That just wouldn't make sence. The engine will be the same in the sequel so implementing it in CloD is just whats right, and it has to be. surely, some things will probably only make it into the sequel, but the performance patches have to be applied to CloD, in order to get things right for the sequel and to raise the community for buying BoM.

Yes, but what I'm saying is that we will likely not see any further changes to CLOD perse, until BOM is released.

No ETA of patch.

Some info. I liked the one about more FPS.

But we all know that. The real update will have patch ETA ou patch relase itself.

Until then, not very usefull or promising, sorry to say.

Still waiting. When the pacth is out, i believe that NOW we will have some MAJOR performance gain. I have faith in this team.

First, thanx for the update.
Second, confidence is not restored at all as we got lots of "eye-candy" vidéos one year ago incitating to buy a broken game.
Third, sooner the patch is out and efficient, sooner i will trust you again.

That is contrary to all information we have received. In this update he even said it is almost ready. I dont think BoM is almost ready.

It makes no sense financially either. Who would buy a sequel to a game that hasnt been supported? Not many here- so they will patch CoD then release BoM when it is ready and people are happier with CoD.

This is the sort of information that we should get to keep things with the support base up to date. As I have said before, sometimes news that is not what we all want to hear better than no news at all. I am quite happy to see the expansion packs bring in more planes and theatres of operation so long as patches to fix the original release are done before any expansion. This is definitely going to go the way of the old Il2 series with improvments and extras being brought into BoM,Med,Pac etc. just as in Il2,AEP,Pac, and 1946 series. The only thing that would hold me back from buying the expansions would be uncertainty with performance if CoD isn't fixed before.
