as a indian programmer would say "the trut iz in dee enzine"
from that stand point Cod/Bom is slowly getting out of the woods while others are entering in it.
The problem is not to just make money out of your games, but actually raise money for the next project.
777 is dangerously stuck in WWI niche, time is ticking
on the other side the modern combat sim niche is now smaller than a dinky car garage
DCS is scrambling to dev a full WWII game out a old modern combat engine
and as soon as Cod/BoM mammoth wakes up, the picture will be bleak
quality content is underway check

Vick vs Dundas is available, a fat 1940 campaign is being translated etc ...
cod is becoming the new platform so the seat is not that uncomfortable...
altogether we have crazy russians working on the engine and some crazy germans on the content, personally i wouldn't bet against those guys.
