That does not give me hope for what ever they are trying to do. there is a base problem with COD, and its not going away any time soon.
They have had my support and my money, they have had almost 5 months since release, at what point should we start seeing the devs pull their fingers out and getting things right? 6 months, a year?
how long is too long Robtek?

Sorry for butting in as the question was directed to Robotek but, how long is too late for whom?
For many who have been expressing their dissatisfaction I would probably say it's already too late. It obvious from some of the comments that there is nothing that the developers could do to appease some people and that they're just here to stir the pot.
For the developers it will be to late as soon as a competitor releases an alternative that is better, has more features and is more stable. As a community we are quite a fickle bunch and It's in the developers best interest to get the problems sorted out as quickly as possible. They have a short window of opportunity. I would assume that Alienating enthusiast like your-self who have shown a long term commitment to the original series and community is not their intentions
So far I haven't seen any evidence that the developers haven't been 'pulling their fingers out' (I'ld assume they'd be working as hard as they could be), but 'getting it right' may be a bit harder to achieve. Quick fixes may not be the best course of action in the long run. 'Hopefully' they are doing it right and hopefully it doesn't take too long.
Cheers!
