Comments on: Signs Point to Au http://relicnews.com/archives/2007/09/signs-point-to-au/ The definitive source for all things Relic Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:35:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.10 by: Relicnews | Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts is Gold http://relicnews.com/archives/2007/09/signs-point-to-au/#comment-30917 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 14:49:44 +0000 http://relicnews.com/archives/2007/09/signs-point-to-au/#comment-30917 [...] I’m still very annoyed at THQ though. The multiplayer connectivity in the Beta is still functionally impaired for users behind NAT connections (behind a router essentially) in spite of the improvements from Monday’s patch. At this point, I think the best we can hope for is a Zero Day Patch that helps improve the multiplayer compared to what they have released to us in the Beta so far (I doubt there’s unreleased components that are coded and ready to go for multiplayer, as they’d have gotten them to us already). Heck, the way Relic Online is structured, they could ship the game with only the ability to sign into Relic Online, get a warning that you need a patch, and then download the actual guts of Relic Online the first time you try to get into Multiplayer.

As for amazon.co.uk, they give a release date for Duke Nuke'm Forever on 30 March 2008... Enough said. :-D I’ve been checking the ship date for CoH:OF on five different webshops here in Sweden, and they unanimously give the date 9 November.

Decisions about whether a game makes "Gold" status lie at the publisher's feet, not the developers.

That's a seperate entity all together. Buggo's away on Vacation, and I have an inquiry out to her about the gold status of the game. It looks like THQ might be moving the release to September 24th. As a side note, end of September is the end of a financial quarter for THQ by the looks of it, so that *might* explain the move to that release date. LordZon: So you're saying it would be *more* professional to simply smile and nod when publishers push developers to release the game before they're good to go? How about no. Peter: See my last post re: connectivity. Greatly improved tonight, and I look forward to testing tomorrow's patch as well. DribbleSack:

The game has been like this for since day one of Vanilla COH and Uberjumper has been the one gathering up all the information and making connectivity FAQ's. Kudos to you man. So i can see that youre pretty sick of this foolishness that relic do. I agree with your statement I think he is absolutely right!

Personally I think it would be suicide to release it on the 24th of September mainly because of that thing called Halo 3.

Still, a statement on the home page should reflect the consensus view across Relicnews staff. It is a rather strange comment to made by a fan site too.

Telling people not to play the game. Most of us play it just fine. Have faith in Relic. That was very unproffesional Uber. Telling people not to play the game. Most of us play it just fine.
