We must help the devs with bug reports etc and gamble with our investment in the sequal. Worst that will happen is you will lose 30 quid... If you cant afford to lose that you should be gaming.

as for this, sir, with all my respect, I'm sorry to say it, but you're an idiot. you should have done your lessons first, before start throwing crap at me.. it's easier for you to just trash talk anyone trying to do something, than do it yourself.. kind of proving what sort of man are you..

And I think most of us will do the same.

And I really, really wish them to pull out their head from the closet and make the code GPL or at least pick up some users from this community who want to volunteer to work on some parts of their code: they can easily deal with non-render-engine related stuff (as AI, GUI, bugs, etc.).

PS: and I've not changed my post, I've just polished it a little bit. no message itself change, as you can easily see comparing with what you've quoted.

and again you're talking using only half of your brain power..

Im calling your bluff. You see doing that would actually be hard work, not just visiting a forum with your gripes everyday.

how would you know that? do you know me? do you know what I am doing for living?

actually, unlike you, I've signed it with my own real name.

and again unlike you, I'm willing to bet on that, I am working as a game developer from 10 years by now, as lead designer, lead programmer and senior producer. we've worked with lots of investors, including Sony Online Entertainment for example. Just do a search on LinkedIn on my name, and you'll see it in there (including a recommendation from a SOE director of production). and I am second in a small business which had its ups and downs during these years (including business almost failing situations).

again, nothing else than just showing what kind of man you really are..

I forgive you for insulting me. I understand I am threatening the reality of something very dear to your heart. I am sorry for doing that.



However:
Go for it mate! I really wanna see this flesh out.

The above few threads illustrate why this idea will never work!

no, I forgive you for insulting me, mate.

and also for not seeing what this actually is about.. as MG might be the direct gainer from this, if this materializes and MG can pick up the glove.

we all might get out of it better: us with a working and improved CoD and a better sens of us as a community able to do things and get some respect, MG with some investment money for CoD, which would also benefit their BoM sequel and engine, 1C with some other 3rd party investor adding money in which would mean better chances for them to get their investment back, and in the end the game itself with some better face

call me a dreamer, but I do really think we can pull this up

you are right, but again, we don't need all the community to make this work. and if the ball starts rolling, I'm sure many of the rest of the nay-sayers will also jump in. we all love this kind of game, otherwise we wouldn't be here.

Anyone that wants to contact the OP about his idea please PM him.

Your only a dreamer if you dont take action...
