Is CoD worth getting?
Hi everyone. I waited for years for this release just like everyone else, but I was fortunate enough to have up to this point as an observer, as my PC was just too old and I had other priorities. Now that my PC has finally given up, and i'm forced to build a new system, after looking at these boards for the last year and watching from afar, i'm really wondering if you all think it's worth getting this sim? There's so many negatives, and from what I can see, the only positive is that it looks fantastic in most aspects. But i don't want screenshot software.
What's the verdict? How are campaign and online experiences?

Why even discuss this when it can be had for such a small amount of money? you're only going to get a mass of conflicting opinions, either wait for one of the many sales in which it is highly likely to appear in or buy the collectors edition for under £20 from Ubishop: http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/en...s_Edition.html

For the initial price of €30 I would say no. For the price of €10 however, it gives the user more than any other game like-priced currently.
The game plays fine most of the time. Its main flaw however is that the online play is next to none existant. There is no coop-mode yet. You can only fly so long offline until you get bored and shelve the game. It feels like the FSX. You got all those pretty planes ready to fight, but you can`t really use them for anything else than sightseeing flying.

I hadn't considered the price drop. I suppose if i'm spending a few hundred on a machine another £20 wont hurt, especially with the potential improvements in the works.
I do indeed enjoy bomber flights. Is there a bomber server? Do AI bombers fly in formation with you yet, or simply follow their course? Very strange hearing there are no co-op servers!

- AI bombers follow their scripted course, they ignore other planes - again, look for the dedicated bomber thread in some of the sections above Cheers, Ins

CLOD can be equally fantastic and awful with in a very short time, small engagements over the coast can be very exciting and visually stunning, almost photo realistic at times, but then whole thing can be let down by awful AI, FPS slowdown and CTDs.
Online is very limited at this time with only a few servers and limited gameplay. COOPs are badly needed to get more action and sqds involved. Were waiting for a patch that will hopefully improve the more important aspects of CLOD, FPS, FM, AI and the rest. Like some have said if your interested in flight sims and have a beefy system then for 10 quid you cant go wrong.
