As the coop mode with online wars is hugely popular amongst the big Russian squads, it came as a bit of a shock to not see it in CoD.
Its what a lot of squads just assumed would be in from the beginning I think.
Five months after release I really thought we would be flying a huge BoB online war every night in Hyperlobby. Yes, I was naieve...

No, it was said by the devs that things like Hyperlobby could be used.I think the words used by Oleg when asked were: ''of course! ''

There's no way to bypass Steam but according to the manual HL support (or other 3rd party server browsers) is possible, it's just not 1c's job to do it (just like they didn't do the work themselves for the previous IL2 series, the creator of HL did it on his own).

In other words, having HL support for CoD is possible if the creator of HL wants to do it, then you will be clicking the "join" button, HL will minimize and CoD will launch, just like with IL2. The difference is that launching CoD will automatically call up the steam client if it's not already running.

There is a topic on the Hyperlobby forum, but nothing actual :/
