I don't see 1C in this list

With CloD Maddox Games (and therefor 1C) has wasted most if not all of the goodwill of the community and really needs to put flesh to the bones with the successive releases. As such any release needs to be both technically mature and interesting gameplay-wise (and I am not talking about Spitgirl-solutions here!) - especially so if a MMO service is being planned. Paying a monthly fee for mere gangbanging (which is so pre-dominant online) or a pay-to-win kind of system á la World of Tanks is not going to be the big hit 1C must be hoping for. Whatever is planned - it must be a sound concept in all the relevant areas.

Gameplay will be the deciding factor here and - pardon the frank speech - Maddox Games has totally failed in that area, since Il-2 version 1.0 was released.

I hope what my bosses have thought about it very much)

An MMO???

Looks like this game is going in the bin then. lol I'll look back on it fondly just as I do on my Warhammer Online account, my EVE account...etc....etc.... Just as I look back on, and get all dewy eyed when I think about, that time I had any faith in this company.

Thanks for the update though, Blacksix, even if the info you are given to share with us is beginning to leave a seriously bad taste in my mouth. Not your fault, mate.

I hope this is some sort of sick joke. If this proposed MMO is the basis for the upcoming sequels to IL2COD etc., then that's all she wrote. There's no way I'm playing a flight sim MMO where the company controls the servers, missions, players etc etc etc. This is the worst possible thing that could ever happen (if this is tied to the same series we have right now).

I hope B6 can chime in and say this is a completely different standalone game that has nothing to do with the SOW/BOB/CLOD series other than sharing the broken game engine.

Looks like all the hardcore WWII guys will be stuck with 1946. That business model sold 1,000,000's of copies. Heck, just refresh the graphics in 46 and everyone would buy it all again. Leave it in open GL or w/e. But MMO = no way from me.

Have to agree, no thanks...

Terrible idea, unless they intend on making it a complete ww2 game like ww2online.

Would be nice for the best of two worlds. I too am hoping for two separate stand alone's as the optimum. I was hoping Clod would visit other theaters after BOM...not much to add till the details emerge I guess.
