Release date

[Rag_&_Bone]

Amazon.com are taking pre-order fro ctp2 with a release date of 1/11/2000.

Do we Know that date is accurate.

[Slax]

No. These pre-release dates at online stores are always made-up. I think we've been told November, but I would expect it at least a month late.

But it must be out before christmas.Think of the presents.Me and a friend has already planed to give each other the game and play during the holydays.

[ZENMASTER]

well gamespot has published a release date and they're usually pretty accurate
according to them it should be out in 14/11/00

I wouldn't plan anything until it is announced as "gold". At that point theres little left to stop it from being released.

Hello,

Samurai is right (I admit it )

To all on this forum: Do not worry, the game will be in stores at least two weeks before Christmas.

Bye (especially for Samurai)

From the FAQ:

quote: Q: When will Call to Power II be released? A: Call to Power II is scheduled for a November 2000 release. As with all software in development, this date could shift.

If I were to guess I'd say the last week of November or the first week of December. I don't think they'll let it go any later than that because of Christmas.

Got to go with the flow here and say the most likely thing is that we'll see it pre-Xmas. However, if what we see is a load of bug-ridden pants, I suspect there are going to be some pretty unhappy posts appearing here.

Activision be warned...................

THe friday after thanksgiving is 'black friday' the busiest shopping day of the year. it is when all the christmas sales usually start up. i expect it will be _pushed_ in the last week of november.

just my 2¢

I've been badgering the manager of the local Software Etc store every week to see if CtP II was in the their computer with a potential date yet. As of yesterday it finally showed up with a "for sale" date of 8 November 2000. Since it wasn't in the sales data base at all the day before, this may be the latest information.
Of course, in my past experience, the sales dates given out by the companies slip anyway from 1 week to 3 months about 1/3 of the time, so this may simply be the earliest conceivable time that the company thinks they can ship it, not a realistic date. We'll see - and I'll keep an eye on the store's computer for changes...

Did they say WHICH November (!!!)

Seriously though,

Are we forgetting we live in different parts of the world?

It'll probably be released in the US in nov, don't forget, they have to translate it, etc.

The rest of the world will probably have to wait until January or something!

but if the language is the same we can expect it at about the same time right??

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

That would be the logical explanation, but the answer will probably be no.

Britian (I don't know about Australia)usually has to wait until after the US has released a game.

Dunno why, (looking at the recent sim games, its probably because they have to think of a new name!)

I may be wrong, but I think Australia got CTP at the same time as the US.

I don't remember when CTP was released here, but in view of other PC games (ESPECIALLY SIM GAMES, MAXIS) they always seem to be released later.
