You mean just SP? ;) From what I've heard there's quite a few problems with the MP.

I'm not a COD fanboy, didn't even own cod 4. However, MW 2 is a blast ( I enjoy the occasional brainless shooter) and more importantly MW 2 doesn't have anything to do w/ BOP and it's current state either good or bad.

The community that actually cares about BOP (myself included) will not leave for ANY other game. I know we are just B.S'ing while we are waiting for an update, but lets try to not turn this into a pissing match about which game is better or buggier.

I myself was wondering if anyone else finds BOP SP challenging enough. I only play SP on the most difficult serttings in Sim mode and just dont find it a chellenge unless there is a time limit and I just cant find the target(s). I'm not a great pilot or anything, but it just seems as though the AI cant hit the broad side of a barn. This is the biggest reason I want the patch, not just for the MP fixes.

I do believe people that truly love flying and WW2 will always have this game it being one of the best flight sims for this generation. This game is a blast to play and yes there are some issues but imho it doesn't mean the game is broken.

Yes I did mean SP I never play MP until a finish the SP. Except for BOP.:-P

Has anyone actually heard when the patch is supposed to come out?

in a word...no...

soon...

maybe


it is the $3.75 question on this forum...

It is way too early to talk about a sequel. There are multiple problems with THIS game. Why would anyone want a sequel before this one is fixed? If you can fix this game, people will buy the sequel; if you do not fix it, there is little reason to believe the sequel will be better. I like the game and flying games in general, but the problems with it leave me frustrated playing it rather than having fun; if you read the posts about people waiting for the patch to play, it is obvious a lot of people are frustrated. I find it hard to believe a sequel will be better, if you cannot write a patch that fixes the flaws in this one (P51D5 turns and banks left when given full right rudder and ailerons). If other games can be patched even before they are released, why no patch 2 months after release? People will compare fairly or not, most have the idea if something is wrong fix it and do it now rather than later. Promises of a patch to come do nothing to relieve the frustrations of problems now. Issue a patch, and if that doesn't fix everything, issue another but don't keep promising sequel will be better. I want to play this game and if I am happy with it, I will be one of the first in line to order the next one.

Actually, it's not that rare that sequels are better than their predecessor. Issues of the first game are fixed in the second. It's happened before, it can happen again. Just hope this will be one of those times..

Yeah, but if you installed patch 1.01 you probably didn't notice many trophies popping up...? And if you installed 1.02, you'll not be able to get online (so I hear - I'm not installing any of the patches until forums indicate they don't break something).

And just to reinforce my point that everything needs testing whether it was related to the fix or not:

MW2 v1.01 was to add the option to skip the Airport Massacre, and broke trophy support...

MW2 v1.02 was to fix the trophy support, and broke online connectivity...

MW2 v1.03 will be to fix connectivity. Wonder what it will break...?

I like the single player in this game, but the multiplayer is the worst. I think since I got this game at launch, I probably have had the chance to play it in MP 10 times. Since then I get the usual BOP error finding the servers.

It seems as if they only have one server, and it is probably an old Pentium II. I bet their server is in Chernobyl. I had a friend ask if he should buy it and I told him no. I explained to him that the MP is broken and that I have not felt like even finishing the SP, because there was no reason to. Maybe this patch will make the game enjoyable one day. Until then, I will stick to MW2 and GOW2(which also had a problem initially with MP). Maybe I will buy a better gfx card for my core I7 pc and play some flight sims instead, possibly Storm of War: Battle of Britain.

On sequels, I will wait months after it comes out if I even decide to chance buying from these guys again.
