OMG. Actually, for once bongo, I agree with what you said. I did phrase that wrong. I should have said "won't make it until the sequel". Yes, no conspiracy, but still made a lot of folks unhappy...except you I imagine.

me? happy?

I guess I was thinking that because I was responding to Phat's observation when he said
"When the patch comes out it will most likely have the same engine and most of the features from 'BoM' (or whatever you want to call the sequel) and some of those features will only be activated if you buy the sequel"

Meaning, that the features will be there and just need to be unlocked by purchasing the sequel. Meaning held over. But thats just an observation and 1C never said it like that.

You left out a key part of Phat's quote

Which I think even you will admit changes things a tad

Which is how RoF does it.. Basically when RoF comes out with a patch, the patch contains all the new features (planes, scarfs, etc) but you will not be able to make use of any of those features until you go online and buy those features which in turn un-locks the code in the patch for you to make use of them.

True

The last time Luther spoke about this he said CoD sequals would follow in the footsteps of IL-2 sequals

Where you would have to allready own CoD and the sequal would be an addon which includes 'upgrades' and new 'features'

In this case BoM being the new featrues as in planes, maps, etc.

In the past that was a seperate CD/DVD, but what with STEAM involved, it could work much in the same way RoF does it.

Remember these , guys ?
Shown more than 2 years ago. always WIP, but was comfirmed by Oleg at that time that would be part of the first release. Now, 9 months after release, are we even close in terms of visual quality at playable FPS?
Whining is not pleasant, but at least give some room for expressing disapointement...And please stop saying that only a couple of features were not
implemented...Look at those pictures..There are many more like those that were " used" to promote the game....until the last minute before release...

Salute !

I may be wrong but, the first release was very close to this (except for the fires pictured at the burning Blenheim).

The only problem then was that the fps was <10 and sli was not working.

I can not make 1c responsible for the low fps (says Athos while ducking for cover...), all this amazing graphic detail requires hardware ressources.
And finding new HW is easier (although costly) than finding new flight simulations

But I expect the bugs to be ironed out with priority.

S!

So..basically. Luthier & Team should release a WELL documented SDK for CoD and oh boy would the community do something with it. Sure not all top notch, but I think the best of them would be VERY nice. Problem solved. Eh?
