The whole sim is lacking any coherent structure with so many quirky innuendos and strange mis matches in consistency and major bugs its a miracle they have got away with releasing it in the state it is to be honest.. I remember Il-2 and it was never as bad as COD on release!

If the plan was to drop support for COD, there would have been a world wide same day release, where they took the money and run. They certainly wouldn't have done an Eastern release with all the bad publicity that caused, then worked 24/7 for months for the western release. The plan is still to support and add on to the series for years. The early release just enfused the project with much need cash to continue work. The devs and publishers have certainly taken a serious publicity hit, but I suspect most in the community understand the process and have enough foresight to see the product improved for many years.
