And the team is working more on the next product.

Again this is pure speculation on my part, but its how it looks to me.

Doubt it, purely because unless Clod gets fixed, people will simply not buy the next product.
Once bitten, twice shy and all that.

It says COOP on the box, you can look on your very nice collectors edition box. but you cant play COOPs on the battle of Britain map.

Servers keep dropping from steam after a hour or so but the main bug is the very well known no sound bug. Do you expect people to play without sound?
Would you agree that its a game breaking bug to not have any sound?

so i decided to practice offline but what i found was the AI is worse than IL2, what with AI that can perform like F-16s, but cant hit you if make even the slightest turn(they still cant fire defection), plus it seems that after about 5 mins somebody rings a bell and the AI give up and fly home in perfect formation which allows you to shoot down the whole lot.

So then you fly home, and find as you touch down, your whole flight piles into ground next to you.

So whats left? oh yes, i can go sight seeing. :rolleyes:

Now hear this Carguy, i don't know why you seem to think your the internet police here but people can post what they like within reason. its not up to you to tell me what i can or cant post.
i don't care if someone posts how much they like COD, im happy for them, great!.
i don't give a "boob" what you say and nothing you do is going to stop me moaning about the "boob" state COD is in....so do us both a favor, put me on ignore.

Forget the fanboy,you are right...100%.

Judging byt the number of votes and results i think they speak for themselves..

More communication is wanted by the masses, forget all the other tripe this thread has turned into..

It REALLY doesnt help that the devs make false promises too like appointing someone to update the community which obviously didnt take place, it still might do but i would of thought that being updated BEFORE the US would of been better for marketing purposes and sales..maybe im wrong

whatever the state of this game, whatever the outcome small updates every week would make a MASSIVE difference, i say 'updates' not necessarily 'progress' so there is no excuse as to why they choose to ignore this..It would cut half the rubbish out that we see in these forums im sure, it would also put alot of peoples minds to rests because wether we admitt it or not ALL of us have concerns or questions on one or more aspects of this game and more importantly being updated and having that connection with your fanbase/paying public works wonders with promotion and product sales..

So to keep On track with this thread...Why they choose not to communicate more at this stage is just confusing...do they have to? NO should they? I think so

Ok then let's say it like this...
If they would of told me beforhand that the to be released game was unfinished but
they needed the money to finish the game and keep the legal guys from Ubisoft of their backs... then I would indeed honor such honesty with paying for the game so they would have a chance of finishing it.

We all know they decided not to do that.
Nobody here knew COD was in such a poor product before it was released not even the most loyal fanboys.
Ubisoft knew, 1C knew ..Oleg knew and decided to head for the hills.... digg a foxhole and await the barrage of complaints.
If only they would of told US the customers ...explained the situation and asked us to help them out.... this would be lot different.
so yeah communication was and still is very poor.

Seeing as Luthier himself posted not so long ago saying how he "feels the weight of his failure" to maintain proper communications with the community, any argument to the contrary is quite useless.

Yes I agree, unfortunately Luthier words come very cheap these days, what he says and what he does are very seperate things.

Well my fanboyism (is that a word) is starting to wear thin, havent been able to play for a while as firstly they messed up the pp on the 109 and now the sounds drop out, a month ago I would have voted "i would like to get a update more often but im not worried"
But now I am voting
"The communication has been poor and not what i would expect, not very happy."

With the supposed release to the US today the silence on all forums is deafening, for the small amount of time it would take to let customers know what is happening, they could win a few sales, they have really dropped the ball on this.

The stuff going on in these forums says alot to me.

all of us would rather be flying.

lets hope the US release is a watershed moment and from here things change.

They really do need to.

Maybe the US release is not seen as important. Is 1c expecting a lot of sales there?
Total lack of any sort of announcement is very strange, so maybe it is delayed.
Would be nice if it were released today, as I hope for a huge patch to be released at the same time.

Well, at the risk of being shot down... I am currently downloading the US release through Ubisoft and using the same activation code to download through Steam, also..

Just thought someone might be interested is all... don't sho;)t the messenger...
Thanks
