to a semi-official release date, completed box art etc...

No real info on system specs, especially online specs.

And what about the DRM. (please this is not a rant for or against the drm, Really I do not care what they use as long as it actually works, ubisofts always on did not. If they have fixed it fine, but SH5 proved what happems to a game used as an experiment.

I have that sinking feeling that this is being rushed out the door with the normal Ubisoft "We will patch it if people buy it" attitude. What they did to Silent Hunter 5 made me sick!

That said loved the screenshots and i am betting I upgrade my computer very soon lol.

One thing I would like to know is when a publisher announces when a game is coming out is that it...does it come out on that date? Didn't Oleg say something about that in November? Someone in here must know how it works.

I don't think that this is anything to worry about considering Oleg's intention to move into Korea, and 1C also have TeamD as a backup.
UBI are just a dead loss, with no longevity interests in a game/sim.

Well ubi will want it out the door ASAP,finished or not.

Historically, Il-2 products such as the FB 1.02 patch, Pacific Fighters, PF "Betty" patch and Pe-2 addon have tended to average 6 to 9 months after their Ubi-predicted release date. SoW was an exception for this, being first announced close to five years ago.

I suspect you are right. There must be considerable pressure on MG at the moment for a release candidate. The mention that the game won't ship with a German single player campaign suggests that there has been a few cuts made. Presumably more than one. One might also surmise that if Ubi is indeed bringing such pressure to bear, then Maddox Games must have signed on officially with them recently.
