Q1 2011 will close end......

[Extension7]

I'm sure they have everything planned and like they have said many times, they are trying to make sure the game is as polished as possible

Still, a beta would be nice, even though the game is not finished, they still have been doing play tests with interviewers and TWB, so maybe something is heading our way soon.

 

[Fedorov]

Why wouldn't they? Devs did say not too long ago (Nov?) that the beta would be "very early 2011". Now we find out in the last crossfire that melee isn't even in the game yet. It's understandably a bit confusing for fans who are just checking in on the news every now and again.

+1, those of us who are listening to every word, lost hope for an early release long ago.

I personally would prefer to start playing the game now, even if its buggy. The mod had a lot of bugs and that didn't ruin the game for me, not once.

From the business point of view, its pretty understandable tho. Normal people don't have the same patience.

TWI throw us a bone!

Exactly, some people don't know the difference between a beta and a Mulitplayer demo aka Crisis2.

 

[Chadwiick]

To be honest, I just want it to be very well polished and complete when it releases, estimated 2011, I sure can wait, there are other things to do besides sitin' on my bum going... RO2... come out me want to play, there's other things we can all do, play World of Tanks and laugh at the tank combat, playing that game makes me wonder how awesome it'll be.
And note I am talking about me.

Just because you don't know about it, doesn't mean there isn't a beta.

Keep in mind the beta phase people will really get into is the final phase where we plan to have thousands of keys available for it.

 

[TodSky]

I have been thinking for a while it will be out in April, I will stubbornly stick to that until I am bitterly disappointed! Me and my poor unit could not coupe with the idea of having to spend until a time as late as July! Still playing the tired old RO:Ost and the only slightly better Darkest Hour mod...

it would be better to not get a beta until the game is ready for one, especially since the beta will be taken as a demo, and not as a beta.

Why even call it a beta? 90% of the people will use it as a "demo", which would be the reason we wont be getting it until much later on I take it.

Well, I don't care when it comes. So long as it's the good stuff from you lot at TWI.

Can I have a key?

 

[Tr00per Buzzdee]

Hopefully there will be info about beta and a release date not too long ahead.

I am really not the person here going crazy for updates or anything else, but - when people from websites were playing RO2 matches with TWI, it would have been a nice chance to give us some new ingame footage (of those matches)

I assumed it will be released in early march, dont know why actually xD. Then i recently checked amazon.com and the publisher 1c Company site and it both says Q3 2011, so i assume this is quite accurate.

just forget about the game and do other stuff,try to get laid for a change. Then it will be released faster as you can think...

You can PM me a key when you feel like it.

True, and yet at the same time those people who hang on every word are basically the same people that listen to a 2 hour long podcast and wait for "beta in early 2011" to be mentioned by one of the developers. They didn't paste that on the front page of their website.

Steam and other retailers proclaiming Q1 2011 is confusing if you don't browse forums, but I don't relate that to what the developers said on the Bashcast a while back.

Hearing it straight from a dev's mouth is less valid than seeing it posted on the website?

 

[vonschnitzel]

They have to be very careful now
BF3 and COD title late this yeah and several other title which will be up there.

Brink
Homefront

They will have to release it late March or April cause when November hits you might as well forget releasing it for 2011

However if they keep delaying it and end up releasing it around 2012 it will be like playing the old C64 game "Elite" Graphics compared to the new game engine graphics like BF3 will have.

On another point the community here that is VERY loyal deserve to have some footage or Pics or a Release date or something.Its just not right

You would think so, but obviously not

As someone else said, it is extremely hard to believe that we didn't even get 10 seconds of footage from the TWB playtest, but 2 hours of some guy rambling aimlessly while Ramm and Wilsonam are sitting there is 'can do' So an entire day and not a 5 second clip, incredible......

I was thinking we could maybe all chip in and hire a medium to get some info?

 

[Legionar1000]

What is hard to give us a new images? And yes, many people would rather take a BF3 or even Brink than RO2. Do something to even more people hear for RO2, becouse TWI success is the success for the PC scene

 

[Snuffeldjuret]

The question (I feel) is if TWI is looking for (more) beta-testers or just beta-players, as in do they really need help with beta-related stuff or just want people to talk good about the game from gamers perspective before it releases?

If TWI's view on "a beta" has changed during 2010 as they said, have their view on "beta-testers" also changed?

Personally I am more interested in how RO2 is doing with things related to the old concept of beta than the new one.
