Hi Gaga

Pure assumption

Due to "online content" the publisher is the one usually responsible.

Legally though permission would be needed I would think for HL to allow CoD users "online content" access through the software.

Past experience with IL2 series showed the UBI servers were not up to the job and everyone used the Hyperlobby instead.

There was I would imagine an agreement with Oleg and Jiri, (but not sure about UBI) to allow the Hyperlobby exclusive use as the servers at UBI died off.
Also
There was talk of a online war for CoD with players stats etc recorded in a world wide database as a Pay to Play campaign, this was sometime ago and I'm not sure if this is still a viable offering in SoW.

Besides HyperLobby there used to be others.All Seeing Eye,X-fire,Gamespy Arcade.These all were lobbies of sorts.I think only X-fire survives.

ASE(All Seeing Eye) had better sorting and details about the current maps being used by the server.Also a more accurate player count and location of the server.But there was not a chat.Much harder to set up a coop.

Gamespy Arcade to me was a pain.

X-fire was ok but lacked the 'friendliness" of HyperLobby.

In the early days of IL2,on the multiplayer screen,there used to be a "play at Ubi.com) button.

As mentioned by KG26_Alpha their servers at the time were not up to it.For that matter their website was a loading disaster.They had trouble keeping the website going let alone servers.

I am not sure if Ubisoft wants to tackle that problem again.

I think I saw somewhere(I can not back this up) that the game would have an ingame browser.(Like ROF)

Whether or not COD will work with HyperLobby Jiri will not know until he gets a copy.Some games that have been requested to get rooms on HyperLobby will just not work.

Pay to Play is out of the question if you ask me

Agree, if they do move to the Med as (one of) the first expansions, I too will be very happy.
I've never been wild about Spitfires, but I've always liked the P40, so would look forward to this a lot.

The "renegade pilots" idea is cool. Think of "The hurt locker".
In every armies there are commanders hated by many people in their unit for a reason or another.
I'm not reffering here at "The hurt locker", but There are asholes everywhere, and in the army if they have superior rank, this is really bad news for a lot of people.
I punched my sergeant flat on his back the first time I had a chance and i knew he won't rat about it. The a$hole jumped the fence and went in town to get few drinks. I was "Legally OFF DUTY". He had to keep his mouth shut. I never again had to do two guard shifts every night, while the average was two shifts a week and run around the platoon for the seven kilometer march to the training grounds every day.
There were also many deserters that were hunted and shot down during the war.
This kind of tense relations are common in every army and is not a bad idea to have it in the game.

Default Knock your socks off

Last year, the year before? The devs asked for wild events that took place during the battle that would make you say wow.
Well, they have implemented two in the game.

Great little write up.
CANNOT WAIT FOR THE GAME!
