I dont think its good to release too early, it can be unplayable for many people or even all ( maybe just because of one thing not working like some textures so you get weird graphics or a lever in the cockpit or whatever) and because noone knows which issues are just still beta ( issues the developers are aware of) or are intended ( at least for final beta release) the forums would explode by guessing and whining.

Something tells me that is going to happen, regardless of the outcome. :D

That's a given. It's a good old case of Catch 22. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. So basically they'll have to choose between Ebola or the Black Plague, and they will usually choose the one that's the least painful. Which I can understand, heh.

what is wrong with you people...the fact that this would be released as a beta, would mean ONLY THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO download and install it would be affected by it....so your statement about "unplayable for many or all" is again fallacious....and if that is the state of this beta patch (being unplayable for most or all) then my concern would be more for the future of the game...

if they release a BETA patch, the only choice is with the end user, as to whether or not they want to download it....

you see beta patches are generally only recommended for power users....you laypeople dont understand nor will you ever understand that these beta patches are not made for you....

Oh no!! i wouldnt want to lose 2 pennies.. so we know you believe in yourself.

[QUOTE=tk471138;410052]LOL :) sure only those who download it will be affected, its a beta, but even if its just a beta there should only be those bugs in the beta the developers didnt see in the beta and not dozens of bugs they are aware of in the beta, which would cause a lot of confusion and maybe frustration among some, many or all those who downloaded the beta even though they knew it was a beta, just because they are not sure if the developers know its just a beta ;)

[QUOTE=Widow17;410100]LOL Widow, you are evil and a very naughty boy. Please go directly to your room and change into your Flame retardant underwear.....

( Fades back into the shadows......)

..with CoD's track record releasing the "patch of all patches" unfinished would probably be it's deathblow..

But that's the thing...... It's not the "patch of all patches". It will be the Beta version of one of a handful of "patches of all patches". lol

People need to accept that there is actually a fairly good chance things are not going to be perfect just yet..... because they are not supposed to be yet. Hence Beta. :D

But yeah.... don't release an unfinished-ish Beta. lol That would be a Gamma patch (Or is that Alpha patch? I can never remember which way round it goes. lol)
