777 Studios wishes COD best of luck on their launch!
Hey guys,
First, anyone posting anything about COD who may or may not have a loose affilaition (mod or beta tester) with us does do so on their own accord and their opinion is just that, their opinion, not that of 777 Studios or it's employees. Nor have they been encouraged to do post anything about COD anywhere. Personally, I don't understand the weird competition on the forums between ROF and COD. It's baffling to me and wasn't like this in the old days. Ilya is my friend and we just recently had dinner together in Moscow (see this article for a pic) and both companies face the same challenges so it's pointless to do anything other than enjoy this hobby and make our products in the spirit of friendly competition. Everyone benefits as result. And I assume the feeling goes both ways. I and others on my team got our start in the IL-2 universe so we have no ill will towards this franchise and appreciate all this franchise and the people behind it has done for the genre. 777 Studios and the Rise of Flight Team wishes Cliffs of Dover great success as it only helps the genre as a whole. Regards, Jason Williams President 777 Studios |

So the videos posted on youtube by Vaal87 are really from your area? Are they beta status or ingame videos from the official release?

That's very gracious of you Jason. I would have thought that any developer making flight sims (or any sim) in this day and age should be keeping open and positive relationships with fellow developers. This genre of gaming is too small to try and knock off each other.
Personally I love all flight sims, ROF, IL-2, FSX, Falcon 4 etc etc. The more the merrier I say. |

They are not from "Us" they were just some early vids that we're out there which apparently popped up on a Russian forum. I have no idea where they came from only that it appeared to come from an ROF fan and I can't even confirm that much.
I only know some COD fans took offense and contacted me. No official 777 Studios employee has anything to do with anything posted about COD. Anyways, I refer to my post above. Jason |

Thanks Jason!
I also want to say that it's baffling to me that the community is split up into camps - RoF here, Birds of Prey there, BoB there. Flight sim fans are a very tiny community now, and fragmenting and wishing each other harm is completely insane. I see no reason why enjoying product A should prevent you from enjoying product B. We're not in a competition. On the contrary, we need each other to keep the genre alive. The fact is, it's just a few morons on all sides that are stirring things up for the rest of us. I'm sure 99% of the rest of the community has no ill feelings towards each other. We just need to learn to ignore the trolls and work hard to keep them out. |
