This means from October 2004 until March 2005.

The fact, that HoI2 is now in beta-stadium means, the greatest parts are programmed. Now only finetuning is to do.

But thats very hard, for a game like HoI. So much Ai-files,skripts, languages etc. I hope this game will be released, if it is playable. I am sure this takes some months. In the best case December 2004. But maybe Febr-March.

The better the betas, the sooner this game will stay in the stores. Have all betas heard this ????

I think we'll know exactly when, soon because about a month ago one of the marketing guys said that the street day would be released soon.

Aren't you being a little presumptuous here? A half year after its release, CK is effectively still in beta-stage. A lot of programming (and I do mean programming, not merely fine tuning) remains to make that a decent game.

Hopefully HoI2 beta will run its proper course and not be rushed to become yet another Paradox great-game-after-half-a-dozen-patches.

CK has a particular history behind it, with the Snowball deal and all that. HoI 2, on the other hand, is in one way or another based on HoI 1. That, at the minimum, allows the programmers to incorporate much of the experience from that game's previous development into the sequel, plus a lot of the feedback from the fans.

Btw, Victoria hasn't had a dozen patches yet and, for those that can get past the micromanagement admittedly, is already a very good game.

Yea, Victorian fans wanted to know why there hadn't been a patch for it in a long time and Johan told them that it was because it was a stable game. I mean, CK just went to 1.04 while Vicky is still at 1.03b.

Based on experiences of earlier Paradox games I'd suppose the time span is large because it'll be released on different markets on different times. CK and Victoria made it to Scandinavia first, after awhile the translated versions were released and US followed later on. It might be different though now with a new US distributor.

Here goes hoping. HoI2 could easily be one of my all time favourites if it comes out as good as I know Paradox is capable of.

Yes so all Betas should go now to their work camp
