ACII is not going to support DX9??

Not exactly sure, but with Windows 7 coming out and everything...

Windows 7 coming out doesnt mean ACII will not support anything else but Windows 7... The majority of people still use Windows XP, it's definitely gonna be supported.

I was implying that Windows 7 might be the reason for the delay, since AC1 needed Windows Vista in order to support DX10. DX11 might require W7.

This is some F****** up BS... If they are worried about piracy.. The only solution is: SHUT DOWN THE INTERNET!.. No matter what kind of protection they use, there will always be someone who is going to break it... And about the quality.. wtf.. what about the PS3 and Xbox then.. They will lose alot of customers this way..
Anyway this is just my opinion, and I know I will get alot of angry responses, and this reply will probably be deleted... but this is my opinion

its useless to add DRM to the game. even the game protection used by batman arkham asylum also been cracked.

I don't think it's because of Windows 7, the delay is too big for that.

What confuses me is why play.com is the only shop I have seen so far to have changed the release date to 2010. All others I've looked at have the pc edition still set to release 20th(or 17th) November. This would would really confuse/annoy people who dont know of the change of release date who want to preorder it.

its obvious that the only reason that causes the delay is due to piracy. what i dont really understand is that if they worry so much about the piracy why they still want to release the game on the PC??

windows 7 isn't going to be as big as every1 thinks it will be, it will come out and the same will happen as has happened with every other OS you get the group of people who are very vocal and don't want to upgrade because of imaginary problems (hell when XP launched there was loads of stuff going round totally slating it)

the only difference with windows 7 is you have the very large chunk of people who got vista (it did actually sell well despite what some people would have you believe) who are asking why this wasn't just a service pack as it is only a minor change in the kernel (still using the kernel 6.x made for vista) and it's only had a couple of the more annoying features that it was very easy to disable removed for lazy people.

one of the XP service packs actually made a change this big to XP without marketing it as a new OS, so why this time they trying to con people into shelling out for another OS that is basically what it already on the shelves and on most PC's?
