Western Front - lack of info?

As for the closed alpha or beta, whatever you want to call it. They probably only wanted a small amount of people more to play it. They were surprised that they got 5,000 applications. They probably realized that "oh crap this alpha needs to be changed to a better state before we allow the general community to play it."
As for marketing goes... It blows... Compared to Bobby's promotion of coh2 listing facts of battles and hinting information. The current twitter did some cute competition and "What faction are you looking forward to the most." It just seems so half-assed.
A lot of the community is skeptical about the expansion. We all know that it's going to be horribly balanced at day one.

Have said 500 been notified?
Yes they have. There is a german COH2 forum where they are posting screenshots of their steam library (not the game!) to prove that they are in since today

Building up excitement and speculations is also a big part of it all. Seeing people discuss possibilities only enhances the buzz around the whole expansion. Having people hyped about it, no matter how little they know about it is a good thing. #Marketing1on1
I studiet Design and Marketing and have to say you are right.
BUT
It is also true that people won't preorder something that is only a video and some preorder features.
I won't buy a car because the company says it will be fast and red.

Well, I assume we will get some more informations before game release eventually.

I just hope that one year after release we won't go back to step one with balance with new armies.
Relic being absolutely horrible at marketing is another story.

Lol that's overly harsh
Yeah well what can I say ? I lost my trust under the pile of bullshit by most of the companies.
- COH2 selling OP commander and after that nerf them to shit
- BF4 promised to be kick ass and it was problem all over the place
- Dayz Stand alone is a joke. I mean they could have just bring the normal dayz and make it dayz alpha. waste of 30$ even I know it's just alpha. I thought that Alpha could at least be like the normal dayz mode.
- Tons of Early access game and 50% of them are like Dayz standalone with tons of promise.

No I was talking about the "go fuck yourself" at the end, like, really? They just don't give you any info because they want the factions to be a mystery atm.

So let's hope that WFA won't kill the last playerbase that's left.

So I'm not spending my 20€ for something that will turn out as a unbalanced piece of crap, which will most likely not be playable until a year or later.
Its not like it will be balanced for you if you don't get it.
Not saying you should buy it as its a matter of personal preference, but if it will be unbalanced, you'll feel it just like the ones who bought it.

I don't see the point in preordering WFA because there is not really a reward if you do it.
We don't get any TOW scenarios for free and no commanders at all (which is not a bad point, but still).
I won't take the high risk of preordering a game with a mostly unknown gameplay just because of some free skins.

They aren't giving information, because they are still testing things out. Things can still be removed and added to the game and they don't want to make any promises.
Balance is probably not done yes, abilities maybe. But all the models and art is surely done. Remember they did a alpha gameplay vid already. Why cant they do another one?

Sure that's why I'm not going to preorder it.

I think its pretty sensible to avoid preordering as a general rule of thumb, for the above reasons.

Well they can keep it mistery however they want, just don't make it sooo mystery like the game is not even close to finish.
And with newest update, they let us saw the Sherman + Puma so they could at least keep the fire in us by talking about those units or something, not " OMG I'm gonna be a silent man "
