Nah, not really. Play MMO's for a few years, and you'll learn to deal with any eventuality that might arise

I was reading the first set of posts and man, its 2012 the worlds supposed to end! Finally just skipped to the middle and sped read / skimmed to here

LOL so true

I was a duke nuke em fan. The original DUke 3D was pretty cool; especially the starship troopers mod.

And also dark forces rounded out the doom / doom 2 fun of my start at PC gaming.

So patience was tested for the duke sequel and when it finally came out and was a CnB (crash n . . .)

I realized putting faith in future games was unreal. I never thought the final fantasy 6 (and ff IX) would be the last ones I'd like . . . the new ones just don't do justice.

So I am ready to let Il-2 1946 go and all its expectations and for this game as well.


But look at the devs, they are still going on, and like many posters have said, the game engine needs fixed. And I agree with that.

And once the game engine is fixed and stable, the possibilities go out the window and into (well they're not going to make a space sim lol) . . .


I mean if DCS engine can make a p-51 have a p-51 feel, well there's hope for this game.

The Devs and B6 are working at it. I'm sorry the devs and B6 have to deal with alot of the junk people are saying about them.


If you guys (haters / complainers) don't like the game return it and get your money back, most stores have a 30 day return policy (here in US).

And if you're past the 30 days, then its on you. If you say, 'I wanted to keep it for the patch' you knew how it would go down; there's a chance a magic bullet patch would be out in 2 weeks and its 1946 all over again.

Or the patch is going to be knock down, drag out, all out fight that takes years . . . (because some thing foundational is flawed in the code . . .).

Don't complain about the pics being posted, shoot, there are lots more at stake in the world than this.

Don't be a nag. Kudos to those guys and gals playing the game and sending the crash reports. They're helping.


---

The ROF comparison is funny too. ROF is working fine but at release it was shoddy and all the 1946 people were all laughing. But now its reversed with ROF being strong and IL series the weaksauce. Kudos to ROF crew for setting a good example. I personally thought IL-2 series would never go down the ROF starting route, but I guess things change.

But at least both games are being worked on.


-------

for all the people moaning about ac fm's and colors . . . those details need to wait until the game engine is fixed.

Once the engine is working, then the details outside can be remedied.

------

I think all those people saying they will not buy the sequel will change their tune once the game's fixed.

------


once again thanks for the updates, at least we have those now.

Jugding from the way they planned CoD the plans will fail anyway but it might be advisable to deactivate any auto-update function

BlackSix,

thanks for your reply and further information

the problem however remains unchanged, even if an MMO is planned later which plans to include some of those features i listed (or will overlap with some of it)

right now CoD has major content gaps and omissions, which are unlikely to be resolved by the time BoM is to be released (since no information is provided on 1c/MG even recognizing these problems exist), and even if BoM will include some new major features like basic control over some ground vehicles which will eventually be included in an MMO type setting, this does NOT address the concerns i mentioned in my previous post !

if you have a look at DCS's version of an MMO being due for the release at the end of june 2012 (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=89468), they are ready with a multi featured and very complex addon for their game series (including a special version for their p51 battlefield environment with expanded AI ww2 planesets to fight against which is not yet officially announced ), this level of detail in an MMO product by 1C/MG is most unlikely since they state themselves they have been to busy with fixing CoD and getting ready for BoM to do much else (or else it would mean fixing CoD has been priority number 3 or even lower on their list, which is not what they have been assuring us all these months while we frustratingly wait for CoD fixes).

we need urgently some better/improved features and gameplay control elements for CoD to expand the user base and keep current customers interested, even if eventually there will be a much better and expanded version of MMO released later

dont make the mistake to again have months/years of promises of the holy land being about to be delivered, and meanwhile your boat has sailed and all your customers are gone to either do something else or have gone to the competition who have passed you by. there is 10 yrs of customer loyalty you are in the process of loosing, which is an asset none of your competitors have so far, once you loose that and other competing products have surpassed you, it is not something you can get back in a hurry, causing further loss of income to 1C/MG, which means reduced revenue, which means reduce staff and employees to fix/make things, which means less product fixes and features, then less products, and the POOF you are completely gone while you wonder what happened and are only left with dreams of what could have been.

you can only stop and reverse this downward spiral by addressing some of the main issues i mentioned SOON and expand some gameplay features to keep your currently very frustrated old customer base interested and hope to maintain some goodwill. several of these missing/lacking gameplay elements are already built in, and can be implemented fairly quickly in some basic form, since most features and coding is already built in and we now "just" need methods to access it with some sort of control panel or user interface. having gfx engine bug fixes that make the game playable you claim yourself are now mostly resolved, so SOME of your effort and energy can be directed to quickly resolve/add some of the missing elements i listed earlier.

It's the good advice, thanks, but you don't know about our inner situation and I can't say about it also. We will make that we can.

With all respect B6, IMO you should better not spread that kind of statements as they may lead to speculations. Reading between those lines.....
