Byron only used one metaphor - the Assyrian came down like a wolf. You stacked two metaphors: the US came down like the Assyrian, who came down like the wolf. It's like saying "this cookie tastes like a carrot that tastes like cardboard."

Nah! I omitted the quotation marks for an analogy which was pretty obvious to the general reader, I think, but which enabled a grammar-Nazi such as yourself to make a cheap point. Nvm.

It's a guess, but i think that Relic probably did a 180 degree turn after the Judge announced the auction.

Prior to the decision to enter Chapter 11 bankruptcy, THQ appeared to be leaning on its studios to rush out their next titles, in order to raise cash, and probably irrespective of quality (though this is my conjecture). So you had vague promises of the Beta for CoH2 sooner rather than later. With the wisdom of hindsight ( such a magnificent thing) you then had a lead designer, indicating that there had been insufficent time to get the game to where it needed to be ideally. The analogy was it needed this much time [********************] but it only had this much time [*********]

After Judge Mary Walrath pronounced on 4 January, that the THQ sale to Clearwater was rushed and did not allow sufficent canvassing to other interested parties, which then led to the decision to order an auction of THQ assets this next week, I think it became a case of "sauve qui peut" in the mind's eye of Relic - and who could fault them?. By which I mean that, rather than rushing things to a Beta, they decided to pause, polish and revise as best they could, given the limited window of opportunity. This would be the best chance to preserve the teams and the studio intact, by showing a Buyer that it is worth keeping their studio and games.

And the very best of luck to them!!

"US coming down from the North too often seems like the Assyrian coming down like a wolf on the fold." M-M-M-MULTI-METAPHOR!

Google George Lord Byron, not George Lord I3azor.

I really hope the campaign goes back to the strengths that made the original campaign great (story telling, simple objectives, interesting WW2 settings/context). The TOV campaign and it's map of weird "abilities" was such a let-down.

"Trunwatting Flies?" I couldn't agree more. I have always thought this was an unfinished symphony....
