Official Support Group Thread for Il-2:BOP 360 Players
Earlier today, I decided to see what all else I could find on the Il-2 Bop patch, on the web. When doing a search for the 360 patch, all I could find were a few links to this forum and one stray post by a user on Gamefaqs.com. But when you do a search for the ps3 patch, there are atleast two pages full of results on google. It seems that 505 games sent out a press release on November 23 stating that the ps3 patch and only the ps3 patch was in q/a awaiting certifcation. Two and a half weeks later, the patch was released on December 7th, a monday. When I was playing BOP with friends tonight, I figured that since tomorrow will be 4 weeks exactly since the ps3 patch, and that patch was released unknown to the developers, that tomorrow we might get ours!!! A very happy thought!
But if the turn of events that preceed the ps3 patch is a clue to how the 360 patch will be released, then there will be a press release followed by two and a half weeks.... : ( So, possibly, we might be looking at another two and a half weeks plus however much time until 505 games sends out a press release.... very dissapointing indeed... Have we not been patient enough?? This is torture!! The release of this game has been botched so badly! IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE! Still, as it is, it's my favorite game, and to see the ps3 patch released a month ago, as it is today, really hurts to be so neglected. I read earlier today on an article, that the il2 demo was downloaded over 1 million times on both psn and xbox live, but only aprroximately 300,000 copies were sold on both systems!! That is a huge loss to the ones that could have stood to make a profit on the game!!! The bottom line is that people that have played il-2 on pc and continue to, were hugely let down by this game, and have no reason to play a inferior game on a console, what a flop!!! Anyways, I started this thread as a support group for those wanting to vent and let their feelings on the subject be heard, it's not healthy to hold in the pain, like all the admin's and ps3 users want you to, it's okay 360 brethren! I am there for you, even if it's only me, I want you to know that! |

I've given up the on the 360 patch, I really doubt it is coming. Thinking that way I can still play the game and not get all bent out of shape. And if it does come then I can be pleasantly suprised.
Also, from what I have seen of the PS3 patch (very little) it does not truly fix the crashing issue. It only punishes those who intentionally crash with a negative score, however I have never seen anyone intentionally crash, everyone I have played with has been very classy in this regard. It appears to do little to give a kill because you put a plane in the ground from damage. Additionally, I haven't heard great news about the P-51D since the patch. It seems it is better but still not worth bothering with in the eternal turning clusters that usually take place. I have also not seen good things about spawn crashes, which I usually get about 2 per game. So, in summary, my opinion is that the patch isn't coming, if it does it won't completely solve my issues with the game, and I will still play as long as there are players. The only way the patch will really help me is if it brings players back, which I think it will/would. |

Also, you gotta remember that the patch will have black/red outs and custom mapped controls and such.. |

perhaps the lack of popularity/demand is slowing the developers down on making a patch?

The patch is ready, it's just that MS is still in Q/A with it. Well, last time we heard, that was the case. But it's definitely made already.

I'm sure the developers are very busy but it takes very little time to post here or in the yuPlay forum. Even stating that you know nothing but the fact that it has been sent to the Publishers and its now out of your hands, is better than nothing at all. Its the nothing that is causing all this baddness. Please devs, give us some info and halt this badness.
