Is Major Command coming out of beta soon?

[bitglory]

As the "Omega" tournament would indicate, it seems that coming out of beta will come soon. Any new information?

There are just too many variables to put a date on it. I can tell you we're closer than we have ever been before!

I can assure you there's no group of people itching for 1.0 more than the staff It's been said so many times it's almost cliche, but it's very true that we are waiting until there is a stable, full-featured experience to offer the public.

And by waiting, I don't mean sitting around hoping a finished product will magically fall in our laps, lol.

Bossman Bado, Cass, Inc and Shep, with the help of tons of users are putting the Clan and Tournament systems through their respective paces
Coda is installing a turbocharger and fuzzy dice on the servers
Oz, Mark and Myself have a wall of car batteries charging up and are putting the final touches on a nice little square room with an old chair and a single bare light-bulb
Wids, Rj, Shep and the Screening Room Assistants are working on some awesome map projects behind the scenes, as well as tweaking the mapmaking system itself
The Ambassadors are gearing up to deal with the massive influx of new users
and last, but really most importantly, we have Evan locked in a secret bunker out west hooked up to a Mt. Dew I.V.

Also, tons of active MajCom members are pushing the site closer to 1.0 by playing games, reporting bugs and participating in Clans and Tournaments!

I had to google 'fortnight', 'cause I'm not up on my olde english, but now I'm excited. Within two weeks? Awesome!

[Evan]

you guys cant make threads like this. It gets me all excited and I lose focus.

 

[Cardinalsrule]

now 10 days into Bado's 'fortnight'... any info as to whether or not that estimate is still standing?

 

[Badorties]

hmm.. don't think we will hit that target. too many cool new features to work the bugs out of.

 

[thone]

Bado, you realist

let us dream!
As i said before and asked before (to you and shepard), if there is annything i can do to help you guys getting closer to launch date, just inform me!
I'm just a humble programmer from Belgium, willing to help, test, design, organise, ... wathevers needed .

I just really love this site/project!

grtz

 

[Cardinalsrule]

are you going to put out any new maps when you launch? I know the Nukes map has one big bug to work out (at least), the Middle East Asia map seems to be working ok but hasn't had some of the special features tested, what's up with Africa? Do you think any of these maps will be fully ready by launch day?

Luckily this comment continues to be true, every second, of every minute, of every day, of every week.

Badorties, what will be happening to the Strategist,Grunt, etc. classes as it is released? I have been waiting to get upgraded and am wondering if I will be "out in the cold" so to speak if the upgrade happens before I am upgraded.

 

[Badorties]

you are upgraded, as if by magic!

 

[Cardinalsrule]

dang. when I saw that Bado had posted to this thread, thought some information was released...
