Yeah, I really think so, since Elvin said the game is in a pretty good state even now.

Well, the delay is a good thing then, as there are a lot of games coming out end Feb (Crysis 3 & revamp Tomb Raider) so gonnna sink my teeth into those!

Besides, a better way to pass the time is not play Enroth map, but get stuck into Elvin's Duel map!

Just wish that Ubi set a release date that is realistic and not mess us around so much. It only spells bad planning, like studying for a test and you know you've left it too late....

The problem is that they most likely won't add anything that will even remotely explain the delay. They delayed H6 release by several monthes only to release it in the same state it was in the beta (same bugs, same crashes, etc...)

Do you think they will give us the map in the form of a direct download? Or will they just give us a universal key to unlock it, since you know, its already in the games data files? Or is it not?

Steam is still showing 28th of February! Few people on ubi forums reckon that the delay is just a PR action and the release date will be reverted back..

If it is a PR thing, it is a seriously bad one. My understanding is this :

- if they announced release day Q1 2013 for the preorder
- later they say it would be a month late (so in May), people get pissed but not so much, it's just 1 extra month on top of the 2-3 they were told.
- suddenly they announce game will be released on Feb 28, like one week before that
- win, because joy would be >> rage

As it is now, even if they release the game on Feb 28, people will be still seriously pissed because the nearly got scammed. Basic logic...

So doesnt Ubi


But seriously, I doubt this to be a case although its a bit unusual for Steam to keep the old date for so long..

It's also a bit unusual for Ubisoft to release a game on time.

Why Ubi would make an announcement of a delay of game release when they aren't delaying it? It simply makes no sense.

If it still were just a rumor, maybe...
