Question? Anybody wating for Harpoon 4

Post by theski »

With MOO3 just out, I was just wondering if anybody is like me and still wating for HARPOON 4.

No.....If history is any guide.....like Civ3 and Moo3, it will end up being a disappointment

I'm hanging for it.

Civ III sucked. I think Moo3 will be good.

I stopped waiting for it years ago. How many years is it overdo now? I did not like Civ3 much when it first came out, but I dusted it off and played it most of the month of Jan. It was good but not great.

Harpoon 4 is so delayed because ownership of the company making it keep changing, and every time it's funding got halted for months. It hasn't been because of actually problems with the game. Larry Bond supplied all the performance models and technical data. So we should at least get a similar level of simulation as earlier Harpoons.
