how can you move forward when you have to keep taking 2 steps back??All we asked is that you guys should have STOPPED EVERYTHING and fixed the problem 1st.there would be NO complaints if this was done when the problems 1st appeared is all im saying.WE all have priorities and priority #1 should have been to fix the game before moving on.With that being said everyone should be pulled off of working on the sequel and get it done right.once and for all.it is the only way to move forward.

Sir, you do not have a grasp of how IL2 has worked over the years. Any game engine fixes/upgrades that appear in the sequel will automatically be applied to CloD when you merge the install after purchase of the sequel.

All the employees of Maddox Games that can work on fixes are, those like modelers and landscape builders and texture artists are doing what they do best. They are not game engine coders. This is a proper division of labor and to the best interests of the company and us.

*EDIT*

You also must understand that MG is no doubt under amazing pressures from 1C to show solid income. This is most easily accomplished by catering to their biggest, most important market, Russia. If you understand this, a sequel that focuses on the Great Patriotic War makes amazingly good business sense. And it means the title will survive, so we all can enjoy it for another decade or more.
