Sorry but I must take issue with this statement. The game hasn't failed at all....it runs very well on my fairly low spec machine - XP, 2GB, GeForce GTS 250 - on lowish settings admittedly, but I'm realistic about what old hardware can handle. I do plan to upgrade when finances allow.
The game does suffer from crashes - which should be addressed by the new graphics engine release I remember reading. In the mean time I'm getting a great deal of enjoyment out of it as are many others.
As for your statement "CoD will just be a distant fart in the past. This game is getting no more planes, zip, nada." that's wrong too. Look at the way each sequel in the IL2 series added new content and aircraft. That content can immediately be used in CoD (with new skins etc), as can all the extra features being planned for the sequel.
With the sequel CoD will be reborn - in a more stable, fully featured state. Like a new product really. That's something I look forward to very much. Then of course we'll have all the extra content added by 3rd parties once the SDK is released.
CoD is far from dead and abandoned so please don't keep promoting that myth. It really does nobody any good. The future looks very bright in my eyes. The Devs have made some mistakes and were pushed into a very difficult corner last year. However, they have proved to me that they love this product and have the dedication and hard work to make it work - if we allow them.
All will be good if we can just be patient and have a little faith.
