COD1 if my memory serves me right (I'm not too well up on arcade shooters) was released in 2004, before the next gen consoles even.
1946 landed in a time when the 360 had been out more than a year & it shone as brightly as the titles of the time.

Compare a combat flight sim with over 250 flyable, cockpit-given aircraft, unrivalled realism to flight models & characteristics, loads of lengthy campaigns & missions, a simply-to-use mission editor, allowing the player to create every imagineable scenario with ease & confidence, total camera control & fully functioning replays & on ...& on.....

COD1. A great 1st person shooter that ... well, lets you shoot the opposition & perform irish 'river dances' as the player weaves & dances his way round thousands of grenades. (Thank the lord for Op. Flashpoint 1).

I don't get phased by name calling & so there's no tunnel vision here. The fact remains that the games industry is going backwards in immersion & content for a higher price & that's why I can readily & openly compare the nowaday price of a 3 year old PC release to a pathetic DLC. Hey sure it's on the PC too. Rise of Flight (latest WWI air combat sim) has all aircraft in the title but half of them are locked down to the user until he or she foots the bill each time.

How come you're still on this forum, instead of on the 1946 forum actually making a point or something? I mean, sure, hate the game, whatever, but why bother us with it?
