Apparently, you can also run the voice-chat in the background, while playing the game. Just as the chat-option. This is not depending on the game, though games will probably benefit from it more, if they do. (e.g. setting side-channels, etc)

Available: 31 March 2011 is the UK STEAM release date.

Available: April 19th, 2011 is the US STEAM release date.



How can this be? Isn't steam one company? If they have the game then they have the game correct? Im really confused on this one.


Is this just a case of one hand not talking to the other?

I get that some publishers might get the game at different dates, but this is the same publisher why is it different?

It's curently sceduled for 31 march in The Netherlands (and I assume the other BENELUX countries as well). I find it quite strange as well that there is such a big difference between the US and UK release date.

Maybe it's more about paperwork and regulations than mechanical publishing type issues.

Could be a mad dash to have everything translated to English....
