Tossing ubi would not be a big deal imho..

Actully I think it would be a smart move!

Don't know much about BUKA but they can NOT be any worse that ubi!

Here is what they had to say about BUKA

In 2011 leading Eastern and Central European publisher 1C Company announced an agreement in which it acquired one of the largest Russian publishing and distribution companies, BUKA. 1C and BUKA are two of the most well known brands in the Russian games and multimedia market. Future cooperation opens new horizons for the strategic development of both companies. BUKA is one of the oldest players on the Russian game market. I always admired the company, its corporate culture, staff, management and operational efficiency," said Boris Nuraliev, Director of 1C Company. "The mutual potential of 1C and BUKA opens new unique opportunities and will help us to achieve success on this challenging and rapidly growing market. It will be an honor for us to develop such a well-known and popular brand

Here is what Illya had to say

Q&A with Sturmovik: Battle for Stalingrad project leader, Ilya Yevchenko.

How is this project related to your earlier work such as IL2 Sturmovik and Cliffs of Dover?

This is a new project

So yes this looks like the June suprise they were taking about but for some reason could never say.. Until now

Pretty detailed for a fake...

Well.... Sounds like we don´t get an MMO - Pay - Monthly - Thing...

Here is what interested me.

"Q&A with Sturmovik: Battle for Stalingrad project leader, Ilya Yevchenko.

How is this project related to your earlier work such as IL2 Sturmovik and Cliffs of Dover?
This is a new project.

We have heard earlier about another sequel to IL2 Sturmovik, Cliffs of Dover, called Battle for Moscow, is this the same project?
No, that is a different project which we are also announcing at the expo. With Battle for Stalingrad we are focusing on one of the most famous Battle of the Eastern Front, and which the air war story has never been told.

What can players look forward to?
We’re looking at some major improvements to the terrain and water. Also players will be able to join massive online games with a dynamic war flavor. Also players in this game will be able to drive vehicles such as tanks, aim searchlights, and man the anti aircraft weapons.
Is the latest in SLI support included?
We haven’t made changes to our usual SLI and Quad SLI support
What operating systems are supported? For example Windows 8
Windows 8 is not supported at this time, perhaps in future."

This explains a lot to me. I believe for all practical purposes, what we have now in CloD is all we ever will. I just don't believe that 3 projects
can be properly supported. This is just my opinion based upon the last 16 months in owning and testing CloD. I hope the other members here have more patience than myself. I'm done with this.

Sincerely, Good Luck 1C

Texans rarely quit!...they can pull it off if we support them. They are small team, they lost key players, they want success, they are trying hard.

@Slipball
No quitter here.
You can only graze cows in one spot for a limited period of time.
Then you gotta move them.

It's that time, now.
As a certainty.

Interesting. Given that they have proven unable to develop a single title satisfactorily, I would be interested to know how they plan to develop three simultaneously.

I'm curious. How does anyone expect major improvements to an all new product that has yet to be introduced?

Its highly unlikely that this new 3d game engine isn't based on the COD game engine. I doubt they would have had time to build a different game engine that works when they are still trying to fix the COD game engine. I believe the June announcement was delayed because the COD game engine hasn't been stabilized as quickly as they'd hoped, but I won't be jumping to any positive or negative conclusions just yet.

I agree with you about the base game engine, but those comments from B6 regarding how missions work, and how they will be completely different in the sequel, perhaps less coding needed - no longer in NET etc., has me thinking the core of the engine might be the same, but the perhaps many parts are completely different? Time will tell.

We're probably all posting to this topic to find out it's fake
