S!
While CoD has it's moments and potential it was released prematurely, no-one can deny that. Devs, luckily for us, work hard to patch up the things and really hoping the game will be in better condition upon US release in about a week or so.
Pelit (Games), a Finnish gaming magazine did a review on CoD. They did not give a rating to it, yet. Just stated the same seen all over the place: premature release, bugs and performance issues. They acknowledged the patches and all but also noted that CoD's lifespan depends how quick the game is patched/finished. The reviewer is a long time flight simmer and avid fan of IL-2 series, so not the usual "I play this 5min and do a review" thingy.
As of the letter. Well, sure credits are to be given where they are due. Not arguing that. But for whatever reason IL-2 CoD failed to live up to the name of IL-2 we are used to. If Luthier and his team manage to pull off the patching and finishing the game, then we can really celebrate.
Annoying is the attitude here. Critics or anything negative about CoD is frowned upon. Sure there is whining and such, but some people do post relevant posts about the state of the game. Even a thread of "constructive feedback" that can be used. It really does not change anything if we all would be squirming on floor and praising the devs, being pro brown noses. Won't make us look any better in their eyes. I believe that a truthfull no nonsense critic that is well written, loaded with data and gets to the point is more appreciated by the devs than puppy eyed attitude that everything goes, praising the game in every turn or being a "defender of holy CoD".
Really, we paid for a beta. Let's do our share to test and help. That way CoD can one day be what is was supposed to be.
