B6 can't said to me if the BoM will be an expansion of the CloD or an MMO .... that´s my greatest fear

Hi all,

If CoD was 100% perfect, it would be 99% better than anything else out there.

Support the future

If the future is releasing half baked, non-functioning alphas and then moving on to sequels before the original release is at least 3/4s baked, then you can count me out. (probably a lot of others as well)

COD wasn't released as an alpha, it worked for half the people but the devs wanted to fix it for the other half and ended up re writing the code and now it is an alpha.

There is no difference. It's alpha now with the new code, it was alpha at the release.

Otherwise this new version should run worser then the former one.

But it wasn't an alpha on release.....sure some people liked to call it an alpha.

why should it run worse? it's an alpha version of an improving graphics engine.

It depends on your definition of Alpha: to me, as developer, alpha stage is when the application is quite finished and you do internal testing to pinpoint plain and clear bugs.

The stutters were mostly raised by a wrong texture management... why didn't the developers look at that during the internal alpha stage? Wasn't stutters a evident issue?

Instead, Beta testers are usually external users to the developer office: this does not mean that they have to discover plain bugs, but the hidden ones.. the ones who appear in deteminated situations (for example an exception raised when 80 players are connecting to a single server... difficult to catch it during the internal testing)

I say it should be run worser now as it's a new engine, not a fix of the older one... and by "run" I mean the presence of bugs (because of the definition of alpha above)... Of course if you focus yourself on FPS it should run better than the old one...

I still think that the software has been thrown out of the office in a hurry, after not enough hours of alpha testing... can't know the reason of this.

Force10, with such a limited ability to see possibilities and so strong ties to the past you are already counted out.

I doubt the development will be in business long enough to complete any Sequel unless the developers fix the game engine. That said if things continue to go badly, the investors could again force the development to release what they have completed for the Sequel, and then quietly shut the development down to atleast get a small portion of their investment back. BUT I'm sure the investors are not stupid enough to think many people will buy blindly this time.

If they release the sequel in the state Il2 CloD is now I'll buy it. Just not untill it hit's the Steam bargain bin at $9.95. I'm enjoying it in it's current form but could do without the crashes, stutters and dismall SLI performance. Why do RoF and DCS run like greased lightning without stressing (one!)my gtx 680 and Clod struggles along while the GPU goes all out? Almost hoping they somehow merge and get all the talent onboard with RoF. RoF: WWII edition. Don't get me wrong, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed hoping that they eventualy get it fixed and continue the series. Just not holding my breath anymore.
