Battlefield Galactic Conquest alpha release cancelled!!!!!!

Bad News - Battlefield Galactic Conquest release of the 14th March cancelled.

Due to some of the team being busy, we have had to cancel the release of our 1st public alpha. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope all those looking forward to the release will understand. The team have been putting in endless hours of work to the mod over the last 3 weeks and unfortunately it has not come about.

However the future is bright, with a bit more time we hope to have a very enjoyable mod out, with alot less bugs and who knows maybe that Walking AT AT

Once again we apologise for the delay but we will keep you updated daily on all your favourite websites.

I see lucas got u in the end with the name change, I wondered what the hell u was going on about until i read "Walking AT AT ".

Damn, i was looking forward to that. Well, any ideas when it will be out then?

A few weeks? Or longer?

Bummer. I was really looking forward to that. I bet it won't be too long of a wait though. I hear CIS is about ready for another release soon also.

Yeah, CIS, forget DC, thats a great mod. The guns in that, even though they have no textures at the mo are great. I love the sounds.

The choppers are fine too, but, for some unknown reason, there is only 1 server running it in the whole world.

Bugger.

Well at least jurassic park will be out soon.

FRICK. Well there goes my Friday night.. O well, just have to fight for my g/f again...

Sorry but you should never set a release date if you can't stick with it. This doesn't demonstrate to me or anyone else that your team is very organized, i'm still looking forward to the mod but i have lost a little faith because of this..

You seem to be under the impression that these are the only people ever to miss a deadline. Anyone remember that game Black and white? That thing wasnt out til like 4 months after original deadline. And then theres the American war against drugs.....

Deetox · 03-13-2003, 07:44 AM

No actually i made those remarks because of HOW MANY times i've seen this sort of thing happen, its wrong for any dev team to hype up a release date when they aren't sure it can be backed up. I think its smarter to keep a tight lip on definitive release dates until you're positive the date will be met, that way you keep a good reputation and the fanbase remains happy.

false hype = false hope

I agree with that, but I'd never complain about it. These sayings come to mind: "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" or "Beggars can't be choosers". These guys are busting their asses to provide something for free, aren't they?

mrsleep · 03-13-2003, 10:00 PM

yeah, deetox just wants to be a pissy little jerk about it.

Considereing this is a buunch of guys doing something in their free time to provide to us, for free, id say we have no room to complain about the delayed release, and anyways, its only an alpha version
so chill out and take some ludes or something
Id rather wait and have a good mod then have them rush a pile of crap just to make some silly date.

It looks great though, keep up the good work guys.

Neon · 03-13-2003, 11:21 PM

I agree with you somewhat, Mr. Sleep but not totally.
But yeah, i was looking forward to this mod. Well mebbe it wont have as many bugs if they wait a little while.

Deetox · 03-14-2003, 01:08 AM

I was not complaining, only expressing my dissapointment. :/

Deserter · 03-14-2003, 01:54 PM

this makes me sad, but oh well, an extra couple of days won't kill me and less bugs is always good, as long as it doesn't turn into another tf2 situation all will be well...
