Now or later?

14th november is fine with me.

Sounds funny given that the Gothic 3 Alpha was almost unplayable one month before release but the Gold Master played by one magazine is supposed to be almost bugfree.
Now you say "MTW2 is a bit rough around the edges" and think it needs a lot of work to be done. Of course it depends on the programmers and cause of bugs, but I think some bugs or whatever you mean with being rough(I have no idea about bugs in the game from the information I got) may be easier to solve than most people think.
I voted they should take their time anyway since I want a new CPU before getting M2TW so they can just as well optimise until November next year or so.

atm I don't have the money for it anyway so let them take their time. Next to that all they're doing now mainly is bugtesting. I believe that once they've taken out the first bugs, that part (custom battle, maybe small campaign) will come out as Demo, while they continue to bug test.

Oh, don't tell me that (G3) is coming out soon? Well there go my evenings for the forseeable future!

As for M2TW the release date, we are still almost 2 months away from the presummed date so I think they have so time for QA'ing and polishing yet...

I'd like to see the demo very soon and the game when they've fixed the bugs we find.

Take their time, although it shouldn't be as buggy with Rome as this is the 3rd game they've done on this engine. I'm sure there will be bugs (there always are), but I don't think it will be as bad as RTW.

I guess a lot also depends on how long SEGA are willing to give them to polish the game. I've always felt that MTW would have been so much better if they spent another 2 weeks on it.

I really hope they take their time with it before releasing the game. I really do not want to see the same thing I saw with BF2 when that first came out, an unfinished game.
