Hedgehog Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 An additional office is located in Hannover, Germany.In Nils' Living room. :biggrin:Yay! 10 years of top notch software development.Stick that in your pipe and smoke it EA.(I think I personally have been on the forums 6 years and had SB ver 2.0 (Pedantically 2.483 now) for 2 years.)Anyway yeah, SB Pro PE beats the living crap out of AF3 and M1TP2, anyday. And gameplay/tactics wise, even the Arma series, but I couldn't say, as my only experience is through JCOVE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Besides, you need allow time for the prerequisite "we want a crewable T-72" threads to turn up beforehand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furia Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Besides, you need allow time for the prerequisite "we want a crewable T-72" threads to turn up beforehand. Not to mention the "we need an M1A2 or a Challenger" ones as well :debile2: I wonder what would come on this package. Maybe we could have a Centauro? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hopefully not a silly question; is the the next update free, or $25 (or whatever price)? And is it likely that you will offer a special 'earlybird' deal with the next update? ....or is it too soon to say?!Happy Anniversary, keep up the good work! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted April 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2010 is the the next update free, or $25 (or whatever price)? Yes, we will charge for it, but the price has not been determined yet. I don't expect a dramatic deviation from last time though. And is it likely that you will offer a special 'earlybird' deal with the next update? Yes, that is quite likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayTac Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Well I guess it is a good favor but we're basically giving our savings right back then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
