it was just a try to bring new blood, new players from outside the sim niche, to the game.

unfortunately, it was not so well done.. it wasn't even the best way.. there were so many good stories which could have been told..

you can't blame them for the spitgirl, as it haven't done any harm to the sim itself.

It's a shame that time and resources (photoshoot with real girl, etc) were wasted on a "feature" nobody needs and wants when the core game itself is in such a poor state.

Agreed 100%

Just about every game maker has included some sort of 'easter egg' in their games

Ill never forget MicroProse's Pacific Air War 1942. On the pacific map there was this 'extra' island.. And if you flew out to it.. You would see the boat from Gillgan's island and recive radio messages from the professor!

As a guy who does alot of programing (mostly embeded stuff and WSMR utilities) I know there are 'down times' where you are waiting for this or that and can not continue with what your doing until you recie this or that update from some other programer.. So instead of sitting on your hands you do 'other' things. This is where most if not all 'easter egg' stuff comes from

So to try and paint 1C as the first game maker to do this is just silly as all get out

So, for the umpteenth time in this thread. Back on topic...

Fresh Google Translate (Yoda talk) from Sukhoi today (2012-06-04) by B6 (I changed "WT" to CloD below and put in some linefeeds):

Quote:
In connection with the next Wave of alarmist rumors repeat (as an Official Representative), three Basic facts about CloD:

1) We Will continue to work on a patch for CloD and the Engine, in spite of the announcement and Development of the sequel

2) to Develop CloD, Creating New content, We do not plan to

3) The output of the Su-26 and KFOR OFFICIALLY Currently Has not Been canceled
Nice! I had given up on the Su-26... And what the heck is KFOR? SDK?

If it is the SDK and it has been canceled, that will be a pretty big blow I think...
