It gives them 2 more months for Closed beta and 2 weeks for open beta, or some mix of that. Of course that is assuming nothing gets pushed back.

Look for a push-back to a more reasonable and traditional Autumn time frame.

You might actually want to wait. From some of the sentiments in beta, this game is getting worse by each patch. One word that stood out was boring, but I will stop there. By the way, I got those statements from the last showing they had for this game that was at a convention. I played maybe 30 minutes of it and was turned off easily. I was also given 3 CB keys which I immediatly placed on cars in the parking lot. This is not to say you won't enjoy it though. I just thought it would be more skill driven and less quest driven.

Originally posted by JYCowboy hmm, Probably announced to shake up the market. Kinda a push to DC as Marvel is only an idea at this stage. That or it may be a way to move more resources to STO. I'm pretty sure Paramount wants STO to launch in a few months as possible after the movie, certainly this year. It's probably also been figured that STO stands to make them (Cryptic) more money than Champions. That's my guess anyway. "Many nights, my friend... Many nights I've put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve. You're alright..."

Moving in quickly to launch and establish itself before DC online is released no doubt. DC online is a serious threat to Champs online. DC just has better appeal with it's Heroes and villains.

STO is a much more recognised IP than CO so I would imagine it goes without saying that it would have a much larger fan base ready to spend money on the game when it goes live, not to say that ppl will stay with it after the free month but the potential is always there with a new release. However I'm looking forward to CO's release and can't wait to dust off my old spandex outfit and jump straight back into hero mode again, I thoroughly enjoyed CoX and look forward to seeing Cryptics latest endeavours.

Well, my mother's disabled. However, she was a damn fine cook, in her day. So, she still has all that cooking knowledge. And if someone does the lifting, you can get good meals out of her. Though, I don't know exactly how much she's worth, as far as computer parts go. What Happened With SWG Went Down YEARS AGO! Please Try To Stop Whining About It In Every Thread I Read.
