Shacknews reported: "Although the official website and PR's we've gotten have been shooting for January 14th, a number of reports have come in that SimCity4 is indeed available on a few different shelves around the US right now. To be specific, we've gotten 3 different EB reports in central and west coast, and a couple guys on the east coast saying the pre-orders have come in for the special edition."

Der Grossvater unter den Aufbauspielen wurde nicht nur im Web geleaked, sondern Shacknews behauptet auch noch, dass das Spiel in einigen Laeden bereits erhaeltlich sei.
Es sollte in den USA am 14. Februar in den Handel kommen, scheinbar wurde es frueher verschickt und nun schon zum Kauf angeboten. Daher gibt es auch neue Bilder!
Hier haben wir die Screenshots.
Ich kann es kaum abwarten, das Spiel meiner Traeume endlich zu testen.

Gamespy has posted a fresh preview of what's to come from Gray Matter Studios and Activision this year. Enemy Territory is a SP/MP expansion pack for last years 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein'. Here's a byte: At last year's E3, it was "just" an expansion pack with a small single-player campaign, new multiplayer maps, and bot support. By QuakeCon 2002, it had evolved into a standalone pack, the main addition being linked multiplayer campaigns, with weapons and stats carrying over from one map to the next. We recently had a chance to spend considerable hands-on time with the latest version of Enemy Territory. Sure enough, the game has expanded once again, with more than enough content to justify calling it a fully-blown game in its own right. It was also our first chance to see the new single-player campaign for ourselves, which looks like it will be breaking some new ground of its own. Source: Gamespy preview
