I see lots of posts across the CoD forums using the term "patches".
A patch is an official, non-beta release. Since CoD was released in Russia and Europe there has been only 1, official patch that was delivered over steam. There have been 5 beta versions released - 1 for the RU version and 4 since the English version was released. The beta versions are intended for community testing, and in some sim communities this situation works pretty well. No small developer can have all examples of O/S's - video cards and CPU's - therefore it usually benefits progress to release in this manner. So, there's only been 1 patch since release - the rest have been beta's. S! Gunny

For giggles I installed the original IL2 from its CD the other day without updating it.
Two observations: 1- it's come a long way, baby... 2- it WAS playable out of the box, took some getting used to after CFS, but totally playable with all its core functionalities implemented. So in that respect, head and shoulders above CloD release (from what I've read, I haven't upgraded my old rig. That said, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the 1C team are going to get CloD up to scratch in the near-future; most likely prior to the North American release. I think they are ACUTELY aware that if the major bugs (commands/communications being the most salient) which remain are not squashed by that date they are going to be mauled in reviews. I think the Jedi's patients just need a little more patience, and should give 1C a bit of leeway based on past support experience over the last DECADE |
