OT. RoF Campaign.

[csThor]

Wrong, Veltro - RoF took two years after release to get to this point. Their start was just as rough ...

[150GCT_Veltro]

Yes, and CloD took 7 years before release.

[csThor]

And how long did it take RoF to be released? Didn't they start over during development once, too? I vividly remember the acid comments on the state of RoF at release, they were essentially the same as those about CloD now ... Quite the double standards, or is it selective memory?

I am not defending the state of CloD, mind you. I haven't spent any serious time in it. The historical setting doesn't really interest me, there's no single-player gameplay to speak of and there are issues wherever one looks. It's just that RoF was exactly the same when it came out. Don't forget that.

No, it isn't.
RoF was realeased with few stuff but with a solid engine. CloD is broken all around.

We'll see in the next two years, because two years are needed.

I vividly remember a lot of gripes about unacceptable framerates, stability problems and a generally rough running of the game but then this discussion is somewhat academic. Let's end it here, shall we?

Nobody is saying it was plain sailing Thor, far from it. There were CTD problems for some users too but not to the extent of.....Nah, Nevermind. I'm going to heed your wise advice and stop, because there is no real point. I support both sims and wish them well.

Had to have my little rant though, feel better now.

Cheers.

ROF can be downloaded, But as far as I could see you'll need to buy one of the appropriate aircaft to fly the new career modes.

If you can use this mode with the default plane set please tell me how.

ROF was unflyable on my machine when it first came out. I needed to upgrade to a quad core and modern graphics to make it fly at a reasonable frame rate. But if your into WWI aircaft it's as good as it gets at the moment!

Cheers

BTW out of curiosity - is the new campaign mode still linked to their "online for offline" anti-piracy scheme?

Maybe, but for me this is has not been pure "academic".

However, we'll see...... I'm still waiting for CloD like you, even if i totally dislike the landscape (horrible fo rmy opinion), so i seriously doubt i will never like this BoB.

Game, set, match.

Sorry chaps, but I was one of the first people in Europe to play ROF in the summer of 2009 (having it imported from the States) and I guarantee you it was nowhere near as bad as the calamitous CoD release. FACT.

Blackdogs points are largely true, the main problem being lack of content. The circumstances of release were seemingly quite similar in that they had to release as an economic imperative....IE it comes out now, or never.

But by and large, things actually worked. Frame rates were excellent on recommended specs, it was fully and well optimised for quad core rigs. Ridiculous promises were never made as to content, and customers were never led a merry dance up the garden path. That is the salient difference.

I remain hopeful CoD will be fixed, but the fact is that the majority of people don't like being taken for Mugs, and sadly that is what has occurred. Penny for your thoughts Mr Maddox?

Oh, hes done a runner. Can't say I blame him. I would probably be too embarrassed to show up too. 'Photo realistic terrain, be sure'. LMAO. Instead we get 'Adventures in LSD Tele-tubbie land'. (I'll probably get ban hammered for that lol....but its true and the Truth has many Martyrs .)

That said, I've had some fun with CoD.....some jaw droppingly good moments but not enough to sustain interest at all at present. Very poor show.

Get well soon, CoD. I'll send you some grapes.
