It's deceiving to say the least, don't you think? If I go to the Ubisoft website and browse through the games, it takes me to the official page, which just like the current status of the sim, is a farce.

But hey, we're sitting here patiently, we have for more than a year now..

I'm not disagreeing with you regarding minimum specs, Stern. I am saying that anyone with an ounce of common sense in this day and age has a multitude of ways to verify a purchasing decision before they plunk they're money down. I don't know of a single game that doesn't have it's forum. Google and BING can give copius amounts of links that detail the issues with any game/car/dentist/or hair dryer. While I understand and agree with the frustration regarding CoD, there has never been a time where a buyer has had more avenues open to them so they can avoid bad purchasing decisions.


The Russian release was March of last year. We all heard the ney sayers and disatisfied rightfully be upset. How many non Russian players found a way to DL the game? I bought the U.S. prerelease through GoGamer and got trapped in that "Code is already used - your installation is invalid" fiasco. So I eventually bought a second copy after not getting satisfaction through STEAM or GG. I KNEW the status of the game. At this point I don't think to many of us are getting hoodwinked. We may be eternal optomists getting our hopes dashed over and over again, but we did buy CoD knowing what we have.

My PC is a minimum spec machine. I can turn down the settings to what I consider quite ugly, and have some good battles with minimum issues.... but it looks horrible. I turn everything up as high as I can and use CoD for created missions and site seeing - ala MSFSX.


Caveat Emptor. At no time in history has this been easier to do.

Wouldn't the name iL2 be reason enough to go and buy?..

Would you not assume the game be of a certain standard or would you approach with caution as its a new game being released?

I know what one I would do and obviously what a lot of others done..

What your saying is right but not on a title that was released by the same company with all the years of support and enjoyment we had in a ww2 sim market

Interesting. So, you trusted them enough to buy it sight unseen, but now you don't trust them to fix it?

[Ze-Jamz]

Erm..where have I said I don't trust them to fix it?

You insinuating again Hayward

That sums up my situation pretty well. We all came off 1946 with warm fuzzies because they handled that series quite well. A lot of us bought this game out of good will, knowing that it was in a bad state but also knowing that the developers needed money to keep going, and expecting that it would be fixed in a reasonable time frame. That good will is rapidly dwindling if not already completely exhausted.

1C owes us a working game, and the longer they take to deliver, the more irate and pessimistic people are going to become.

Apparently your definition of "good will" is significantly different from mine.

In any case, if they don't get CoD fixed it's not going to matter to them how irate you are. They will be unemployed and will have more important problems to deal with.

How do you figure?

You gave them $50+/- out of good will. If they don't fix the game they're going to lose their jobs. Do you think they're really going to care if you're irate at that point?

I also gave them $50. If they don't fix the game I'll keep playing RoF. I won't be irate.

Oh my God such an tragedy.
In every other business on this planet people are fired for less than releasing a such a crap Game. So what?
They would really deserve it and i couldn't really care less about it!

And I'm sure they won't give a crap if you are angry about COD. Either they fix it and we're all happy, or they don't and they lose their jobs. The constant complaining from the likes of you will not change anything.
