I too shelved the game but the thing thats frustrating is that they have basically dropped it, without finishing it. Thats what has annoyed a lot of people.
Oh and dont forget that £40 may not be a lot to you but it is to others.

That wasn't specifically aimed at you, but when reading some of the "rather negative" () posts I do get the impression of little kids who didn't get their candy and are now constantly yammering "Where's my candy?". It's nothing personal and I can understand the disappointment, but I can't see the reason for degenerating into pre-puberty behavior when it comes to the state of CloD, the kind of news or the lack of it. Maybe it is a character thing ...

Dropped it? Nope. Not true.

Simply put I shelved the game for the time being and don't expect any "enjoyment" for the forseeable future. I have other hobbies I can waste my freetime on and I don't really understand where the need to throw a tantrum on what is essentially a 50€ piece of software.

I have done the exact same thing and I agree completely. Crap! I couldn't resist commenting, oh well this will be the last one.

Is the I16 going to have a painted gunsight rather than a Gyro reflector gunsight?

It would be nice to see those kinds of attention to detail.

I also have read russian radios were very poor and often removed to save weight as they were genrally useless.

AWESOME that Rata! Good to see that the project is growing and under constant improvement!

Most of us feel we actually got a bit less than we paid for (this happens all the time), but only a very small minority wan't to punish 1C for the rest of their lives, Bewolf was spot-on with 'entitlement junkies'.

Thousands? I doubt it, secret agenda? more like it but the secret part isn't so secret, it's clear they wan't COD and probably 1C to fail, why? god only knows.

The only entitlement people want is for the game to work correctly. And it is due to them because they bought the game in good faith with money they worked for. What part of this don't you understand?

Pretty stupid thing to say. I have bought everything Oleg has come out with, and wound up satisfied because he released necessary patches. I hope CoD will wind up the same.

What part of the various references to the ongoing work to fix the game don't you understand?

All the stupid things being said are by the ones claiming work has been 'basically' dropped on COD.

Just come back to the forums to check in what I had purchased back at release only to find an update on pics for something that appears non-clod related. I'd purchased the box set aswell a digital copy in the hope of LAN use & it is still near completely unplayable in Single player. (And as for LAN, it has never once worked for us).
So ..... Am I to believe that my patient waiting was in vain? Has CloD & it's plans of new ideas & rectifications been shelved?

People complain about lack of communication. But really, I think we should be thankful that the devs EVEN TRY TO COMMUNICATE WITH US AT ALL considering all the mud slinging/whining/ungratefulness/flaming ect. that is directed at them CONSTANTLY when they're clearly working very hard for the series. Maybe if we were more respectful, they would WANT to talk with us and keep us updated.



Also, people who talk like:
"This sim is broked it will never be fixed!!!!11! WWaaww waaww. I'll never buy the sequelz!!!11! NevER!!!1 I'm so pissed!"

You CAN leave you know, you don't HAVE to buy the sequel.
If you're so mad then why are you still here?
Its people like you are ruining this forum and the Friday Updates for everybody else.

EDIT: Thanks for the update!
