Cool, now it's WWII all over again. But this time, Germany didn't start it. There's the UK, USA, Russia, Poland(!), Japan and Italy. Damn Warmongers! Damn you all!

Getting my copies on Monday. Apparently they sent it today.
Looking forward to coop/zombie mode. Also, i've preordered a dedicated/ranked 18 man server. Let's hope it's worth the money and time. If not, well - just another game to my pretty damn big collection now lol!
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
I can't understand why the date is even inverted. The proper way and logic would suggest that the smallest piece of a date structure came first => date/month/year. The current situation only brings confusion and nothing else.

While I agree it makes sense to us, I believe for databases or records or just date stamped stuff, it's often "inverted" to make sorting easier, i.e. a year ago, years ago, 2005, 2006, etc... I guess it depends on who wrote the program/application I guess though.

I couldn't care less how a program works or manages numbers. What matters is the normal every-day perception of things. For example, in most programming languages counting arrays starts at 0. But if you have, let's say, a few boxes in front of you, you don't start counting them up starting at zero - 0,1,2 ... You use the conventional and normal way - 1,2,3. See? It's not logical.
They chose 11/9 because they knew they could display it as 9/11 and attract attention. Marketing. Simple as that. Bad marketing I would say though, because when you type it as 9/11 people think.. 9/11 not 11/9.

Oh I see what you're saying. Let me add to my hypothesis. I think it had something to do with the whole "new century" thing as well. Remember how it was often referred to as "05/10/95" for example? When we hit 2000, things looked like this "05/10/00" and wouldn't sort the same way.
But like I said, it depends on who programmed it as to whether or not it would support 4 digits or just two, for example.
I don't mean to sound like I'm defending the way it looks or anything, just trying to supply a possible perspective. That's all. I could totally be off base here
