Hi all,

If CoD was 100% perfect, it would be 99% better than anything else out there.

Support the future

Best Regards,
MB_Avro.

If the future is releasing half baked, non-functioning alphas and then moving on to sequels before the original release is at least 3/4s baked, then you can count me out. (probably a lot of others as well)

COD wasn't released as an alpha, it worked for half the people but the devs wanted to fix it for the other half and ended up re writing the code and now it is an alpha.

Force10, with such a limited ability to see possibilities and so strong ties to the past you are already counted out.

I doubt the development will be in business long enough to complete any Sequel unless the developers fix the game engine. That said if things continue to go badly, the investors could again force the development to release what they have completed for the Sequel, and then quietly shut the development down to atleast get a small portion of their investment back. BUT I'm sure the investors are not stupid enough to think many people will buy blindly this time.

If they release the sequel in the state Il2 CloD is now I'll buy it. Just not untill it hit's the Steam bargain bin at $9.95. I'm enjoying it in it's current form but could do without the crashes, stutters and dismall SLI performance. Why do RoF and DCS run like greased lightning without stressing (one!)my gtx 680 and Clod struggles along while the GPU goes all out? Almost hoping they somehow merge and get all the talent onboard with RoF. RoF: WWII edition. Don't get me wrong, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed hoping that they eventualy get it fixed and continue the series. Just not holding my breath anymore.

There is no difference. It's alpha now with the new code, it was alpha at the release.

Otherwise this new version should run worser then the former one.

I'm half expecting another paid addon for 1946 somewhere down the track if things go very poorly for Maddox Games.

But it wasn't an alpha on release.....sure some people liked to call it an alpha.

why should it run worse? it's an alpha version of an improving graphics engine.

Maybe they should hire the Daidalos Team to help out with CloD
