The future of CoD...

[mazex]

Maddox Games have just released a beta patch trying to fix the two major whinig points here (color and sound). IMO they have done a heck of a work and for some days this forum was filled with positive posts by the most devoted critics (even Tree was clearly out of balance and did a succession of positive posts ).

So, look at the topics now a week later... The same whine as any other week. Whatever they do, their "loyal fans" will always find something new to whine about...

Any day now I fear that 1c will pull the plug as there is no Santa Claus throwing good money after bad. Then we will have to live with CoD in the state it is as it is the best WW2 sim the last five years (and only). With a community like this where any potential customer will be scared away we deserve it. Everyone seems to think that MG will live forever patching this game, didn't they with il2? The difference is that IL2 was a commercial success selling 800000+ copies.

The funny thing is that I think a lot of people would be surprised to hear that 1c had shut down Maddox Games with immediate effect. But Ilya said they where doing fine and where already planning addons? Of course he has to keep the spirit up... Should he say that he has meetings every other week with 1c management about how long they will let them try to fix the game and present a viable business plan to ensure return of the money 1c has invested? Don't think so... And still the ones that really care for this niche product continue to find things to get angry with instead of trying to support those poor sods wrestling with a code base that really is not done yet...

Just had to get it out of me. Please feel free to flame me as a fan boy...
