I don't think there is any one easy answer to your question. I suggest you take a close look at some of the excellent "developer's diaries" found in this forum (if you haven't done so already that is). Reading through them got me excited for some time now. But seeing how AOD is created by hardcore fans of HOI and based on a tested, proven engine, I'm actually much more hopeful for this game than I ever was for HOI 3 (which sadly I still cannot get to run on my half-decent rig 
). So if I will be able to run AOD optimally, I definately won't consider it a failure .

How do we know ?? We havent seen it yet.
Lets just hope so. I havent had decent game of HOI since I packed up HOI2 in July. I just cant bring myself to play it again knowing that this might come out any day.
HOI3 imho, is just dire.

For me HoI2 has been the game of the decade. HoI2DD the best thing since Panzer General I.
I am having an absolute ball playing with this new AoD!
Failure? Not hardly.

Previous Paradox experience has shown that a beta-tester experience is significantly different than a paying customer experience. So MR2 I'd keep my opinion to myself if I were you, at least untill the game is released to a broader public.
So if he thinks the game is broken he should only say so after the game has been released? Or is it only positive opinions he should keep to himself?
Seeing how this isn't being developed by Paradox, but by an independent team, I think this game will be good.
Epic fail.
Panzer General II is way better than the first.
And it's being improved as OpenGen (earlier OpenPG2).
Betas are bound by NDA, so technically he shouldn't disclose any type of information about the game, at least not until it has been released.
well he hasnt really has he ! He said he was having a ball - thats the sort of info I want to hear and its good to hear that a beta is enjoying it. At least ( unlike HOI3 ), they have betas
Considering the screenshot-laden AAR he's made in this forum I think it's safe to say that it's too late for secrecy now.
Paradox won't allow release except if the game runs without crash for quite some time. The Q4 2009 release was postponed for the very reason.
