I just can't understand it, I mean are Activision that dumb?
IL-2 BoP is in a niche subject, WW2 fighters are for the majority of gamers (young Americans) uninteresting. Apache helicopters on the other hand isn't a niche subject, gamers interest in military helicopters is probably at an all time high thanks to other recent games. Activison could so easily tap into this interest and get waaaay more sales than BoP managed but apparently they are blind to this and see it as a budget knock off game.

I'm with you, pope. it actually boggles the mind. with all the modern warfare games being pretty popular and this one with potentially a great engine and graphics behind it...to play it off like this i cant fathom. if its worth putting out, its worth throwing a few $ behind it to make it big. unless they put out the initial PR and were guaging the potential sales by the response they got. maybe we will all be surprised and they will have some kick off campaign when its released but i'm not holding my breath.

I know exactly what you guys mean. Modern Warfare is where the money has been the past few years and this game is modern so, maybe thats why they are publishing it. I still don't see why there isn't a website or something out there that shows this games existence. I really don't think it will even have a chance because of COD,MOH, and GT5 coming out not a very good month to release it in, and to top it off they don't even let a interested group of people know anything about what I asked.

I said in my e-mail that a bunch of us on this forum have been waiting for news.
