My Guess is on the the Chrismas Sale...
but we'll see

[vmxa1]

You look like a SMAC player. Yeah I am not counting on that date, it is just what is being peddled around at this time.

[Carver]

Well on the back of my Civ3 "manual" it says first contact Q1 2002... but I'll be happy with a Xmas release, just make sure its kickarse.

[vmxa1]

Well it looks like 2002 is out. Preorders are being told that it has slip to Q1 2003.

[MarkG]

not.
read the news.

[vmxa1]

Not sure what you are saying. The notice did go out, go to EB and see the ship date is now 1/2003. I know Infogrames is sticking with Q4 still. So I maybe wrong about the date, but the fact is noctices were sent. Which is correct, I do not know and neither do you. What I posted was accurate at that time.

[MarkG]

the "not" part was going to your "2002 is out" comment
it's wrong, just read our moo3 section....

[vmxa1]

I only said it looks like it is out, not that it is in fact out. As I said we will see. History shows that when preorders slip, so does the product ship date.

Cory says it's still gonna be out in less than 2 months?

It's gonna be out either without a beta test, or with an internal-only beta test, then, as far as I can tell.

I guess they just couldn't bear to break with the 3-major-patch tradition, to get the bugs and balance issues at least partially addressed...

No multiplayer?

Huh? MOO3 will definitely support multiplayer...

QS said long ago it would be a closed beta—"Don't call us, we'll call you"
