Another pointless poll...

If i could turn back time...

(Que movie dreamlike wavy screen with music)

...and change COD's development style to ROF's, in which we had to pay more often for planes and extras, but guaranteed COD would be working as well as ROF is now with everything fixed, bug free, clouds, trees, weather, sound, extra planes, net code and campaigns ...everything.

Would you have gladly payed...lets say... £100?

[Pudfark]

I would have paid more than that for a more "workable" sim at release.
As it turned out?
I spent about $1500.00 for what we have now.

Some where in the above, is the solution in/for the future.
Maybe?

I'd have gladly paid double the price for a working CloD on release. I've bought Steel Beasts Pro PE for 125$ and still consider it a fine investment. Same for all the content I bought for RoF or the DCS series.

I don't like this style of pay to play, nothings worse than sitting on a server trying to play the game and having to buy a plane just to play, then never seeing that plane come up again, I'd rather pay more money up front and have everything

reality changes all the time by time travellers

curiously my dreams on time travel and reality change fit those in mib3 and the ened of eternity by asimov

theres a time line where the ubizoo got broken and all that community migrated here wchich brought such a good mood to the forum and nice comunity that the modders helped luthier bring up the perfect game

also that time line is so nice they discover water is slightly poisonous so drinking alcoholics beverages is the only drink as cheap as water

in that time line you open the water tap at home and it comes out beer

but well it couldnt be in that timeline a neurobiologist test a chip -brain interface in atetraplegic which finally decodes the language of the brain

so sorry guys is btter to not have a working game that humanity devolving and eventually stinguishing all due to the fast rewards of trnahumanism

edit:

so my answers is yes i would pay again even double for it i regret nothing in my past choices

I think that would be a smart move.. It is the future of games that are not as popular (sales) as other games, and flight sims falls into that catagory.

So let me see if I understand you correctly..

When you say 'working as well as RoF' your saying less bugs is aceptable?

If so glad to hear you admit it!

Because truth be told RoF is NOT without issues!

The current RoF versions has a few nasty bugs in it, the most noticeable one being the sound bug, where it forces you to leave the online server and restart the software.

I have allready spent more than that on RoF and I don't regret one penny of it! RoF is a great sim and alot of fun.. But as noted above it is not perfect! When you take into account that RoF has been out (released) a good year before CoD and what with the 777 buy out, they have had more 'time' and 'money' to fix the bugs in RoF..

Yet they have not fixxed them all! Something the peeps in this forum should take note of the next time they compare RoF to CoD.

That is to say check back in a year and after a CoD sequal and see which flight sim you like better!

[CWMV]

Truth is the RoF model works.
Is like to see maybe plane packs, say 109E-1 to E-7 rather than each plane individually, but hell anything is better than what we have now.

[Jaws2002]

I think the problem was how funds were alocated rather than how much funding the game got.
I think they spent way too much money and time for things they didn't need at release and then end up with not enough money to pay the most important guys in the team, what they deserved (or wanted).
From my understanding some of the lead programers left or were fired from the team for financial reasons, less then a year from the release.

Really bad move.

[ElAurens]

*YAWN*

Pointless indeed.

[raaaid]

hey you overlooked my idea:

how about making clod open source as il246 and let a bunch of modders work on it to fix it
