the failure of clod is a failure of US ALL

It is far less detailed than the Cliffs of Dover map. It's a stripped down version and also without London.

A poster on the RoF forum has commented that he trusts the RoF team to improve upon it with time and also iron out any bugs. There wasn't that kind of loyalty on this forum for Cliffs of Dover from many posters.

Why?

I resent staements like that..
The were plenty of us who put there trust in the 1c team and waited patiently for bugs to be ironed out.
The Finance was pulled because there was no faith in the ability of the team to fix it by the investors .

And investors would have seen this forum and seen only the moaning minority that have a large presence on this board and decided to pull the plug... simple fact.

Krupi, do you really believe that? i mean really?
You really think they pulled the plug on the sequel because of forum posts about COD?

They had a year to look at what Luthier had done for the sequel, all that work, all those models.
Do you think that if all that work and progress had been successful and it looked like the sequel was going to fix the problems, that 1C decided to ignore that and make the decision based on what a few people were posting about COD?

I cant honestly believe you really think that.

What has posts about COD got to do with a years work on the sequel?

Luthier had to meet the June milestone to show what they had done in that year....it wasn't enough.

Its that simple.

Yes I believe that it certainly factored into the equation that ultimately led to BoMs mothballing.

If it appears that a product doesn't have any support or audience then the shareholders will always go with the safer option.

They don't care about the product only about the money...

Its really that simple, CoDs failure will always be due to it being released in a mess but BoMs mothballing is due to a number of issues and one of them is the reaction of supposed "fans" of flight simulators... so yes its that simple.

Its THAT simple.

People were certainly vicious about the game and the Dev. Team but not without good reason. The game was dreadful when it was released and there was genuine disappointment in the community about a game we had been anticipating for years. I feel certain that with better communication with the community it may have been possible to turn thing around but of course that's easy to say in hindsight. Who knows what was really going on behind the scenes. What saddens me is the lost potential. The multiplayer side of the game is now highly functional and in my view maybe just two or three patches away from masterpiece status. If the game is to be left to die on the vine then that will be a very great shame and frankly, quite amazing.

refusing to do a 1944 plane set with p51 p47 and fw190 is just dumb, this plane set would have sold alot more copies and we all know this to be a fact!!!

I disagree. Nothing wrong with the BoB.
Besides, you do a 1944 sim you have a lot more planes/objects/maps to make. Way too much.

If they really wanted to have a hit, it would have been functional, and it would have been in North Africa.

You could not be more correct. The Battle of Britian has been done to death. To annoucne the next instatllment , essentially( BOM) BOB -East was equally as poor business decesion. The battle for Stalingrad does nothing for me either. Aparently I'm am in the majority. If there is any truth to Korea this would be infinately more interesting than any eatern front scenario.
