You get more sales if you show outstanding material as soon as possible.

For Oleg, you said two years ago in an interveiw that the game was 80% completed, in percentage terms could you tell us where we are today? many thanks.

Ever heard of the 80/20 rule Tree? It's the last 20 percent of every project that takes 80 percent of the time... So - we have some time left waiting I guess But looking at the quality of the latest shots (and stuff like working large formations etc) I hope for a summer 2011 release!

Yes indeed mate, I understand, would be nice to know what percentage of the last 20% is complete though Dont forget to remind zapatista to eat his shorts next time anyone see's him

Thanks for the update. ~S~

As for lack of video, it would be good to see some more. But I am happy enough with the screenshots for now.

They certainly have top notch PCs over there...Otherwise, how would they be able to tweak all the hi res details at maximum playable settings ?

It is obvious to me that they keep the final eye candy video for an official announcement regarding launch date and specs and ...publisher...

Salute !

Merry christmas and a very happy new year to Oleg and team!

I agree that they must have state of the art machines over at head quarters. How else would they gauge the possibilities...what they show us each week, is what the masses can expeck on their weaker PC's, that most of us run

Merry Christmas, Oleg!
