A Question for my fellow COD lovers

The reason it isn't selling is because they did a Cr*p job on it, not because there isn't a community. The original IL-2 continued to sell even after FORGOTTEN BATTLES came out because it was a GOOD game. CoD is a lousy game that's why it doesn't sell.

And to compound the error and build a sequel on top of the current trainwreck is no way to solve the financial problems the company is having. Yeah they might get a few one off sales to start, but if the problems which plague CoD are present in BoM, then its future isn't going to be any brighter.

It would have cost them a lot less to get down and actually fix the problems in CoD instead of devoting all their time to building a new Sim. Instead they allocated the major portion of their resources to building new aircraft, maps and objects, all of which are going to be operating in the same poorly coded game enviroment.

How stupid do they think the community is? Do they think we will continue to buy half finished games on the promise we will have a different cockpit to sit in, while neglecting to mention yeah, different cockpit, same old issues?

Sorry, don't see this as a viable business plan, and I don't plan to be a subscriber.

An outsider reading through the forums would have little choice but to consider that for the most (but not all, are rather....

The thing you don't seem to be getting is that they are fully aware that if cod doesn't get fixed very few ppl will bother with whatever they produce, we know this they know this the next instalment has to be compatible with Cod so do ppl really think they are taking fixing this game lightly?

Well, with the amount of whining, crying, tiny foot stamping going on, combined with utter outrage because (for instance) the clouds aren't puffy enough... I could really understand it if they'd be putting alot of effort into just messing with peoples' heads

The way you talk you would think nobody had paid for the game and we were all just sat beta testing the game for free. People have paid money and they are now beta testing a game that will eventually gain this company more money. I think people have a right to question things because they don't want to get sucked back into buying a product that might be no better. I hope it all works out but you have to expect some people to be upset about this.

I did not write whinge, whinge, whinge whinge... whinge, whinge, whinge anywhere. Has someone edited my post? Where did you see this post originally from me Wolf_Rider? Look at it like this Wolfy..This company made the game because they want to make money and if they didn't make money I bet my bottom dollar they would moan about it. I myself work and am not in the habit of giving away money for nothing when I have worked for it and I will moan until I get my moneys worth.

Where exactly did I say someone is going to get sued? Also, if you feel charitable enough I know plenty of charitable organisations if you don't mind giving money away so freely.
