On the up side.. There is a benefit for pay-to-play! It has this filtering effect of keeping the kids out! Which IMHO is a good thing IMHO!

If its done right, and they focus on Simulation it could be pretty good, and they have a steady income to continue to improve and develop. Playing devils advocate here though, they would have to change how they communicated with the community, and patches/fixes/updates would have to come at a steady pace if I am to shell out ANY money on a regular basis... that said, for what COD could be, the glimmer of awesome I see in it... it could be great...

Now if they could do MMO with the ability to allow the Mod community to continue to add to it... well that would be legend.... wait for it... dary....

If they are trying to reach a broader audience than the hardcore IL-2 crowd, usually that means dumbing things down. The words most simmers hate to hear from a developer prior to release is "more accessible". I have a feeling they will probably do just that after looking at the number of the hardcore crowd flying COD. The partial good news is they probably will make getting the COD engine stable at a quicker pace. The bad news is they will more than likely backburner fixing stuff like AI, radio commands, etc. that offline folks have been waiting for IMO.

They better not dumb things down. The only dumbing down that better happen is allowing these players to drive little yellow short busses around on the map while we strafe and bomb them.
