Has the 360 community made any sort of bounce back recently?
 

I heard the PS3 one did because of the patch, but I've been seeing some new faces around here and I was wondering if we also have more people playing on the 360.

I've been bouncing between mw2, Forza 3, and Assassins Creed 2 (all stellar games btw) but last time I checked none of them feature P51 Mustangs.:P

So I was thinking about going back to playing IL2 regularly, but what happened last time was every time I waited for 10 minutes and couldn't find an online game I would go play something else for a bit. Then eventually I just dropped the ten minutes of waiting and went straight to the other games.

Basically, To those that are still playing regularly now, is there a better shot of getting a game now?

P.S. I've noticed a much more positive attitude around the forum since when I left (it was basically a riot in here before with all the patch delays). Just wanted to comment on that and say that I'm liking it.;)

Well, I am myself waiting on the patch. I've sunk time lately on Dragon Age Origins and some other games.

There are Xbox regulars on Sim most night and a few new gamertags joining the sessions recently but the 'bounceback' is mainly on the PS3. Worth searching Ranked matches too if looking for BOP MP. I still see friends signed on playing Arcade/Realistic but I can't say how many there are in these sessions. Unfortunately, some of the busiest games are quite late (when our stateside cousins sign on). Still a few European SIM regulars on early evening.

I too am still waiting for the patch.

I popped it in last week, but like you said, no realistic games were going so I went back to MW2.

I'll get back in as soon as that elusive patch appears.

Also, does the game have clan support? I've forgotten whether or not it has this; some good clan rivalries could spice things up!

@ PS3 guys: does the Mustang fly any better after the patch?

Well, I just recently started playing again, mostly to brush up for when/if the patch comes. To me, it seems there are fewer players than a month ago when I put BOP on the shelf, but I also play too late for most people.

I will be on a lot when the patch comes, mostly in hope that others show up.

There is a very noticable improvement with it yes, im still trying to master her though, just needs a bit of tweeking on the sensitivity and she flys pretty well (Not the best) but a hell of a lot better :grin:

I've bounced back to playing a bit recently. Kind of a half-achievement, half-WWII kick.

Anyway, Stateside, I've only been able to find games reliably in the PM hours - mostly 6 or later. And by games, I mean I doubt I've seen more than three rooms at once - realistic mostly, but I know the sim guys are still out there, too.

we had a good amount of people last night playing around 2300gmt. I will be on tonight aswell. Hopefully my latency will be better though.

I logged in last night for a quick fight just to see how things were going. Been a while since I last played and flew like a brick but had a blast. Patch or no patch I'll be back on in the evenings for atleast a game or two. I forgot how much I liked it.

On that note....good match last night TCR, Pudgy and Turbo (may have been more). I forgot how fun it is to take you guys on!
