Release date

I am norwegian and here ctp1 was released 2-3 days before the US release.
It is actualy quite often games are released earlyer in europe than in US. But i think we will see ctp2 within the same week.

Are you kidding!!??
I have NEVER seen a game been released in Europe before US! (as you can see Christian B, i'm also from Norway) :-)

It is true. Another game that was scheduled for release in europe before the us was "star trek botf", but then the release was postponed a week in europe.
I remember posting a message on a forum that i got ctp1, and that was indeed a couple of days before the us release.
But we will just have to wait and see with ctp2.

If it says the 14th, then it will be the 14th, I cannot stress more that there is nothing in heaven or hell that would get Activision to change a game's release date (even if the developers insisted it was still a beta!)

Jagged Alliance 2 was realesed in Europe before in the US IIRC.

See, what is the point of releasing the game later in Britian? Its not like they have to translate it.

There are quite a few european games, most notably Cossacks, that get European releases prior to ever being seen in America. Apparently stragety games do better in Europe, generally, than they do in the US.
Odds are 5-2 o a store shelf date in first week of Dec.

I heard that it would be released 27/11 in Norway. Sounded like a time that could be correct. And big games like civ games usally get released almost the same in europe and in america.

First week of December in Britian?

Where did you get this info?

The Electronics Boutique website says November (but sadly not the exact date).

I hope it is November- I want it so much I'd pay £60 for it at the moment.

(NOTE TO ACTIVISION- THIS DOES NOT MEAN SELL THE GAME FOR £60 )

The Virgin Megastore in Oxford says Nov 24 (well, we can hope) and quotes £29.95.

I really don't care what the price is. I'm going to buy it anyway. I could get a copy for free..... but cool games like civ I HAVE TO BUY

I got the information in a store here in Norway. So it seems they are going to release it before dec ..... atleast here

Gamespot shows a nov 14th release, the local borders told me they will have it on the shelves Nov. 20th and the hastings in town told me Dec 10th ::smirks::

As long as the game makes its appearance before the end of next year, I'll be happy..

Strategy Player issue 2(UK magazine) has got a 6 page preview, gives a release date of 31 November (they may mean 1 December) and says it is 80% (???) complete, which seems to raise a few questions.
