If you can get it for $9.99 its a keeper.
The game have its issues and if you are used to the finetuned interface of IL-2 1946 (it might look old but it is like an iPhone = intuitive ) I would wait for the next patch or the sequel.
You should also make sure your GPU are up to specs. A tiny GPU like my nVidia GTX260 will strain your relationship with the game.

The learning curve in COD is steep and the additional problems of the bugs might be the famous last drop (reason) which gets it shelved unnessesarily.

I'm running a GTS 250 and still get a lot of enjoyment out of the product.
I think the problem is unrealistic expectations with regards to screen resolution (I run at 1280x76 and detail settings (I use high for objects and effects, medium for landscape and low for the rest). In this way I can still enjoy great looking airplanes, fluid flight models and air combat while waiting for further optimisations and for my budget to catch up with the technology!
