Is the main issue with 1C the lack of communication? Feedback = Consideration for us?

The only reason they "took time and money" to rewrite the graphics engine is because their future sales of expansions and MMO rely on it. Don't pretend they are doing it because they feel bad about the release of COD and are making it good for those customers. They are doing it for sales of things to come...they are done with COD as far as expanding it in anyway.

Of course they are acting in their own self interest by fixing the game engine.

If they fix the engine, COD becomes better/more playable, we are happier as users, and their next project is more likely to be successful and make money. Maybe even a few more copies of COD are sold.

Win/Win.

And if you want content expansion for COD, I am sure that 3rd parties will eventually add things. I would guess that if there were not so many other problems, the dev team could have provided more COD game content, but they probably have far exceed their project budget for COD with all the overhauling and troubleshooting.

Right now, just hope that the team can fix the bugs/create smooth running code that is the foundation for everything.

Agreed. It's just that it was phrased that they are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts.

Totally agree, i've had no problem with the graphics engine. in fact I'm still enjoying the game without the latest patch.

The only problem I'm having is Design issues (offliners need 1946 mission recorder) and small but annoying bugs (strange AI, things not working) ..and lack of new planes etc

I would suggest that anyone who has been in a long term relationship with a woman understands this feeling only too well.

That is some pretty airtight logic. I haven't the slightest clue why you seem to think it's a problem.

They fix the game. We all win.

They don't fix the game. We all lose.

Not happy that it's taking so long? Too bad. Find something else to do. Constant whining is not going to make it happen any faster.

This is my favorite post ever on this forum. The bottom line truth of the matter. Although I do like the Friday updates and wish EVERY FRIDAY they at least say something about the game or sequel. Complaining just makes it worse, we must be patient.

Very true, im sure a large amount of people who brought COD will be very patient when BOM is released and wait till they see the reviews first before spending any money.

You won't need to read any reviews to know how well the game works. I'll let you figure out why on your own.

Of course we will read reviews before shelling out, once bitten twice shy springs to mind

So your that sure that the developers wont say "The last patch that fixes everything for COD is released with BOM"?

Il wager they do, name your price.
