Fair enough - constructive input is always appreciated.

A lot of people are contacting us directly or asking us in other forums or threads on this forum about the release date. Let me just reiterate that our policy is to only release the game when it is ready. We don't work to a fixed date. Instead we work to a fixed standard of product. So the release date is subject to progress and by the nature of this development, involving so much original R&D, we cannot prescribe or predict with absolute certainty how long things will take.
So please be patient. We are close to finishing. But we still have a few things to do and testing is still throwing up a few things that need attention. For instance, this week it was discovered that the rate of advance by the American 4th Arm Div in the Bastogne scenarios was too great compared with the historical. Further analysis and research revealed that the move rates for the snow ground conditions were too generous. So we have had to tweak these back and retest. But this affects the tutorial scenario, which is all in snow and since I did not want to start the tutorial movies all over again, I had to write some special case code to use the original snow rates for the tutorial scenario.
I will continue to post progress reports here on a regular basis. In the meantime, please do not be offended if i don't reply to each and every email about the release date. I think it best I focus on getting the product finished. Thanks for your understanding. [:)]
Sounds like a lack of self-control![:)]ORIGINAL: loyalcitizen
Will the demo get posted before we can buy the game? (Would be nice...)
I just can't believe that the team has been working on the data content for almost 4 years now, and Dave is calling in all edits by next week. I remember when all we had was bug-riddled maps, beta versions of COTA, and a half-baked estab file to test them with.
