Some valid points, but also a lot of rose-tinted glasses look over here. "Good and pretty well rounded"? Now, that's a bollox and poppycock indeed.
It is a pretty good sim now for low-to-mid altitude online dogfighting. However, as far as other online modes and whole off-line features are concerned, it cannot hold candle to '46. Was there a need and potential for further development of the engine and the series? Sure it was. You gotta remember though, that somebody has to pay programmers for this development, and whining or nonwhining forum members have nothing to do with publisher's financial decisions. It's not about our patience, but patience of the investors. |

and investors will lose that patience when subjected to such bad publicity and whingeing.

Investors will loose patience when it takes too many years and too many millions to realize a return of their investment, which I'm pretty sure that CLoD never returned, even if it did turn out to be a decent product in the end.

One could argue they should have seen it earlier then, do you really believe it's coincidence that CoD got binned after getting completely raped by the community?

I don't think it's a coincidence at all, since I don't think that 1C's decision to axe CLoD had anything to do with the vileness of this community. In the end, I think it was still a "money talks, bullshit walks" type of thing.

True enough, Bongo. Then again, BoS will only share the name of IL2, but seemingly not it's depth. Of course, that might change down the road, but I'm treating it as something completely different than IL2, even if it shares the name. Whether I buy it or not will remain to be seen, and it depends a LOT on the info they give out in the coming months.

And after 8 years of development, many " yes" turned out to be a "never"... I f you are right about the fact that a part of CLOD's failure is due to the constant whining, and investors were influenced by the moaning on the forum, it shows how Jason has acquired some whisdom from that venture... So he says "no" to everything that is not essential in the first built of BOS.... Salute ! |

It has good points (how it looks in-cockpit plus player models) but there is a lot that is still poor. LOD (disappearing/invisible aircraft wind me up) Weather systems missing or unuseable online No co-op mode Poor campaign Trees flickering and insubstantial Poor engine optimisation etc That they released it in such a poor state, and couldn't fix it in time, is what killed it. If it had been good on release, or massively improved in a short time, it would have lived. You cannot whine about people expressing their dissatisfaction when that dissatsisfaction was right. Quote:
You don't have to buy BoS if you don't want to. It'll be the only game in town but you don't have to play or even be negative about it. Wow, I'm starting to sound like the fanboys who said I should have checked the forums before buying CLOD (depsite showing my support by a pre-order). Hood |

I would much rather do North Africa and the Mediterranean. Is there any future for mods with COD?
