I need tell no one here:  Oh, heavens, YES.

Any idea of actual release date?

That's a pretty impressive list of equipment and formations.  I wonder how much the model work from CMSF contributed to this release.

[Cyrano]

The precise relationship between pre-order and release is the subject of no small amount of tea-leafery in CM circles.  I have no knowledge, but, if the history of it means anything, they'll certainly beat Christmas.

Dorosh has a chart that showed the announcement date and release date for all CMx2 games(if he is watching this then maybe he can post it) . The bottom line the time from announcement to release has been 4 to 6 weeks. Leaning closer to the 6 weeks in most cases. Having played it, I don't see any reason to believe that it will be outside of that range.

No T-80?

But yeah - impressive list. It'll be nice to run a battle against something other than archaic armour and insurgents. Not that they were a breeze...insurgents I mean...but the T-60's or whatever it was they had were pretty poor offerings for Leo2's

And no pre-order for download only? Strange. I thought that was an offer before. I never buy the physical because of shipping and possible customs charges

The only reason to pre-order, if you don't want the disc and case, is to get a few hour jump on downloading when the game is released. So, there really isn't an advantage to pre-ordering if you're buying the download only.

And, no, pre-orders have always been download and disc.

(I just had a ticket asking the same question....was it you?)

Insta-buy!  :D

No - not me.

I thought I had...but what do I know - I can't remember my name sometimes  :D

[Grim.Reaper]

I'll buy, but I have no reason to pre-order since no need for physical media.....wish they would offer more for a pre-order such as a little discount off the download price or maybe early access (not just a couple of hours early).

And there's another "yes, yes I must have this nao!" clawing it's way into my wallet.

I appreciate that they mentioned future modules like CMSF. Hope they keep their promise and not release full titles instead.

Seeing the responses by Chris - the community manager guy who does the twitch livestreams on Saturdays afternoons PDT - they're as usual not committing to either timelines or specific stuff. I am quite positive about them actively developing the major next 'full title' for the Western Front covering Bulge. But I wouldn't be surprised that Bulge takes the back seat while they release modules for Red Thunder and possibly Black Sea (especially if the later sales do very well).

Anyways, as usual with questions regarding Battlefront.com actual schedule, the answer is "who knows" :)

... ill wonder if Russian soldiers now 70 years later in CM:BS found a way to enter all single story buildings since CM:RT 3.0 ;)

patch pending .... 7 month after release :'(

[JudgeDredd]

That's the second time I've seem RT mentioned with an issue to entering buildings.

Is there a problem with building entry in CM:RT? I haven't noticed anything
