Is CoD worth getting?

Online is very limited at this time with only a few servers and limited gameplay. COOPs are badly needed to get more action and sqds involved.

Were waiting for a patch that will hopefully improve the more important aspects of CLOD, FPS, FM, AI and the rest.

Like some have said if your interested in flight sims and have a beefy system then for 10 quid you cant go wrong.

Thanks for putting it in a nutshell!

You can get it for so cheap right now that it almost doesn't matter if it's good or bad, just buy it!

Well, if it costs at max. 10% of your hardware (probably only 3% to 5%) and gives you 10 hours entertainment you are in the positive zone, imo, any additional hour of entertainment out of this is pure gain.

Plus, you are supporting the still uncertain future of wwii-cfs.

Yes, old games are also for $50 on steam. You can buy it for 15$ where I live.

I bought the collectors edition for £14.99 on Ubi website.

I think you will be glad you did. I had a lot of fun with IL2 1946, and put off buying CloD until couple of weeks ago - just have started getting into it but so far no regrets at all...

Hi Everyone,

I'm a new member with a few questions.
I already posted this in another thread (See here) so, sorry for the double post.

In hindsight this is a much better thread for my initial questions.

I've joined today, to hopefully receive an intelligent response to my question. This thread seems the most apt place to post it.

I like to err on the side of caution when it comes to certain purchases. The purchase of CoD is one of those times.

From what I've read: there is no disputing some of the issues this game has suffered, I however firmly believe that no game is without bugs. The end user is the best quality assurance any developer could ask for. It's unfortunate, but it's also reality.
The GFX look nice, but I would rather it ran smooth with decent frames, than have all the glorious eye candy in slideshow mode.

If the trade off is turning down options to gain fps elsewhere, then I can live with that. (That's what modern game tweaking is about anyhoo)

I don't feel the need to post my system specs, lets just say my PC won't be an issue.

OK, my questions.

In it's current state (today) how is its performance?
Does it run well?
Does it still suffer from awful FPS I have seen stated so often in these forums?
or on a high end rig is this now negligible?
Does it prefer Nvidia cards, AMD or no preference?
Should I just wait until the update mentioned in this thread, and ask again?

Thanks in advance to all intelligent responses.
Hippy

I have seen similar responses to other questions posted, but I would like to invite you all to respond to mine also.

The above-mentioned thankyou still stands.

Cheers,
Hippy.

I would say resounding YES, It has its issues but it will be a shining GEM one day, and if you can get it at reduced price then HEck yes. But be prepared for launcher crashes at the worst time. doesnt happen everytime, but its enough to get your goat after a long flight.
