If sequel is MMO it will probably be free to play = no need to buy.

The problem is the MMO part will be buggy. Potential reason to failure. It would be more clever to release a standard 1941-42 sequel first to get trust back and only then add 1942-46 as MMO imho.

The fact that they haven't done it should tell you all you need to know about why 1C has no competition.

Totally agree - the updates for their next patch have been flowing nicely for the last week or so. They keep sorting out the 'itch' before I need to scratch it. (not sure about that metaphor actually....:confused:)

Read this in an ROF team interview on SimHQ:

Jonas: What attracts you to modeling the English Channel / La Manche?

Albert: First of all, the new model of interaction of the seaplane with water. This is a completely new experience in piloting. In the current simulators, this component [landing on water] is made arbitrarily and in fact we do not yet have the answer to the question of "how it was", so I really want to get it [right]. The map itself will be very different from what we have now — not just a set of trees or other houses, but a completely different theater of war. Of course, this map is [potentially] just perfect for Spitfire vs. Messerschmitt. At least one can dream.

I don't honestly think that it is anything other than 'dreaming out loud' atm, but an interesting comment all the same.


On the COD patch situation generally, I really don't know what to say any more, so have been generally keeping quiet. Patience has been well and truly exhausted though. What a saga...

Hope they can get it sorted, but there is such a bad taste in the mouth now that it will take improvements of huge magnitude to really get me excited and believing in this again.

Smoke an mirrors , If i do buy bom (prob not) to fix this game won't it still be broke , Sounds like double down card game .Invest more money on bad ? :evil:

IMHO the fact that they didn't do tells me only that they didn't choose to do it, I'm still not able to read the mind of the rof developers.

Jason has posted the reason many times. Money.

Please don't ban me! I don't want to miss the whining about next Friday's announcement that the patch isn't ready yet...

I have 831 Steam logged hours of fun in Cliffs of Dover. I guess that's because I fly instead of complaining on the forums.

I can't imagine that will ever happen, it's their next-generation game engine and they would have to be crazy to give it away. (and some code is presumably licensed from other companies, that would cause problems as well [GPL speed trees?]).
