Depends on how the game implements it. Red Orchestra 1 uses VAC and you can play on modded servers- the server allows mods then you dont get a ban for using files that are modified. i imagine it would work the same.

VAC bans are engine- based. IL2 CoD uses its own engine so the devs would figure out how to implement it when using mods, it might be that servers can't run it and they make it so that servers with no mods dont allow people with modified files to join, rather than outright banning them. The system allows for mods if it is implemented correctly.

The game engine was designed to facilitate a number of different ventures and revenue streams, just because the developers mention developing an MMO doesn't mean all the other ventures and income sources have been canceled.

Oh yes it does, if one is a doom'n'gloomer. :D :D :D

What is this talk of a MMO? Can someone link me to this reference. I really don't understand the concept of a MMO & Clod.

MMO stands for MASSIVE multiplayer online, if i'm not mistaken. Where will this massive MP community come from? Confused. :confused:

Depressingly true.

Just what has 1C done to make us feel chipper? The doom and gloom comes from their failure to fix anything in this game. It's utterly pointless to start talking about other revenue streams and expansions when the original game is still unplayable and unfixed. They expect folks to get excited about future releases? I'm sure robtek is looking forward spending another couple years on the forum talking about how they are going to fix things but a lot of us would like them to actually fix it instead of just talking about it.

Again its the game engine thats not working properly. I'm sure the publishers/investors/developers are well aware they will not be able fix COD or sell, Sequels or MMO's until the game engine is fixed. The fact that they are even mentioning developing an MMO is a good thing as it suggests they still believe they can fix the game engine, which is the fix for everything else.

The MMO is just another possible use for the new IL-2 game engine, if they ever get the engine to work properly.

Okay thanks, so it's talk of a new game based of the game engine.

Sounds like good news for clod, anything to help support the development of the sim has to be good.

Commercially it could be a good idea if it works but for the simulation players it could be a very bad one. To make a MMO the game is simplified and made unrealistic to the point it has no interest to the “serious” simulation gamer. Let us wait and see.:!:

B6 can't said to me if the BoM will be an expansion of the CloD or an MMO .... that´s my greatest fear
