Status: offline 		Despite our best efforts we not be able to get the game out until next week. We know a lot of you were hoping to play this weekend, but we just are not quite there yet. We hope to announce the release date sometime during the weekend, but it takes 2 or 3 dayes to produce and test the setup file even after everything is done. So my best guess is the middle of next week.

Status: offline 		No problem Paul, better you guys take your time and get it right than to rush it out and then have an ugly crowd asking for patch after patch! A certain Star Trek game was done that way much to my disgust. I do have one question for you though, would it be possible to make the manual available to us so we can get all that dull boring needless reading(manuals? We dont need no stinking manuals!) out of the way so when "xmas day" arrives we can get right to the playing? ------------------ McGib Ready Aye Ready

Status: offline 		Paul And all of Matrix, While I too am dissapointed, I know this delay is only because you want to assure us an excellent, and stable game. Thanks again for your efforts and for keeping us informed of the status of things! WW2'er

Status: offline 		Having access to the new 3.0 manual ahead of time would really be great. It would even give us a chance to review any "typos" before release, unless you decline the info right now, due to "time constraints" right now. Please consider this, if possible. It sure would get us up and running faster, and maybe give you better immediate initial feedback, after release. You know human nature.....play the game, run your yap, then read the manual later.........

Status: offline 		This isn't all that late. A lot of games come out way later, and are still quite buggy. Its cool to see matrix making every effort to 'do it right'. This is also good in another way, in that matrix as a team is learning all the ins and outs of their process, so in the future they'll be better equiped to inform us about release dates and so on. For a first project it looks like its running remarkably well. I've been in cauldron's of (seemingly) eternal pain on some projects... Tomo

Status: offline 		I have just started a long campaign in v2.3 and you guys already have v3.0 coming out? Wow, you're on top of it! I wasn't expecting it for a month or two. Will I be able to continue my long campaign, or should I wait to do a long campaign for v3.0 and start over?

Hi Rhone! You wont be able to continue your old campaign, to many changes in the games. Tankhead ------------------ Rick Cloutier [email]rcclout@telusplanet.net[/email] Coordinator: Tankhead's SPWAW Resources http://sites.netscape.net/rcclout

Status: offline 		Well, guys, don't take me wrong, but after I heard about 3.0 I just stopped playing 2.3. (Gasp!) I'm looking forward to an enhanced game experience (kind of like your wife after a new boob job), so I'm gonna wait till it's here before I dive back in. This is Matrix' pride and joy, and I know I'll fall in love all over again. Glenn. ------------------ "Klotzen, nicht Kleckern (roughly translated, 'Boot em, don't spatter em')"--Heinz Guderian
