Just a few questions....

Even my housemate, a gamer that only likes FPS's, likes it on arcade mode.
But I got a couple of questions, more than a couple.

Ok so there's a DLC on live, but it adds a plane and one chapter in campaign, will we be seeing any more DLC's, maybe adding an extra map in skirmish? I'm also concerned about the sequel to this game, from what I have read it seems its going to be more focused on MP, will they be putting less effort into SP? I mean dont get me wrong its good, but more in-dept missions like a simple take-off and landing at start/end (I'm sure thats been said a thousand times) makes a huge difference in player immersion, especially for those that dont have live.
Also, will a fix for the loss of instructor sound in some of the tutorial missions be fixed in a later update?
Will we be seeing a true free-roam? The choice to start on an airstrip? Yes you can choose skirmish with a heinkel bomber that has no guns, but if your not paying attention when they fly over you and your landed, those 8 bombs do the job pretty damn well.
More missions like the one in the Battle of Britain SP where you run inspections? Sort of more FSX based missions? I love doing stuff like that!

Don't get me wrong, this is my favourite game for the XBOX by far, and in relation to how they ported it over the consoles, top-notch, I mean its the first time a real flight sim has been put onto a console (apart from PilotWings 64 hahaha), and for the job that has been done, brilliant first try!

Those are some tough questions, especially since they're related to the sequel. We've heard practically nothing about the sequel yet, so we have no idea what it'll be like. I can make some accurate guesses:
I don't think there'll be no SP in the sequel, there's a lot of positive feedback on the mission and I don't think they'll leave it out. I think what they're trying to say is they'll try to do a better job on the MP than on BoP.
I'm expecting a free roam. It doesn't seem like a lot of trouble to implement, en there's been multiple requests.
I don't think there'll be another DLC. I think the demand is too low, so I'm guessing they want to focus more on the sequel than on a new DLC.

As I said, these are guesses, I have no concrete evidence of any of this.
