The unfortunate turth

[David Hayward]

There is no need to pledge to boycott BOM. They seem to be completely aware that they have to fix CoD.

We should all commit to boycott BoM until 1C gets CLOD into shape.

You'll never get the rest of the community into it, truth to be told. Hell, if it receives favorable responses from reviews, both here and other places, I'll buy it. But not before I know more about how it is.

S!

CoD will get in shape the day the graphics/FM/DM are made top notch as the same are used in BoM + release SDK and nothing stops the community. My .02€

What is a 'turth'?

a turd with a speech impediment?

If they know we'll all just buy BoM anyways...

In the interests of civility, as a precautionary gesture, I have removed
my posts as well.:cool:

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.

If they know we'll all just buy BoM anyways, then there's no incentive for them to get better. It's the reason EA and Activision get away with making the exact same Call of Duty every 2 years: fanboys buy it, regardless of anything.
I don`t believe in boycott. First reason is - I didn`t see one person post that he will buy BoM since like the last final patch ( I know, Mysticpuma did, I don`t count that). It is not needed, because already there is minimal credibility to it.

With all due respect MP, i think this attitude right here is part of the problem.

Pretty much.

I would go so far as to suggest that buying BoM before (if at all) CloD is fixed could be a useful barometer for insanity.

My view of CloD has been up and down since the beginning.... sometimes I am happy-ish, sometimes in love with it, sometimes can't stand the sight of it....... it's been a roller coaster ride..... like one of those teenage love affairs that end badly and yet.... damn did you have some fun! Would you do it again? Heck no! (Unless you could keep the wild, if somewhat exhausting, moments and edit the rest out.)

BoM? Once bitten..... or as a certain President would try and say: Fool me...erm...twice...erm.....

It's all about hope and faith at the moment. Some have lost their faith entirely. Some never had much faith at all once they paid the cash and got stung. Some, like me, are losing faith rapidly but hoping it will be restored like an atheist desperate for a sign they may be wrong (Apart from the flaming eternal one at the end, hopefully. :grin:).

1C are going to have to pull one heck of a rabbit out of the top hat and, not trying to apply pressure here...... we are talking the king of rabbits before any sane person will slam their money down on the counter.

Here is to hope... however much or little there is.

Now I'm off to play 1946. :D

My problem, though, is that I see comments from the dev team saying things like "There are problems with the flight models above 6000m, and we won't fix this until the sequel".

Look! I found a picture of the original DVD cover for CloD!:

yep.:rolleyes:

[_79_dev]

you guys here must be having very sad life.. You are just addicted... To unconstructive criticism.

[cebit]

Some may think someting might be wrong with me, but when BOM comes i will deffinately get it.

Highly doubth will be released anywhere near the state CLOD got out in.
First of, their sim-countrymen would tear them apart if it did, and secondly i think it might be quite some national pride in making it as good as they can with what have atm.
It was in my very,very honest oppinion quite a incredibly act of determination, bravery and heroism by the whole russian nation pushin the nazis out. SPecialy with how it was going for them from start.... but won't get into history....

Will it be perfekt, and have all that i wish this new series have??? I guess not, but then if i remeber correktly, the original IL-2 was way different to it's sequel both in FM's, and much else.
Remeber how it felt back then, like having to learn and refly my favorite planes going from one to other...

I will too. Being a software developer I can sympathize with the devs, they must be feeling a lot of pain right now and I don't envy them one bit. I have been there. But from what I see they are trying their best to fix this. For non programmers it may be hard to understand how difficult this is.

But this is the "only" game in town for realistic WWII air war simulation so as long as 1C continues to make an honest effort at trying to deliver a good game I will continue to support them and hope they succeed.

This will mean a series of alpha/beta patches until all problems have been fixed but I will do what I can to help them get it fixed.

as a indian programmer would say "the trut iz in dee enzine"
from that stand point Cod/Bom is slowly getting out of the woods while others are entering in it.
The problem is not to just make money out of your games, but actually raise money for the next project.
777 is dangerously stuck in WWI niche, time is ticking
on the other side the modern combat sim niche is now smaller than a dinky car garage
DCS is scrambling to dev a full WWII game out a old modern combat engine
and as soon as Cod/BoM mammoth wakes up, the picture will be bleak
quality content is underway check http://simhq.com/_air14/air_523a.html
Vick vs Dundas is available, a fat 1940 campaign is being translated etc ...
cod is becoming the new platform so the seat is not that uncomfortable...
altogether we have crazy russians working on the engine and some crazy germans on the content, personally i wouldn't bet against those guys.
