If we are genuinely just waiting for a Cinematic that is "The Beam" then yeah, I don't know what they are doing.
Obviously the clock is ticking down until Q4 and getting us into the Alpha phases quicker is a priority in that sense. (Unless Bobby has mercy, but I doubt he wants to let go off a Q4 MW2 + WoW Expansion. Especially with Q1-Q2-Q3 being completely dead for his company)
I hope they take a small concept and don't do Revamp with the little production time they have.
