Ouch! ouch! ouch! This REALLY spoils my party a bit. Being mainly an offliner this is not good news. Don't get me wrong, a good scripted campaign is really appreciated but no squad mates/management etc. It all goes out the door. Guess that the "constant multiplayer" thingie might be what holds this together otherwise I'm actually inclined to wait for an update/add-on dynamic campaign before I buy this game. Never thought I would say it. Ever!

Really holding my thumbs for the multiplayer component now otherwise this might be a VERY hollow release. Also never thought I would be a whiner but there you go.

*The glass is half-full! the glass is half-full! happy thoughts!*

No I think it was implemented when Forgotten Battles arrived.

Stock Il2 just had scripted campaigns.

That's correct. I just had high hopes that the "game element" of CoD would be better than the previous titles. I know of course that Luthier and Co will stun us with a superbly scripted campaign with some new elements incorporated but still....it bugs me.

I wish there would be some kind of happy medium where dynamic and scripted would blended together and offer the best of two worlds. For example, everything is played out historically day by day BUT you have control over your squadron, loadouts, type of mission to be conducted and maybe some superficial management overall. Maybe one day...

That's what I thought as well but then I thought "this game has been in development for a long time and there are no dynamic campaign at release".

That MIGHT mean:

1. They haven't even started work on one.
2. If they will release a dynamic campaign in an update, it might not be much to write home about since it's not something you do over a short period of time.
3. This time they have put A LOT of emphasise on the multiplayer.

As long as one of the components kicks *ss, I'm on!

I am so afraid this is the case. If so, I don´t think that we can expect a decent (not to mention good) dynamic campaing anytime soon.

It´s a pity because IMHO dynamic campaings, in wich flying is just a part of managing the air battle (resources, supplies,etc), take the game to a higher dimension.

Other tan that, CoD looks great and I am sure we all will have a lot of fun with it.
