CS Status: Alive or Dead?

[Kool Kat]

Given that software is dynamic, always a work-in-progress and never quite bug-free, releases are inherently a damned-if-we-do/damned-if-we-don't proposition. Between the technical stuff and the politics, I honestly don't know which is more challenging.

Anyway, to answer the question: CS, Alive or Dead? It's more alive, and healthier, than ever.

Hey Berto:

I think part of the Modern Wars "politics" issue has been the tentative release dates that periodically get posted in the Matrix Forums.

One of Jason's late Nov. 2012 posts highlighted a possible June 2013 release of Modern Wars. These speculative phantom dates falsely raise players' hopes... only for them to be dashed as these dates expire with no game release.

My interest in Modern Wars is two-fold.

(1.) I find the time frame intriguing - especially the Middle East battles... and frankly, given the long development cycle for this game... my expectation is very high for an excellent game.

(2.) I've been told that the CS 1.05 patch is prioritized below development and release of Modern Wars... so am really anxious for that game system to be released to free up additional resource for patch development.

Again, I do thank you for all your continuing development work... and it is what it is in terms of where you, Jason, Mike, and the other members of the Matrix Team are in your development cycles... but a 2013 Christmas present is always welcome!
