CMT SPV2 will be released in 2008.

Title says all. I'll leave this thread open for you people to discuss, be mature, or I will extend the overall lockdown.

My emoticons tell how I feel about this from the of reading the title and the end of the page loading.


So, I'm sad about the release date, but I know you guys are doing a great job with this, and I hope the best for it. It's gonna be a lot of fun. And frankly thanks for being one of those mapping teams who stuck with it and got the job done.

I honestly don't care about the release date. Remember a company called Remedy Entertainment, which produced both Max Payne games? Well, for Max Payne 1, they refused to give a release date since announcing the game in 1997, and in 2001, after much anticipation (although marketing was terrible), we received a top-notch shooter. Remedy unfortunately decided to give a deadline for Max Payne 2, and while we also got a great shooter, it was just way too short. As a result, Remedy will not give a release date for Alan Wake or Max Payne 3.

The fact is that when you give a release date, you feel inclined to work towards it, and may well end up rushing jobs just to meet that date, which can be very bad. I mean, if MGS4 had been rushed to meet the PS3's launch, I'm sure it would have been plagued with technical issues.

Plus, these guys have LIVES OUTSIDE OF GAMING - they're not game developers who work 8-12 hours a day for profits. They have school, relationships, etc, and therefore they are not obliged to put that aside just to satisfy the excitement of retarded CMT fanboys.

If there is one downside to a 2008 release date, it's that Halo 1's popularity is inevitably declining and that by then, the loyal community will have shrunken a lot. I'm sure all the console owners who don't play on the PC as much will still be loyal, but in the vast PC world, there are just so many top-notch shooters...

Well at least it isn't a fixed Release date. Remember what happened to SPv1?

[Mr Buckshot]

Well, it wasn't that SPV1 was rushed - it was that CMT didn't test out the results of encrypting their maps before releasing them, thus resulting in many annoying bugs that weren't expected. Of course, beta testers like Bathroom Security got the unencrypted versions, and thus had more bug-free experiences. Still, I guess that if they hadn't set a release date, things might have been better.

[Edward Elrich]

Yes, here's one. CMT is working hard on SPv2, but due to the fact that they want to make it the best they can, they need more time to do it. (if you meant a picture update, it will probably come when the lockdown ends. It would probably be better that way, so we can actually comment on it (or them, if it's more than one) when they're released.

edit: I know, the "update" was just restating the first post.

We can all wait for SpV2's release by playing Halo 3! Yaaay :awesome:

[DrunkenSamus]

I recently got into Doom 3 and its fantastic mods so I think I can wait for this. I wonder if it'll be a late New Year's Eve release.

[Huero]

Fair enough.

Are you serious? Okay fair enough then as long as we get something better than SPV1.
