    Maybe it might release on Oct. 24th, like they said in their story or whatever. I would have no clue. And I think Sniper VS Sniper and Homerun battle from com2us will keep us busy for quite awhile.

    Its only been two weeks man. That is about normal approval time, if the dev is lucky. There are devs who wait 3-4 weeks for an approval on thier apps. It is not as though Eliminate is another small game with little to look over. It is probably one of the most complex games that has ever been submitted. So, this being said....just be patient.

    Hi guys,

    We are still waiting on our end. I don't really have anything for you.

    Some of the previous posts mentioning not having any info on Awards.

    Here's a screenshot attached.

    There are LOTS of ideas for awards, but unfortunately in our desire to finish the game, we kept the initial batch of awards pretty simple.

    The "buckets" of awards are as followed:

    kills
    winning games
    playing games
    leveling up
    global rankings
    few misc awards

    Sweet! Understandly, it must be hard coming to the forum feeling like you have nothing positive to share, but the update is very much welcome! And thanks for some info on the awards.

    I agree, Thank for the update Allen. I am not as worried about the rewards as I am just getting my hands on this bugger at the moment.

    Yup, I agree, thanks for the update! :)

    Hopefully it won't be too long before Apple approves it.

    I gotta say awards for kills or games are fine, but the ones based on your global ranking are pretty lame.

    Well, it'll be an easy 450 points for the first few people who download :p

    Which is exactly the problem. I'll never get to the top ten rankings, but whoever plays the first game just lucks into all those points.

    Don't get me wrong, its not like I'm really mad or anything. It just seems pretty stupid and uncreative.

    Free game: Lots of people to download it.
    Small community from first launch will quickly expand.

    The people who care: Achievement whores. :p

    Generally speaking, I agree with you. However, I don't mind the idea of giving a temporary points boost to people based on their current position in the leaderboards. Like, as long as someone is top of a certain game, they get +400 to their total score. That idea could actually be pretty interesting, as it would add more fluctuation to the leaderboards.

    But no, this idea of restricting which awards you can gain based on how well other people play seems like a mistake if the service is to be balanced.

    Yeah, should do the job nicely when the game comes out :D

    Make sure you have a canadian account, though. It isn't enough to just have the gift card, you have to be viewing the right store.

    Tick....Tock...Tick...Tock.... It must take Apple a while to click an approval button or they're just too pre-occupied with drooling at Windows 7.
