BoM is all a conspiracy.

the release date of the sequel?! wait that COD be no more a beta version!

I don't know what the rest will do regarding the sequel but I won't spend any more money in any expansion to the game unless I'm sure what I'd be getting is a truly finished product.

I won't pre-order as I did for CoD or anything like that this time ( I got collector's edition btw). I'll wait to see what's the general opinion about the new release before I invest more money towards this. In other words, give me a finished product and I'll buy it, give me not and 1C won't have my money just to maintain development, sorry but that's being a joke already with CoD and the only thing I know is I paid for something I cannot even fully use as would be expected, I'm sorry.

I cannot believe 1C can be even thinking of releasing a sequel before fixing CoD properly first; no working SLI, no working AI, serious performance problems and a long etcetera ... that's far from serious IMHO, but well that's life.

1C, if you plan to do the same as you did with CoD, you throw the dice and get your chances

Good lucking waiting for it to be finished, like the first IL2, it will never be finished, it will keep getting patches and addons for another 10 years, as computers get more processing power and memory more features will be added, I'm shocked that you bought the collectors edition and you don't know this, you should definately support IL2, already it is an awesome game

Yep, most definitely. I've spent thousands in a PC, a fancy HOTAS, Track IR, even a fancy desk just so I could enjoy one of my hobbies - playing WWII combat sims.

I think the $50 or w/e it costs to keep that hobby alive is a fairly cheap investment. Lets face it, noone else is doing a high fidelity WWII sim, let alone one that has as much possibilities with it.

I'll be the 1st one in line to preorder the new sequel. I've been waiting for this series forever. I'm sure many others have as well. And there's no way that a few bugs / issues that are being worked on are going get my panties in a twist over it.

I've gotten my monies worth 100x over with this sim already. Even with the bugs, the experience is simply amazing. And when we get this damned launcher crashing thing fixed, I can't wait to see all the formations of bomber guys, fighters, and the masses online. The future for this is just getting started, and I'm happy that I'm finally getting to fly it - even if a bit broken in some areas.

I already did support the sim buying collector's edition I think (I do not regret it either) and got something far from what was promised so far.

I also think that this could be an awesome game, have no doubt about it and never said the opposite, but I expect that when I buy a car not only has four wheels but it also runs.

With this "grab the money and run" policy 1C is showing with this sim (at least to me) makes me have serious doubts about how the whole project has been planned, to be honest.

I'd be happy to keep buying whatever they release as far as these have enough quality to be considered something to think about investing more money on them.

I had other disappointments with 1C develpoments in the past, TOW for instance was a even more buggy game when it was first released and people got really pissed off, many stuck to their word and never bought anything else from the saga, but I do not want that happens with CoD at all.
