Did you use google translate for this? I am fully aware that UBI did not develop this, however they have already crippled IL2 with their NG agreement (which I presume still stands, especially if they hold on to the IL2 name).

Which leads me to another question - why isn't there a 1C logo on the box?

If there is a firm release date, collectors boxes, publishers and everything in place that signals concrete last steps on the release I would have expected a friday update with drumroll and fireworks saying that your wait is over etc.

If this is just a hoax of smoke and mirrors like we have seen over the years with people being able to pre-order since 2007 then it's a different story and we're up for a nasty surprise. I wonder how I get so worked up on this rumour as we've seen waves like this come and go over the years but there are some aspects in the air to make me think this might be it.

1) The synchronized update on several sites almost simultaniously
2) Identical and believable pics, IL-2 naming, release dates, collectors boxes etc.
3) Sandy bridge processors hit the stores just a few days ago
4) Tree not here yet saying it won't be out till 2012 despite the topic that should set forum-whine-emergency bells ringing in the his cave
5) etc

Oleg has indicated several times that he can't reveal the publisher, because that publisher reserved the right to make that announcement themselves (and it's not far-fetched to think this also applies to release date & system requirements). Should Ubi indeed turn out to be the western publisher, while keeping completely mute about the game so close to release, then this brings us right to the next point:

What's the source for all this anti-ubisoft talk? I haven't had too bad experiences with them, please enlighten me..
I'll try to keep it short
  • messing up previous sim releases (e.g. Lock On)
  • failing to provide substantial marketing for lower profile games
  • restrictive always-online DRM
  • poor support ("please file a ticket")
  • the NG fiasco with Pacific Fighters
  • staggered releases over several weeks
  • generally treating their customers like idiots

Now to be fair they aren't the only big publisher with such issues, but as long as they include their current DRM it's a no-go for me (in case of SoW - or CoD or whatever we'll end up calling it - I'm actually quite confident it won't be included; at any rate there should be a 1C version available). And if people call me a "whiner" for that, then so be it; I won't turn this into a DRM thread (we all know how that usually ends).

Sjajno. Ovo će vjerojatno završit na PM ali svejedno - kad si sl. put u HR bumo na neku pivu otišli.

Tree got banned as his input was no longer needed, we all know how he would respond and it was felt that his time could be best spent doing something more constructive than regurgitating the same whines over and over again
