Go back a few years in posts and I think you'll find the atmosphere and tone on these forums to be markedly different. I used to be a fervent defender of this project. I also suggest that you have a look at some of the update posts. There are lots and lots of people saying their thank-yous to the developers, myself included. More than once I've tried to get the developers on board with the idea that if they would just be open with us, things would be better. "Hey guys, we think we fixed A B and C but we're having a problem with X, Y, and Z. Still working hard on it, sit tight." Three sentences once a week could have saved MG all kinds of headaches.

Patently false and you know it.

Ok so I am new to COD having just purchased and just started really reading up on these forums as it has been a while.
I am curious:
So what is Oleg doing these days - just finding out by catching up that he has left this series.
What/who is MG?

Just trying to get caught up.

Thanks,

There's some debate as to why he left - if he quit or if he was fired, etc. All that is known is that he is now the Chief Technical Officer of a company called Vizerra. http://vizerra.com/en/about/team

What/who is MG?

Maddox Games

Just trying to get caught up.

Np.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! Interesting, so it is still Maddox Games developing the progrem than - that I presume would be Oleg's company?

Maddox Games is the name of the development studio who created the original IL2. When Oleg left the company they retained the name "Maddox Games".

As far as I can tell, Oleg has no involvement with Cliffs of Dover.

Ok thanks for clarifying that for me.
I think I am up to speed now...
