COD highlights the one biggest flaw with PC gaming. A console developer never would've been able to release a product in the state we received this.Its sad but if you love PC gaming this kind of thing is just a fact of life.

Please answer this question - What on earth are you going to do if you release a patch crammed full of so called fixes and it creates other bugs like most of the other patches you released? Remember you have been using use as beta testers because you don't seem to have had the time to test these things yourselves. Can I suggest that maybe you get the rest of the team together this time round and test the patch yourselves before you release it to use? I mean, it cannot be a beta patch if it's the last patch for COD.

I am gob smacked. We paid to alpha test your game and we have to pay again for the next update! Omg. You won't mug me off again. Good luck with it. Your gona need it. You have now killed, totally killed your customer base. I will now be demanding my money back.

What I am curious about , he stated after the next milestone(sequel) is submitted and accepted, then they would come back to finish the patch for CLOD.
I wonder how long we are talking here?

I really do not understand how this project is managed : as it is confessed, few of them were working on Cliffs last months but till the last beta patch they regain some customers who would certainly jump in buying the sequel if.... they do not hear : "Sorry guys, we messed the job... ahem... please do not forget to buy the sequel in two or three years..." but "Sorry, we messed the job but we do not let you down, we keep one or two devs on part time work to fix the most crying bugs till the sequel is out".
Incredible to give up that after 18 months of investment and it is starting to pay NOW !
Hope you get the feeling, english is not my natural language.

we are called Beta testers, your a customer if you purchase the mythical sequel. I move to rename Cliffs of Dover, the new Forgotten Battle.

What on earth are you on about? If it's the last patch for COD how can it be a beta? It has to be the last official patch for COD alone.
