    That leaves about 2 months of beta- testing, wich to me seems right.

    So october it is

          Hmmm, if it has an on sale date at the end of Oct. then it must begin shipping to retailers about two to three weeks prior to the that. This means the whole beta period will only last four to (at most) six weeks. Don't you folks remember how it took them three months to make a patch?

          The beta period should last atleast as long as it would have taken to create one patch. We'll be lucky if they put even half that amount of time into this plus I imagine there won't be that many people actually playing the beta.

          I suspect this release will be just as buggy as the one last year.

            But the beta testers have probably been testing "something that isn't the beta" since the last patch came out.

                    Seems to me that PTW will be an aesthetic upgrade, with MP thrown in.

                    Nothing, FOR ME, to get excited here.

                      If it's beta, shouldn't Firaxis be releasing it like they did with Civ 3??

                        Yep. We've posted our wish lists, and got ignored.

                        Looks like it is just new makeup on the same old sow, as I have warned about for many weeks.

                          Yeah Coracle, everything ever said on this board has been ignored. You're right, I'm disgusted.

                            Coracle: can you finally shut up, your point has been made.

                            Besides that: what if one of the beta testers 'leaks' the game to the internet?

                              Coracle, I imagine that the reason Firaxis doesn't listen to your (sometimes quite valid) suggestions is that you've gotten them al to put you on their ignore list.

                              Cybershy, I'm sure if someone leaked the beta to the internet. That someone would be removed from the beta testers list real quick. Being a programmer in RL, when we send beta products out, we tag each one so that if it does get leaked we know who did it and who to sue. I imagine Firaxis does the same.

                              Plus, who knows, maybe they will surprise us.
