Or... Ship what they have ready for 1.5 and deliver 1.6 in November like planned. Why do you want them to skip a month?

Because, as nice as the idea of 'monthly updates' sounds, there needs to be a good deal of content in them. Many of us, especially the vehicle players, have been hit with a 'maybe next month', sometimes a chain of them. I am not asking to push 1.5 back an entire month, but if all they need is a few weeks to iron things out then I'd be glad to wait two weeks as opposed to five. Other people will give the 'Other games and consoles' spheal, but I just want them to be able to add this stuff as soon as possible.

Software scheduling, even with the Agile methods used by CCP, requires planning and allocation of resources. Sony is expecting a release to test and has allocated their own resources. So I ask again, why sit on completed features when the next release will be one month behind it? It's disappointing when a feature you are interested in doesn't make the cut. It happens all the time. Delaying two weeks would just create a train wreck that you don't see.

And DISCLAIMER: I am NOT AN HAV PLAYER. I'm just your average ground-pounder, and I want to see each numbered update mean something rather than just count out the months.

Delaying two weeks would just create a train wreck that you don't see. I understand exactly how much of a hassle it could be to hold off for a few weeks, but I have two major points. The petty point that there just doesn't feel like enough 'update' here for it to be 1.5. More like 1.4.1. The reasoned point that once they finish Vehicles and Guns, they will just have to sit on it for anywhere from three to five weeks because of the monthly release schedule.

That's my point. Most of this stuff would be snuck in if it were TF2, or even EVE. The confirmed contents are mostly things we won't even see or feel at all during average play. Corp Roles are nice for the CEOs, but they're they only ones who will notice. Tutorials are nice, but anyone who actually plays the game won't even know they were added. We need them to help new-new players, but for everyone here now it's too late. Squad Finder and WP changes can go either way though... I REALLY hope they're bloody MIND BLOWING.
