Patience is a virtue
Patience is a virtue
You guys at DH have nothing to worry about, regardless of the release date. Once DH is released to the public, everyone in the RO community will be checking it out (free is very hard to pass up, even for impatient people). I hope there is enough server and bandwidth to accommodate the first release day. And I feel most will be playing it for a long time with all of the quality to new weapons, new vehicles, beautiful maps and nice uniforms. The attention to historical detail will capture everyone playing this mod.
I have play-tested some of the maps a while ago and can't give any details, but you will see effects that you didn't think this engine can do. Well worth the wait.
I don't believe that this mod can even be compared to the next gen games for a few reasons: first, its free (did I mention that already

?), second its a mod based on an already established community (if you are reading this, need I say more?), and third, its still using Unreal 2.X which means new and older computers will run it great and is "tried and true" on server and client side(not a hundred updates for bugs like new games). There are lots of reasons this mod will be played by many players and for a long time.
DH team, take your time, get it exactly the way you want it. We will be patiently waiting.
