Of course it needs to be 'done' before it's released. I'm not saying that they should just puke out unfinished new content. I'm saying that if they could get something out -before- the rush of new games  this season it would be best. If they -can't- get it done, that's one thing, but suggesting holding on to finished content until a specific holiday seems like poor strategy. "When it's done" is always the time to release.

Going to GAMETOAST and asking for advice . Been there done that.  I don't want to see First Strike get obsoleted before it has a chance to grow , so this is why Im pushing for a new content update , knowing how tough it is.  If you would like to sample my work ~go to filefront battlefront files -custom maps -star Wars battlefront 2 - Mos Eisley Dawn 2 , or Acid World of Vjun.

It means we have to sacrifice our personal time to build this game, I cant tell you how many nights I would see all my friends online playing or testing while I was still working on a build. A few of us even put in over 40 hours a week just on the mod in addition to families, work, school etc. I would agree with TY that its best to let us finish it when its ready as we have internal deadlines we try to shoot for, but its not appropriate to share those with the community. If you want more players, we need your help in spreading the word and we need people to exercise some common sense and patience when expressing your expections.

We the Devs appreciate your loyalty to our work and all we can say is thank you for making this important to you as it is to us!

That way when they're cutting down trees in Crysis they will have visions of X-Wings dancing in their heads. First Strike has actually kept me from Point of Existence and the Orange Box lately - and that's even with the WOLF gaming server seemingly stuck on frickin' Endor. The Endor moon map is nice, but GEE-SUS. Space battles are where it's at smile

Target = Deadline.

Deadlines = Bad.

I would think, at least for the US market, that it would be smart to have it ready by then ... at least for the week leading up Thanksgiving as a lot of people (including myself) take that entire week off.

But to make my point , in the USA we have Thanksgiving coming up in November,  should patch 1.02 arrive by that date , you can expect more people with holiday vacation time trying the mod , downloading the mod, and it is a IDEAL time to get this mod the recognition it deserves , as online gamers will be more active those 2 weeks prior and during the holiday . The down side is that by that several high profile PC games will have been released , to name them : Crysis , Call of Duty 4 , Gears of War PC , and Soldier of Fortune 3 PAYBACK. This will be heavy competition indeed and only your patch and the new content has a chance of competing with the slew of excellent games coming out.
