TBF RoF is not fairing much better all it means is that the large companies producing the same old rubbish are drawing in the sheep as usual

And it was more like 60 ppl on ATAG...

nobody is playing CLOD, esp squads playing any sort of online war like the VEF wars.
Nobody is playing because it has failed to grab the public players, more people are playing WOP.

no one plays because it crashes ALLOT but, there is actually a descent amount of ppl that do play you can go onto the atag server and find 30 ppl most of the time.

the game will be awesome once the fix everything......... give it a year ...lol

Realitive to???

As I allready stated

Flight sims are a nitch market in the gaming market..

Last time I logged into DCS BlackShark or A10 the number of people playing was well under a 100.

So 40+ plus playing a.. how did you put it? broken, bugged, missing stuff flight sim says alot IMHO!

What does it say you ask?

Well IMHO what it says is there is MORE RIGHT about CoD than WRONG

i dont know. but il2 1946, as about 50, twice a week on my squad server, for a single event.

i wish COD had the same ammount of activity that il2 has. but whilst its not working better ( its better, and finally working for me) people wont pass over ( belive me, preatty much every one of those 50 guys that fly on SEOW on my squad TS, are waiting for a general green light, to go and buy COD.

best wishes for next patch, and better be released soon. if COD starts working before christmas it would be a blast for the sales.

There's 450 pilots in Hyperlobby IL2 1946 at the moment 21:00 GMT

No shortage of CoD customers, just a shortage of people willing to host something other than the usual boring Dogfights and generate some interest in the sim.

Hyperlobby has a great IL2 1946 community, Cliffs of Dover needs the same help as the original IL2 Series got from its users.

I don't think the CoD online interface helps create a community the way Hyperlobby does.

CooP FTW

Well..

I know many of IL-2 customers that have been scared off by all the myths about CoD

I also know many of IL-2 customers that would love to be playing CoD right now.. myth or no myths.. but thier PC are not up to the challange, thus once they spend the $1,500 upgrade they will be playing CoD

Agreed 100%

But even with the addition of the CoD lobby in HL there still seems to be more joining via the build in gui.. Some of that I belive is due to fear of a steam ban, some of it is due to not knowing HL has a CoD lobby!

But some of the ATAG CoD servers get pretty close to the COOP feel at times

[HR_Naglfar]

I've played coops in CoD.

What's supposed to be the problem?


Btw I just can't fly IL2 1946 since I tried CoD. Seems like a toy to me since then

[furbs]

450 people playing IL2 right now.
