Why is it the fanboys have to criticise anyone that has the audacity to say anything that isn't in agreement with them.
I think it will be good and i will buy it in time but i don't think it is too much to ask to be given more solid information regarding certain aspects which haven't been addressed.
If it can be answered ,then why haven't they? that alone makes people doubt.
Lets be honest it has been a shambles so far, Ubi being announced on the hoof as it was badly leaked and not really being a popular choice.
A change of title announced which went down like a lead balloon ,yes even on this forum,
A poor advertising video preview,hardly a positive start.They need to start putting something of substance together soon to put the doubts to bed and sell to people who are sitting on the sidelines.

It must suck to wake up in the morning and be you.

Such negativity and pessimism, over a freaking game.

It's like you lot of whiners have not even seen the screen shots, or read the things Oleg and Luthier have posted.

OMG!!! UBI is the publisher!!!!111!!!11one!!! I think I'll jump off a cliff in protest!!!!! Who did you really think it would be?

OMG!!!!! DRM!!! DRM!!!!!! DRM!!!!!! OH NOES!!!!!!!!

THE SCREENS LOOK NO BETTER THAN IL2!!!!!!!!! WHAT A CROCK!!!!!!!!!! You fanboys are blind!!!! CoW will suck!!!!!!!!!

You all need glasses I guess.

I sure don't get it.

I hear you...But...
We, fanboys, have been following CoD developpement from the very start. We have retained a lot of information. We have read every single thread. We have read every single Oleg's comment...And not only on this forum.
We have learned to "know" Oleg and how he works...5 years ago, Oleg wrote on this forum that he was willing to show us WIP, as long as it would not become a weapon for its competitors. And on the "Future of Sims", he also stated that if someone would come up with enough money, he would team up with them and add some secret ideas that he has. So there is a lot that we still dont know or haven't been shown only to preserve his "Oleg's way to do things"....The fanboys KNOW that, but not the casual member...So , we are telling you to stop complaining, or more gently said " worrying" about the fact that the game seems to be incomplete at this stage...And since its released in a couple of months, you think it is impossible to have a faboulously looking game...Oleg allways said: I will show things when I feel they are ready to be shown. Important features (read clouds) have to be tuned to 100% before going public...So have faith my friends !

Salute !

People draw comments for negative statements that infer things like "we haven't seen the new clouds so there probably aren't any". So people remind him that they are still debugging them.

You infer that we're going to have to wait until the game is released to see what we're buying. I say they are still working on the final build, and we will probably see a few more complete screenshots and videos in March when the gold copy is off for pressing.

You prefer to be negative, others prefer to be positive, because they know the developers history of supporting his product. Untempered negativity only serves to drive away potential consumers of our genre. We only have one WW2 combat flight sim developer willing to stand by his product for years, so I would prefer to help him than drive him out of business.

Oleg do you know what type of admin tool we will have in IL_2 COD ?
for the admin's online game play.

[Coen020]

geez people, chill out

even if Cod has some imperfections there is something called a patch which fixes a game and brings it to a new version which people can download.

And i/you/everyone can garantee that there will be patches, not one game ever created was perfect.

And even if all the imagined "faults" were real, it still would be the best ww2 combat simulation ever seen!!!
The whining happens at a niveau no other sim has reached so far.

Without doubt it will be the best ww2 flight sim, to date Il2 still is. I think people's expectations were raised to high by some of the early interviews that Oleg did, a lot was promised, and many expected the terrain, trees etc to look as good as the 3d models which look stunning. However we still haven't seen any finished 'in game' shots in high res with DX11, whilst this might be done for a reason many including myself begin to wonder why, add this to the fact that luthier as already stated that alot of features have been pulled from the intial release then its fair to say that some spirits may have been dampened slightly after waiting so long for our 'cinematic' flight sim. But you are right it will be the best there is, but probably not as good as we hoped it would be.
