Very true, im sure a large amount of people who brought COD will be very patient when BOM is released and wait till they see the reviews first before spending any money.

Of course we will read reviews before shelling out, once bitten twice shy springs to mind

So your that sure that the developers wont say "The last patch that fixes everything for COD is released with BOM"?

Il wager they do, name your price.

I have no doubt that you will find new features in BoM that you think should have been included in CoD.

Not quite what i said is it.

So fancy a bet?

Im saying the developers will say "FIXES for COD will come with the release of BOM"

Hence i will not be buying until i see some reviews first.

I know it's not what you said, but it's what you're going to do. They'll release the game and you'll start complaining about the new features that were not included in CoD. That way you can't possibly lose the bet.

I'm concerned that once(if) they get the core "engine" smoothed out, they will then move full bore on getting BOM out the door. Meaning, all the bugs in COD(see bugtracker) will be left unresolved as the push will be BOM. All the warts in COD might be left as they are(radio commands, etc.). I hope this isn't the case, but I think it's a possibility.

It is their forum. I find it hilarious that you keep meantioning all the support we are getting when we haven't seen anything but a beta in about a year.

Quit calling other people's opinions silly because the only thing sillier is the amount of time you spent defending against any criticism that have been long over due for 1C.

I have my opinions because I believe in a fair deal, even when it has to do with flight simming. When I see a game in this condition that was released after taking half as long as Duke Nukem and advertised as "ready" then I believe that I have found an unfair deal. If you like to dilute your brain with open ended "commitments" like have received on these forums then I believe you have chosen to ignore the obvious and swallow the bait, hook, line, and sinker.

So what that I disagree with you? I never cared until you took it on yourself to get all gestapo up in here.

Agreed, hence i will be waiting for reviews first.

That's great! However, the rest of us will probably already have a pretty good idea if it's worth buying.
