If you knew what you were talking about, you would know a PC delay was always on the cards.
Sorry, but no.. I don't buy that. No hint was ever given that this would be the case. Had I known in December that pre-ordering the game would take upwards of 6 months to get it.. I know I for one would of held off. You can't blame me for not exactly jumping up and down in happiness.
My previous experience showed that PC and console versions release at the same time, despite what Biggs says (give me some examples, I can give you two that say otherwise). I'm giving Big Ant and Tru Blu the benefit of the doubt that the reason for PC release being up to 2 months after consoles is purely to have the game set up for Steam release and integration with Steam Cloud, etc and
not making PC users forced to buy the game twice to be able to play it on time as everyone else AND then play it on the quality we'd always hope.

ross can u explain what is reengineering the game for PC? and the may release for PC is confirmed or just a tentative one?
As the PC version was originally intended to be sold only on disk and using the BA servers for multiplayer searching and stats tracking, some significant changes have to be made to allow the game to run on the Steam platform with Steam Cloud (hopefully) integration and have the multiplayer run through their service.
That reminds me.. I ALWAYS have issues playing multiplayer on steam.. the only two games I've tried is Rust and PayDay2, both I fail to connect 95% of the time.
I somewhat hope that the 'integration' time takes less than expected and we get the game earlier than they say.. but no.. not holding my breath.
