Yep the delay is announced, 1 month till Nov. No word on the open beta yet so it may go off as planned but nothing solid yet.

Surprisingly I am fully in support of this. Hardline was delayed to address issues and IMHO, while it didn't really classify as a BF title to most, it was a pretty solid game on release. Its main issue was how badly it suffered from cheaters. It also had one of the more engaging campaigns of the BF franchise. It was like playing a game based on Miami Vice and was really entertaining. Heres hoping they can capture that same level of goodness on release of 2042.

@NetRngr Yes, it's unfortunate, but better to make the game nice so as to prevent all the hate they would get with an unpolished game.

Yerp. I'm guessing a good many bugs were found in the closed beta, which to be honest there should be cause thats what betas are for. What I find astounding is that the companies have betas and find bugs but the publishers push them to release it anyway even if parts of the game are totally broken with the "Just patch it" mentality. You and i are old enough to remember the days when you wouldn't even see a beta test until the product is where they are at release these days. IMHO it made for much better games and was the main reason PCs were the preferred platform. The devs had the power to push it when it was ready not when the shareholders said to.

Capitalism rears its ugly head in everything now days. I vote for building a time machine and going back to the good old days. God knows I could stand to get back 30-35 years physically hahaha.
