An Alternate Strategy?

Wiat wait wait... How do YOU know that these things can be delivered piecemeal? How do we not know they are intertwined?

The plan has always been and never changed that the sequels can be installed as a standalone sim or merged with previous theaters. How many patches we get before the release of sequel will probably depend on how long it takes for the sequel to be ready for release and how quickly patches are created. I can't see the sequel being ready anytime soon and would expect atleast another couple of patches for COD before the release of the sequel.

Thats what my money is on.

Honestly I think if they could release anything they would have. I believe that they simply dont have anything ready, and that any and all improvements depend on this rewrite.

Cant build a house until the foundation is set.

Its seems that since Luthier "vanished" from this forum, the whole project took another turn. It feels like if new foundings and manpower came in. As well as a new PR politics. Its like if everything was redone from scratch and the new " investors" went along at the condition of changing the whole management.
It is no longer Oleg's project. It is no longer a "special" relationship with the community, it is no longer a sharing of WIP and feedbacks. This method was a total PR and marketing failure...Those times are gone. But it is hard for long time faithful followers, I presume, to adapt to the new order. It looks like the next step from Luthier's team will be to present a final and complete version of CLOD, and turn the page. They have nothing to gain by giving us bits and pieces. No one will be satisfied and ready to move on to the sequel until CLOD is competed as we feel it should have been at release.
I therefore expect no updates or infos from Luthier until the game is fully functionnal and completed as it should have been...

I think you guys missread what Black Six posted. He said the BETA will be graphics only and once is ready for prime time, the official patch will have other fixes as well.....


......or at least that's what I understood from his post.

Luthier has stated earlier that the natural progression of C.o.D would follow the same as Il2 AEP, PF, and 1946. This means as I read it that some fixes will come as patches to C.o.D others will be included in the new expansion packs. Guess we can't expect miracles but it would be nice to have some of the problems fixed before the release of B.o.M just to regain the support of the community. The success of the sequel will depend on the sales it achieves and by not keeping dialogue going with the support base a lot may hold back and wait until it is proved that things have been fixed before purchasing the sequel.

I did not read all the thread but why you guys are explaining the same things over and over ?

Guess that someone are denying developers words again and successful trolling a thread ... again.

Seems the post where Blacksix talked about what was in the patch has been deleted, at least i cant find it now.

since we are playing CloD as Beta , anyway, why not give us every friday a current state beta patch, to help to test with the possibility to rollback, since most of us are using JSGME... so the community can help, we are allways up to date, and 1c will have a directly input from the playerbase,
I think that everyone would benefit from, imo

Heinz, maybe because whatever they do or say they get hammered by some of the minority that`s quite vocal here?
