b6 came very quick to say Battle of Stalingrad story was fake.

Lets wait for Luthier's Q&A that should answer a few questions, he will back online last Friday night.

lol! I guess he doesn't realize his credibility takes a hit when he says he will do something....and doesn't show or take 60 seconds out of his day to say why he won't make good on it.

Hello Tree.....youre like a dog with a new chew toy with that one, we get it now....Luthier let you down again.

He may have just been passing, B6 doesn't seem to have a regular schedule here.

anyway, just reading the opening lines 'I got a PM yesterday from a person I now consider to have inside knowledge of the project' is enough to reassure me it's fake.

Like i say Bongo, i hope your right on this one.

Yes, though I guess the pain lessens when there's no foot left to shoot, and no leg left to stand on.

The sad thing is it is interchangeable...whether it is the game itself...the release schedule...the patch schedule...the lines of communication...the Readme for a beta patch...or answering questions...big or small...doesn't matter....there is no distinction....each as carefully plotted a fiasco as it is humanly possible to see.

Not just a car-crash....one of those cars-down-ramps-with-crash-test-dummies-into-a-wall filmed at several thousand frames a second.....the abstractions of collision and recoil. The weird beauty in the thing.

I'm calling hooey on this one too.

From the website whose only track record was printing the last fake, which incidentally was MUCH more believable than this - "I got a PM yesterday from a person I now consider to have inside knowledge of the project". Yeah, right. :rolleyes: Did he provide your last scoop as well?

Maybe it's a cunning piece of psychological propaganda designed to make Luthier hurry up with those damned answers?!

On the other hand I've been wrong before ;)

Would not surprise me if it is real. Wont put it past CLoD.

Makes more sense from a business standpoint. Look at all the PC games now that are MMO style. Seriously, take a quick glance at Steam.

It seems the IL2 series is suffering a slow death either way it goes.

Whether it is fake or not doesn't really matter (it probably is)...it's the fact it could be true, given the lack of clear information and time-lines.

Nothing can be ruled-out where this dev house is concerned, and equally, not much can be ruled-in.

It just illustrates the general air of befuddlement.

Where's another one of Luthier's 'omnirambles' when you need one? :)
