Oh, just two of them... Nah, dynamic campaigns just don't feel right when it comes to immersion, a good static campaign can at least tell an interesting story.

Wow you just described the life of a average fighter pilot, a lot of pilots rarely saw enemy aircraft. Do you really think every pilot shot down a plane? In certain periods those pilots were the exceptions. A lot of pilots in a lot of theaters never laid eyes on a enemy plane let alone shot one down. I don't care for YET ANOTHER overly dramatic campaign, I've had my fill of those from every single FPS in the last 5 years. O god YET again the player is the person who shoots the evil dictator but wait there is a .... wait for it ... PLOT TWIST. Makes me want to puke.

Sure recent flight sims have ditched dynamic campaigns and they have suffered for it. Take the DCS series who haven't included one as of yet. Take a look at the official forum and you will see a lot of people wanting a DC. The DCS static scripted campaigns is just sad and has no replay value, results from one mission aren't even carried over to the next. I bought DCS A-10C Warthog because I thought it might be fun but the campaigns were so completely boring when used to Falcon 4 I doubt I will ever buy another DCS module again unless Eagle Dynamic or a third party develop a dynamic campaign.

Doubting wether I am going to buy COD on the day of release now, I've spent enough money on flightsims with horrible gameplay elements like campaigns. I'll read some reviews and see what they say, if it's DCS level suckyness I'll wait till it's in the bargain bin.
