20 days where are the videos?

I love IL2 and I'll love COD but this really is the crappiest attempt at marketing I've ever seen. Half the folks out there can't buy the collectors edition and those that could seem to have had their orders cancelled. People are starting to discuss where to source the map and manual contained in the product themselves. Many people are confusing the product with a ground based shoot em up. Others think it's just an add on for IL2. Some of the articles I've read don't even mention the ground breaking new features and the fact that it's a new product from the ground up. Unbelievable.

I'm only frustrated by what I see because I care about this product and want to see 1C succeed.

Well we cant just blame Ubisoft, there is a forum here for Oleg to show us some video, but so far he has chosen not to use it, he also promised SimHQ an interview but 3 weeks from release we have had nothing.

Videos will be shown when they are made with the "gold" - version, i assume.
By the way, i believe that all readers here will buy CoD, with or without official videos shown, as we are already junkies, needing our next screenshot or inside-info.

Yes, but we will need more newcomers to ensure this project continues in the future! I hope that we will get some tomorrow, also for my own pleasure, but most of all for the reason in my first sentence.

I've been training in my Spitfire made by A2A simulations in antisipation of the release. I'm really hoping to see some in game video tomorrow. That leaked video was fantastic. IMHO, they've got nothing to hide!

Yes we can, they can force Oleg to stop showing off videos, it wouldn't be the first time a publisher has done this to generate a "media blowout" and hype for a game.

Don't watch video's , just get the game when it comes out. be surprised. Video just spoils it.

Whatever....this "strategy" doesn't work for me though...

Game will not be out in 20 days. Wise up.

yep. i have the same feeling...
by the way, as you can see on this table: http://www.softclub.ru/games/releases.aspx
the release of il-2 from 1c is on "march 2011". compare it with LEGO and SHOGUN which have exact dates in 15 and 25 march!
so if we have "march 2011" we still have nothing...
sadly
