"Hi Guys

Well we already are working with our dealers down under to bring the cost down. We have not forgot about our Aussie customers. Details will be made once we have something solid which I expect will be closer to release time....


Brillant!:)

Does it come with a free set of samurai swords?

Hi

I bought Medal of Honor: Allied Assult for 50$ and finished the game in two days. WITP? A game that I will likely play for 10-15 years. Its expensive but worth every cent. It will hurt at first (I'm a poor student) but I dont mind since I know what I'm getting.

It's very good value for money. XBOX games cost about the same and nobody plays them longer than a couple of weeks.
There are going to be new scenarios for that one for a long time to come.

I used to play Garys old War in the pacific, for years Ive been waiting for a game like this. Whats 150 bucks for fullfilling a dream, especially for a game that is going to keep me amused for years!.Besides, 150 bucks vercesa big computer upgrade that this will involve for me is nothing.
Anyprice to give the emperor glory!!:D
Ps. Beer is good

Besides Dave you're married. What else are you going to spend the money on?;)

Yeah yeah, I know all the pros, and having enjoyed UV (playing it non stop) I will be getting it.....just came as a shock when I converted it to Aussie $.

Mate, when you are married you have little money left for yourself:(

Another reason why you have little money left.

True enough but you still have more money left than when you're divorced;)

Besides I'm sure Dave knows of some much less acceptable (to the wife anyway) diversions.

Greetings, I seem to recall paying over $80 for Pac War in 1995
I have never regretted it (or even thought about it till now that I see WITP will cost even less.)
Given the thousands of hours I've spent playing Pac War it was one of the cheapest games ever.
UV has already consumed untold hours and I have yet to get to the bottom of it.
I'm just glad they have not found a way to charge us by the hour.

I'd skip the first part - but wholeheartedly agree with the second...

I guess to much time in the outback for the first part, but TOTALLY on the second part!

you are a good player.

but i think MOH has so nice graphics that it should be played over a longer period to see all details....

Hi

I really like MOH and found that playing it online really gave the game new life. I was making a simple comparison and maybe it sounded like I was trashing MOH.

okay.

but i don´t think it makes sense to compare 3D action with a grognard game, even if both handle WW2;)

and i think making a game like MOH is a simmilar difficult work for programmers/designers than like "our strategy games". but if you see some "TRASH" games on the market that´s of course not the case. MOH is sold for 29.90 € in some german shops (special price). i think 70$ is a little bit heavy for ANY game, but if WITP goes like i except it, i will buy it regardless, because i like "big picture,micromanament,historic wargames" since i played "second front" on amiga computer

Well considering the amount of man-hours put into the game, and the smaller market; $70 is not that bad......Matrix is being realistic, IMHO. They need to stay afloat just like any other company. Heck the cost of computer games really hasn't risen that much over the last decade, they have actually stayed below inflation on cost increase....

Maybe Matrix / 2by3 should put a time playing counter into the game so we can tell how much time we have wasted, I mean spent playing, and know what a bargian we got.

Byt maybe this is something that should be able to be disabled so it can't be used against anyone in divorce court.
