Maddmatt 1 Posted November 26, 2005 I saw this in a local magazine called NAG, the magazine doesn't mention ArmA elsewhere and never has before so I got a shock when I saw this. They have a page where they list the US release dates for games and Armed Assault was in the list for the 30th December! I have no idea where they got this date from and I'm posting it here for you guys to see. I scanned the page, here is a link: NAG Dec 2005 US release dates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klavan 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Well, if think their amount of knowledge about a release date is the same as ours. Since ArmA release is still officially scheduled for Q4 05 they simply put it' s name in that page. Nothing more. Klavan PS Naturally I hope to be wrong. PS2 After looking at the other threads i think this will be closed within instants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddyBoy 0 Posted November 26, 2005 I'm guessing that most mags etc. use educated guesses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted November 26, 2005 I'm guessing that most mags etc. use educated guesses Yea, maybe. I buy this mag every month and I have never see them mention Armed Assault before, so it just seems a little strange. Maybe someone just saw Q4 2005 and put it there on the last day of 2005 Well not much left of 2005 so I just hope to see this game soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dowie100 0 Posted November 26, 2005 lol 30th December what a joke, I have sadly given up on this game now, I am going to buy Fahrenheit and Darwinia instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colossus 2 Posted November 26, 2005 Oh dear, that wouldn't be good. That's too early if that's true. With the amount of PR it has been given it should at least be halted until Q1 2006. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stakex 0 Posted November 26, 2005 It well could be possible this is the first leak of the target release date. Becuase if it was simply an educated guess then why wouldn't they just put it on the 31st as the last day of 2005? Just becuase the devs haven't said anything, dosn't mean its not coming out when they had intended. Of course tho, its hard to take this as the set release date as no where else has it listed. All we can really do is hope that it has some lagitimacy, and that the devs sstart talking soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Espectro (DayZ) 0 Posted November 26, 2005 many sites have had it either the 1st december or the 30th december. Its the standard date when a release perioed like Q4 is announced. Either the first day in the last month, or the 30th in the last month (Simply because not all months have 31 days). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metal Heart 0 Posted November 26, 2005 31st is saturday, maybe they figured that friday would be more likely. Anyway, they're just guessing so who cares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBR_ONIX 0 Posted November 26, 2005 I hope it isn't 30th December.. It'll get totaly ignored, either a bit before C'mas, or mid January.. Just after christmas noone will be buying new games, and by then the game would move away from any "New Releases" bits where people might stand a chance of noticing it... - Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think off all the people returning games they don't want and getting new ones, as well as the thousands of kids who got money for christmas who are out there looking to blow it. Not to mention thoes out looking for sales in the week after christmas. Deffinatly a busy week for the stores... obviouslly not as busy as before christmas, but not bad none the less.

That would still give them a month to release info, demo, screenshots, etc... plenty of time. Its not like there is NO info about it. We already have quite a bit of info, and a decent amount of screenshots. Plus there is nothing saying they are going to release a demo... so really theres not a whole lot we're waiting for. Were waiting for a release date, some screenshots, and some final info. All stuff that could be released in a very short time period. So really its all up in the air. Could be 05, could be 06, could be never. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
