last update il-2 in december(!)

I guess most of those 600,000 are chasing each other in circles in arcade mode, I had no idea it sold that many. I also had no idea Blazing Angles sold that well. Anyone who bought Blazing Angels should be ashamed.

I don't know why they chose 505 to publish, but about a year ago when I first heard about BOP, its wiki page said it was going to be published by Ubisoft (who made Blazing Angels and the even worse HAWX), and of course Ubisoft released HOE only a couple months after BOP was released. Maybe they were counting on Ubisoft for good post-release support, and when Ubisoft dumped them, they had to find another publisher. But it's hard to imagine finding a worse publisher than Ubisoft. They'll support games, but only when they are utter garbage in the first place.

A good diplomat always gives gifts to foreign leaders.

The Allies owed a lot to Mussolini for sure. Maybe he was a British spy all along.

I also blame 505 for the death of Companion Cube

the next big fail of a publisher:

after 4 month, codemasters will not longer support operation flashpoint 2 in any ways...

This is an even bigger fail from the biggest publisher of them all:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/ea...or-more-titles

Lord Of The Rings Conquest has a similar core following as we have for BoP. If BoP was switched off like this I may just hang myself

after only 1 year ?
grrrr....

bop runs on a peir to peir basis and is in no danger of being turned off
