Actually, that is an announcement. The game didn't officially exist until UBI said so. If Ilya had mentioned on facebook that Storm of War will come out on March 25th, that would be a different story.

You're losing the plot. People tried a Beta version of the game in November, and we've seen countless videos and screenshots, so we knew that it was in development and real. If you want to argue that being in development isn't the same, well I've got news for you - it's still in development. You still can't get hold of the final version. Ubi aren't the only publisher, but as far as you're concerned 1C could have released it, and everyone could be playing it, but it wouldn't be official. Ok.

If Luthier had of posted in the IC forums that the system specs would be out shortly, we would have taken it as a promise and would expect the system specs in the next few seconds. And if it didn't all hell would break loose.

He couldn't possibly have said 'we hope to have the system specs out shortly, but no promises'?

It doesn't matter how he phrases his statements, its ALWAYS taken as a promise, here and at UBI forums.

So what makes you think that his facebook comment will be taken any differently?

Probably won't be taken differently but posting there, where there is currently far less traffic does not immediately cause an onslaught of invective of ubizoobie rabies. Must be a bit scary popping your head above the parapet round here...

Hehe, true

Browse through some of the threads and compare the nature of the discussion here to the ones in facebook and you'll notice why they probably aren't too keen to post anything for this group of whine-o-nutjobs!

I couldn't wait anymore so I went for the top and upgraded my hotas while I'm at it. No need to second guess anymore and my rig will be ready, time-tested and configured before CoD comes out. Some of the components take 3-6 weeks to arrive however..

Asus P8P67 Deluxe Intel P67 LGA1155
MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC NVIDIA
Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 GHz LGA1155
OCZ RevoDrive PCI Express SSD 120GB SSD
Corsair 8GB (4x2GB) 1600MHz DDR3 CL9
Antec P193 ATX
Noctua NH-D14
Corsair AX850W
Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog

I wonder how my saitek pedals will fit with the hog..
