Whatever man, just think maybe you should throw in a "IMO" if you don't really know.

Ok I'll share some insider information with you. If you don't see Luthiers name as the poster its more than likely speculation.

IMHO, I dont think UBI were involved until nearer the end, I remember Oleg making a post saying that he had found a publisher and he would let them announce who they were, if UBI were always involved then the post would have been pointless unless Oleg was playing some kind of mind games.

Actually, much of what Luthier says is speculation. A recent example is his claim that the new engine will deliver not less than 50% performance increase, followed by, we dont know what sort of increase, and lastly - the wheel fell off and we don't know what happened. He is a lovely guy, but does tend to struggle with mission goals and project forecasts.

Nor me, but my brother did, some role playing game back in the windows 98 days which was so bad he uninstalled it and it wiped out a load of critical windows files at the same time and left him with an unworkable machine

Let's do an invasion of Britain. . .

Needless trolling, dev bashing and wild unfounded speculation or accusations will get you a short holiday from the forums.

The rules are being enforced, as a couple of people unfortunately had to be reminded today... the hard way.

Please keep it civil and no, disguised swearing is not acceptable!

If this thread degrades any further it will be locked and that would be a shame.

Quite, and perhaps the responses show exactly why some form of contact is vital to the series as a whole. Without it imagination runs riot. Keep it short, brief and to the point avoiding conjecture and the job is done. Lock it then nobody has to police the update thread.
