Septic.
Its quite possible, but I think they know there are too many gameplay issues yet to address, to make the sale of the Sequel successful. That said financial pressures may force them to release another unfinished product, with the hope they can fix these problems more quickly than COD's performance issues. It should be quicker as the gameplay issues should not require any huge rewrites, like the graphic engine rewrite required.

Well realistically if they get COD functioning, then BOM should just be a matter of plugging in the parts (models, landscape, missions, etc) to an already functioning game, essentially an add-on. All bets are off of course if they decide to expand on what the game is (ie MMO style)

The justification in pricing might be tricky as well, do they charge full game price if its just a new location with new planes and such? Guess it all depends on their plans for it... we will have to wait and see.

Yes, the key again is getting the game engine functioning. Once thats completed adding new theaters is a matter of adding maps, aircraft, and campaigns. Any new fixes and features will apply to any past theaters when the sims are merged. MMO's are easy as you already have all the content from COD and any other theaters you've built.

I doubt the pricing will change, considering the millions of dollars they spent, and are still spending getting the game engine to work. I doubt the sales of COD even come close to covering those costs, and the Sequel probably won't either. The key to any success is the sale of a number of Sequels, MMO's, and contracting out the game engine.
