All this time I was thinking AH2 Classic was going to be released b4 AH2: TOD didn't know they had planned all of that work for a 3rd Quarter release. That would've been some feat!
Looking forward to the Classic beta.
-
Hmm, I wonder why they can't make AH2 Classic beta into online. I think they would get more people testing it then with offline only.
-
Let the whining begin;)
-
Nah, I kind of expected it. There were no pics because they were not done, and that takes alot of time. I'm hoping by xmas, but it seems like there is alot of work to be done. But the good news is the game we have works and is bug free.(cept for the space goons)
-
WHO KNEW :rolleyes:
lol... how predictable are these guys anyway?
-
You called it Tumor.
I had a bad feeling the other day when HT posted screenshots. Why post screenshots of a release that will be out in 7 days?
Now you know. Soften the blow, and then bring the hammer.
Look, AH is a great game. The graphics are long in the tooth, but the gameplay is still great. There are plenty of issues that could be resolved, but nothing is ever perfect.,
I'd like to sit here and say I'm not disappointed, but I cannot.
This is a big let down. I understand it was unavoidable, but it's disapointing none the less.
The best thing to cushion the blow would have been an updated timeline, and not a vage refernce.
We got the vague refernce, I believe, because they have a long way to go and do not have a clear picture yet.
So put those upgrade orders on hold. My guess is we're gonna be here till years end.

Hitech said in the wargamer that it will make the Q3 release...then again that was said at the con:(
This totally sucks...was getting ready for a weekend release, now...I have to wait longer. I thought this was an old thread when I first read it, but I realized soon it was no joke...
again, this totally sucks...:(
hopefully the beta will come this week tho

whaaa-whaaa-whaaa!!!
Would you prefer it to be released half done and buggy, but on time; or delayed a couple of months and done properly, you know, unlike the **** most dev teams are forced to do because of whiney people in suits called publishers, and then release a 15 meg patch during its first week?

What was the first choice again?;)

After looking at the new screenshots I'm happy it is not released yet.

The third choice, released before or on an overestimated release date. That way, it's hard to go over the deadline, and you can have extra beta testing even if it's ready to be released.
I, like Tumor, had a bad feeling that this was going to happen. Just think like a pessimist and chances are you'll be right.

first reaction ...ANGER ...
second reaction..FEEL very let down..
third reaction.. feel like closing account (but wont)
forth reaction.. calm down and resingned to the fact that i should have seen it comming.. all the years ive played this game and its always the same..promise of things then let down...
guess i wont put away my copy of forgotten battles just yet..
crying shame i call it...
and before all you brown nosers jump up.. im not interested...I like everyone else have heard it all before..:eek:
-
What Mandoble said and BTW, how can we use these news for :D?

Hey I'm not irked about the delayed release. Honestly?... I'm not even remotely excited about this "BIG" release that is mostly eye-candy. Of course, the flight characterisitc changes (or is it damage model or both??... I'm not sure) sounds like fun, but when you've been flight-simming for the better part of 15yrs... that's no big deal either. Now... were the "release" to have brought with it bunches of new aircraft (not meaning more models of spits/109's etc) I'd be running at a record whine rate. Delay a pretty picture... pfffft, big deal.
Hey it's a computer game... betting on a delayed release is about as close to money-in-the-bank as you can get.
AH2 can take another year for all I care. The recent delay in the release of LOMAC really chapped my arnold but, thats a whole different story lol.

Yup it looked like crap.

Wow, people are whining?
This is the best news I've heard!
And I fully expected it to be behind release date. Most games are, a game that is on time is usuelly unpolished and buggy.
And that is why when someone asks me when a game im working on will be done I say "It will be done when its done, no sooner, no later; and when it is done it will be worth playing!"
-
One of the rules of game developments is never to strictly limit yourself on time.
Thats why nearly no game ever gets released right on time as they thought it would.
Quality and perfection should not be sacrificed in favor of time I believe.
I believe in taking the time to do something right, and it will be done when its done.
As time does not exist, wether it will be done 1 hour or 1 year from now, that time will come. It is now, and only now. theres no tommorrow or yesterday. only today, and today tommorrow, and the next day. Time was jsut invented to express now that used to be or will be.
Its so funny our entire way of life is built around something that exists only in our minds! :D
-
Whatever..
-
There is not much in the gameworld released on time.
I would not expect with AH2 either
-
true true like when in hell is Medal Of Honor The Rising Sun supposed to come out
-
Online Offline Crap just release something for gads sake:confused:

Baby want his bottle?

:lol Hang on, I just had a burrito. Gimme 5 minutes, I'll release "something."
Do you really think HTC is going to release something like that? You *****ing at them doesn't help any, either. Trust me, they know how the playerbase feels.
-
Well I was right. They didn't make the 3rd qrt. I figure that it was way to big of a project for them to make it. But they are close. I can wait.
