From what I have read I did not get the impression that there would be two stand alone games.. CoD and the Sequal.. that will be able to interact with each other.. For example, be able to join an online game using either one of the two.. Or that the sequal would be an addon to CoD.

Actully that is the impression I got.. based off what was said and the 1C IL-2 track record.. Where each sequal basically replaces the previous version.. That is to say you could still play CoD with other CoD players, must like some people still play IL-2 PF.. Just most made the move to the new version (aka sequal)

That is the impression I got, and I hope that is what they do! Seems most likly based on the 1C IL-2 track record

S! to Grunch for clearing up the thread.

My thoughts:
If you happen to know what SEOW coop is, then you know that the old Il-2 style coop MP GUI is a must.

If you don't know, I really recommend you look it up and get yourself or your squad into one. It's the closest you can get in feeling that you are a part of a really huge battle, where the air combat is just to support the land battle below. (Not meaning to belittle the air war of course )

The point:
Having 60+ players joining the server, getting squads briefed, selecting the correct planes can easily take an hour. Even with this GUI, there is lot's of logistics beyond that to get everyone on the server on time, with correct game version etc. If there was no coop GUI, I say the SEOW system just wouldn't be there. The coop GUI allows the organization of large amount of people to start a time critical mission at the same time.

And as said by others, it is also essential tool in squad training sessions for mentioned reasons.

almost every online war in IL2 times was based on the COOP, so.......

You all should realize that coop is history, gone, not there anymore.

Now we have MP, which includes everything that there was in the old "dogfight" and "coop" modes and more.

coop with its limitations because of the old il2 engine dies with the old il2.

SEOW with its limitations because of the old il2 engine dies with the old il2.

There can be something like that (coop and seow) for CoD, but that has to be developed with the limitations and possibilities of CoD in mind.

For that, new gui's are needed which reflect the possibilities of CoD.

Don't carry old limitations and denominations in the future where they have no sense.

Lmao WTH robtek some "dogfights" in il2 had objectives so there is no difference between 1946 multiplayer and cliffs.
