the failure of clod is a failure of US ALL

Tell that to 1C Frey, they pulled the plug, after a year of work on the sequel.
COD just didn't sell enough, most players are offline and stock COD offline is dire.

Was there a hate campaign in every country COD was released?


This is moot anyway, like flogging a dead horse, quite literally.

Yet you and Tree are still here flogging away, why?

I've started using CoD, seeing that it's not going to be (officially) improved/modded, and do you know what? .... I THINK IT'S GREAT!!
For so long, I kept it "on the shelf", because of:
- it's initial performance problems; and
- the massive amount of negativity that abounded on forums, such as this one.
I'm annoyed with myself for having been so misled about it!
Perhaps it was only CoD's last patch that got it right ... I don't know!
All I can say is that I'm now enjoying CoD very much!

A massively common story, as I can tell from the reactions I get from my movies. Anyway, this is my last post in this thread. It is impossible to get the last word against the hater brigade, especially their most stalwart members, so I'll leave it at this...

The real true is that CloD is dead, it was dead since before release, after years of development, my squads mates always said 1 year before release, that the game will fail due to the lack of video preview we recived, i always said that the game will be great, i was soooooo wrong, when i launch it first time after a month of pre order waiting (unfixable mistake) and after reading the first russians reviews i said this team will fix it son, everybody was told that the problem was the E-filter, and we all bought that, the first MG first big lie, were thos video with out sound, as those were made with the avi recording feature that record frame by frame an looks like the game runs perfectly, once i realized that i lost all hope on this game, when they start to turn off features in every patch, it was more obvious, all knows what every patch fix and broke more than fix, so now looking backwards you can esealy see that the sequel was a simply face cover to the real true, the game was already dead and the move to join forces with 777 studios was on the way (in my opinion that should be the great june anounce), after 7 years of development and a year in intensive cares the patient just stop breathing.

Now after see what i seen what 777 studios did with RoF, have complete confidence on that team well organized, and with good and kind comunication with the community i see we will get a great product
forums didn't kill this game, Oleg and co bad managment did it during development and before release.

In aviation terms: They tried to build an Airbus A380XXL with the team and resources of the Wright-Brothers.

And I'm honest: I'm glad it's over.
777 will make a fresh start and hopefully with one step at a time, rather than reinventing everything.


So, is it our fault?
No. Be it supporters like myself (at least in the beginning) or constant complainers. We all came here for the same hopes and reasons. Just with different ways to express our feelings. But you can't make a brick fly - no matter how loud or sweet you talk to it.

If you read Loft's posts on the new forum, you will know what's comming. Loft posted very early on about the lack of interest in accurate and advanced combat flight sim and praised those new arcade flying games made recently with the pay for every gauge and bolt bussines model.
The new game will be a far cry from anything we, il-2 players, take for granted. Online will suck due to limitations of the engine and fragmented community because of a lot of payware.
If you think BOS will follow on Il-2's foot steps you will be in for a surprise.

Well said, could not agree more, I feel much better 777 has the project, as I have seen what they CAN do and not what they endlessly PROMISE to do. May not be all the bells and whistles of Clod as planned, but in the long run, if it it does not work well, any game, its not gonna fly off the shelf, no pun intended.

The needs of the many were undermined by the ability of the few.

Many suggestions and bugs were completely ignored by the team as they tried to make us believe they were fixing (read as removing) features. The writing was on the wall, sadly some were illiterate.

Glad to see though that work continues in fixing Clod, shame it's through unofficial routes.

Time will show though that enthusiasts will resurrect and bring back to life a much less buggy CloD.

Good times are coming
