[url=http://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/crimson-steam-pirates/id438053238?mt=8]Crimson: Steam Pirates[/url] is available at midnight in your time zone on 9/1. For now, it's iPad only.
You can grab the first eight voyages and two multiplayer pass and play scenarios for free (which is a fine price). If you like what you see, you can pick up eight more voyages for $1.99 (which is also a fine price).
The game was developed by a small team in Redmond, WA. You can check out their website, and a whole mess of Crimson back story at the link below.
[url=http://harebrained-schemes.com/crimson/world/]The World of Crimson[/url]
The team is led by Jordan Weisman, who you might know through his other games, Crimson: Skies, MechWarrior, and Shadowrun, or through his work in the "Why So Serious?" Batman campaign, NIN's Year Zero, or I Love Bees for Halo 2.
If you have any questions, we have an official [url=http://www.bungie.net/projects/aerospace/crimson/content.aspx?link=crimson_faq]FAQ[/url] up and running. We'll also drop back in when we can to answer any questions we haven't already covered.
Have fun! It's been really great to work with Harebrained and we hope you enjoy their game!

In the FAQ, it mentions Facebook login. Is the only type of account you can create through Facebook? Also, will it send notifications automatically on my wall? Anyway, the game looks interesting, will probably get it on my iPad although it would be nice if it was for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

The [url=http://www.bungie.net/projects/aerospace/crimson/faq.aspx]"Crimson: Steam Pirates Support" link[/url] in iTunes (and the [url=http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/crimson-steam-pirates/id438053238?mt=8]iTunes web store[/url]) both lead to a non-existent page on bungie.net.

Nyuh-uh!

Will there be rum drinking involved in the pirates' itinerary?

Actually, never mind. It was a stupid question that I solved with common sense. [Edited on 08.31.2011 12:24 PM PDT]

Additional clarification: all Facebook is used for is to identify you so we can find your stats for when you look them up on bungie.net. There is no integration with your Windows Live ID account or posting to your Facebook profile.

You stated that it is only on the ipad, For Now. Can we expect to see it on other platforms?
-
What was the "I love Bees for Halo 2"? Did Jordan Weisman help with Halo 2?
-
Any ETA for Android tablets?
-
Here's also a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtrZX3e4AL8&feature=youtu.be]short first look[/url] into the story and gameplay, featuring Mr. Weisman.
-
Also, will the webteam be accepting Crimson themed avatars here? If so, when?
-
When will we recieve a pirate translation feature for Bungie.net?
-
Erm, wouldn't that ad campaign be for The Dark Knight and not Batman Begins?
-
Will this game be completely free or will there be premium features that require payment?(As in, bonus weapons or maps) EDIT: Nevermind , I read the FAQ. [Edited on 08.31.2011 2:10 PM PDT]

It was an [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Love_Bees]alternate reality game[/url] to promote Halo 2. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mr AwesomePizza What was the "I love Bees for Halo 2"? Did Jordan Weisman help with Halo 2?[/quote]

So, from what I understand, this is the first game to be released with the aid of Bungie Aerospace? Now, is this to say that [i]all[/i] games published with the help of Aerospace are going to have their own forum?
-
So about android....it will be available for every android device or will it need a minimum res?
-
What will likely happen is they will put the Crimson forums and any other Aerospace forums into an "Aerospace Forums" board. But I can't say for sure.

Is there any way to get stats if you don't use facebook.
-
There currently isn't, but why not sign up? It's free and super easy, and you'll barely need to use it for stats. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bronx Bomber Is there any way to get stats if you don't use facebook.[/quote]
