The Official "Thanks Anton and Team" Thread

[GabeFan]

Yesterday I put the IL-2 BoP disc into my PS3 and started up a training mission. I thought to myself... Holy Crap!! I can't believe I'm flying in cockpit view in my LA-5 shooting down Bf-110s over Stalingrad on my console!!! AMAZING!!

Thank you Anton and the whole team that brought this great WW2 flight game to the console people!! Let's all give thanks...

Here's hoping for some cool DLC and another WW2 sequel to come...

What he said ;)

I have flown IL-2 for years on my PC. Never thought for one minute that this would ever come to a next-gen HD console and be this good.

All those who have had the experience of IL-2 on their PC will know it was never plain sailing. Getting your system just right, tweaking, upgrading, this driver, that driver, more tweaking, trying to eliminate the dreaded micro-stutter. Is it Water 2 or Water 3? Why is Perfect greyed out? etc, etc.

Birds of Prey out of the box is just a joy. Beautiful graphics, fantastic sound, stirring music, Joss Ackland and just-one-more-go addictiveness.

Guys it's pretty much spot on. The patch will make it even better.
I extend my thanks ;)

Cheers everyone. :)

I thank everyone who has contributed to creating this great game as well as keeping everyone updated here on the forums.

Aye, it's a great game. I've been playing flying games since my ZX Spectrum days in the early 1980's

I really enjoy playing IL2-BOP. It is the BEST flying game to have come out on ANY system for years and EVAR!!!! on a console. To play a game like this on a 46inch HDTV is my ultimate gaming experience. Well done, you guys did a great job, I hope it sells very well, and I look forward to your next game

Honestly, thank you guys. As a former pilot that never had a computer that would really let me compete, a console game like this is a great gift. Good job. Keep up the good work.

Many, many thanks to Anton and the entire team who made IL-2 on the consoles a GREAT game. It will be my favorate game for a LONG time !!

While I'm not going to be able to pick the game up until tomorrow on my way home because of delays where I'm from, I must have played through the demo 10 times already. Here's my pre-thanks to Anton and the crew for developing such an great game, and getting me into flight sims. I can't believe what I've been missing.

I also would like to say thank you in the most sincere way possible. I truly appreciate you Anton, your team, and all people involved in this game. Keeping and reliving this part our history is a great achievement. I'm sure I speak for many in saying that everything about WW2 is a major focus of interest in my life and I am so glad to be able to play this game with this gaming community where I find people who are so much like me. It is so important to keep all of this alive, and to be able to birdge this gap between past generations who fought in this war. truly amazing. Thank you all for making it possibly to participate (in HD!!!) in greatest air war.
You have continued to help me live a dream.

[merro]

Thx a million to the whole Dev Team. I am also very history interested and always loved WW2 Flight Sims. I never dreamed i would one day be able to play a game like this on a console!
Many game publishers water their games down to the casual/arcade crowd, to make profit, but you guys managed to get both kind of gamers in one boat and satisfy each!
That is really something few other game developers pulled off lately.
Esp. a Flight SIM on the Console.
I hope the game sells so we will see a sequel in the future.
I also will be playing this a long long time.
MP Dogfights on Sim Mode are such a rush, no other MP Game on the PS3 managed to pull me into the gaming experience that much like IL2.
Another Big Plus is the rather mature community here and online!
(Hope it stays that way!)

[cydno]

Yes that's right!

Thx a million to the Dev team for such a great work! I hope you sell a lot of copies of BoP ;)

Special thanks to Anton, for reading and Answering all our request and questions. That is much appreciated and this add a great interest in this forum. Actually this forum is not only the meeting point of IL2 fans but also a reliable place where you get fresh and accurate informations.

Never seen that on other game forums :grin:

F_ _ _ _ _ G GREAT JOB!

[Houndstone Hawk]

It's hard for an avid IL-2 fan not to criticise this game as there is so much content, that goes hand in hand with IL-2 that is missing whilst it shares such an illustrious name from a formidable stable of incredible combat sims but things are getting done here, the devs are listening & the forum members are faithful & extremely enthusiastic about the product; not to mention, said ppl are bloody brilliant in the MP matches. CONGRATS ALL ROUND & keep up the good service!

[beaker126]

Thank you Anton and your fellow Developers, for finally bringing a flight sim with this level of polish and quality to the console gamer. I hope our interest justifies many more. On a more specific note, thank you for including one of my favorite planes of all time, the I-16. It was the first model airplane I'd ever built by myself and I've had a soft spot in my heart for it and the extremely brave pilots who flew it since.

[GabeFan]

Just got done flying a Bf-110 over Stalingrad. I was enjoying myself, just flying around looking at the city. How cool! BEST GAME EVER!

Thanks again Anton....

there were 2 lakes, a long one and a round one...ever climb to ceiling height then plummet into the lake to check max speed...

I spent hours with a quickshot joystick flying this thing...loved those rubber bouncy keys and typing in games out of a book...thanks Yossarian!!!





oh yeah....nice one devs:grin:
