You are so cool Tree_UK.

It is good you are perking us all up with good news for a change.

I'm not being sarcastic or cynical. It's good you are entering a brighter world of positive thinking... and I hope you are right.

It would be great if I could Oleg distibuir tasks between us, if we could do something more to help, but unfortunately everything has to be done by a small team before the greatness and the quality of the work to be done.
I hope Oleg find a way to receive more cooperation for help the work, theres a lot of volutaries.

The next call of duty is due out in 6 months , pre orders have already started.
StarCraft 2 has been due out for like forever, and have had pre-orders for years, now finally release is 27th of July 2010.

I usually pre order my games, tho only titles i know have a firm date.. i mean for instance there is no point in pre ordering Duke Nukem Forever,
neither Storm of War yet since there is no official words on the date and we've been waiting for years. Only time i buy it in stores is if i've missed out on a
game and just discovered it spontaneously in the store or something, otherwise i preorder most of my stuff.

Last but not least, don't pay money upfront , just use options like : Bill 14 days after arrival or something..
as there is no point in giving them your money until the products have shipped...unless its a direct pre-order deal with the developers to support their work.

Thank you
