20 hours or 20 days, like it or not, we've been waiting for this game for years now. Some day, long after this release and a wave of patches....

you're gonna be glad you stood out the wait...

Its punishment for winning the Cold War :)

Shouldn't people in the USA have to wait 18months to join in- Steam should unlock it for them on Dec 7th next year, a day that will live in infamy....
I know it's a cheap shot but i couldn't help myself ;-)

Buy the russian version like some people do and have fun meanwhile! I did it and 14$ is nothing!!! downloading english version now :D

Well given many of the responses so far even from folks that have very high end systems, I'm glad we have to wait until the 19th.

There should be a few patches out by then as it looks like the product was rushed to market. I have faith in the dev team to get things sorted but hearing about crashes and studders etc says it's not ready for prime time.

I wonder if people in North,Central and South America can do with the UK version what the early adopters did with the Russian version?

Its still the 19th of April? I thought it got pushed back to the 24th. Amazon has their release for the DVD on the 26th.

Err ... timed to coincide with General Douglas MacArthur retirement from the military in 1951. :evil:

I have had no problem waiting for the North American release simply because many of the problems encountered so far will be solved by then.
No use having it now and pulling out my hair because it doesn't run properly.

Its the biggest market. We're consumers and consumption is 70+% of our GDP.
