2,000+ posts and you feel ripped off, lol. Looks like you've gotten your moneys worth from 1c and then some, I'll be buying the sequel as soon as I can.

I will not pre-order but I will buy within the first few days if forum feedback is good. I don't mind paying full price if it is good quality - there are only so many WW2 sims out there...

So anouncing a sequal equates to giving up on this game? Huh.. I don't see it that way, I see it going the same way IL-2 went.. As in IL-2 has been around for going on 10 years now, and during that time we received dozens of free updates that not only fixed bugs but added new planes and maps, and several sequels that we paid for. Each sequel not only added new planes, maps, features, but it also included all the resources (planes, maps, ect) from the previous versions. When you consider that track record I think you would not be so worried/upset by the news that 1C is working on a sequel.. Yet you are? Why is that?

Those days are gone mate. Maddox Games isn't the same company it was when Il-2 was in its heyday. Theres a whole new staff and leadership now. Just the name is the same.

Not sure how you can say the developers have given up on the COD. Both COD and BfM use the exact same game engine. Yes they have people working on the Maps and Aircraft for BFM, but EVERYONE else in the development are working on the game engine {which includes AI, Graphics Engine, and features like dynamic weather,etc,etc} which will apply to both COD and BFM automatically.

S!

Well, we should not light up torches and all as we for sure do not know what happened behind the scenes when IL-2 CoD was developed. Something happened and resulted most likely to this what we have now, but Luthier and his team have done a lot of work to improve what they got in their hands. Sure the game should have been all this and that from release, but at least we know for sure Luthier is changing things to the right direction aka new GFX engine, new sounds etc. That is what matters..there are not many WW2 sims coming out these days anyway and I hope IL-2 series will prevail as I for sure want to fly other theatres too

It seems that doom'n'gloom is more fashionable atm.

But then, one can only become positively disappointed this way.

Anyway it's a sad way to view the future, imo.

Ah well. Can't be helped really. One might be forgiven for expecting another slow motion train wreck for their next effort.
