OK, you've hooked me. I've bought the special edition.

I would have thought the very first FAQ would have told me when it's due out?

But oddly that info is missing

I guess within 2 months as you've been sending out emails?

Please tell us?

    I'm pretty sure they've said Fall of 2009, that's all they're giving us.

    Which means the alpha is no more than 1 - 2 months away.

    It would, though, be nice with an email to the once who have bought the Special Edition saying when they expect the alpha.. But let's not rush them too much, I think they have a lot on their minds atm.

    That sounds like an American term.

    What is 'Fall'?

    First time I have ever seen a pre-order before a preliminary release date was set.

    I thought they were fairly upfront about being unsure as to when it would release.

    however a good number of us are speculating that they are aiming for an Oct 31st release as they seem to like that date <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Fall is the American word for Autumn.

    Wouldn't be good releasing later than mid-November, direct competition with L4D 2 .
    (Assuming both would be marketed on steam)

    They haven't hidden the fact that the pre-orders were there to generate much-needed capital at this particular time, and also as a means to establish a decent player base for their alpha and beta releases. In any case, pre-orders happen all the time with speculative release dates, and they <b>have</b> given a firm date of "fall '09". That's more than most companies offer, sometimes they even get the year wrong!
