This thread isn't about any of the CloD problems - we all know what these are. It's about rebuilding the fan base/developer relationship and BoM providing a great opportunity to do so. You could even do this with CloD if the will to do so is there.

No Battle for Moscow for me, until they fix the CLOD.

+1

I accepted the not working comm.
I accepted the scripted Campaign.
I accepted the FPS drops.

..but I really cannot accept the CTD. I know, always the same "bla bla bla" .

For me CloD is a really nice sim, no question!

Is it possible that the main focus of the devs is concentrating to the sequel?

I think they're doing it in parallel. I would imagine they will try to give us the minimum fixes to get the game stable and playable but without much more content. Alongside that they'll be doing everything they can to get BOM out the door to bring in more money. The workload for BOM won't be anything like CLOD as once they've got the engine working properly it's just a matter of maps and cockpits etc.

Then they can give us things that were promised for CLOD like dynamic weather? Better AI? and other improvements.

I'm not holding out too much for the next couple if they fix the crashes and make sure the Fm is right then that's a start!

We are kind of a "captive" community...No more other real good ww2 air combat sim out there.
So , just by curiosity, lets pretend that 1C had completely abandonned CLOD,
but was able to come out with a full featured new game with Moscow theater in September of 2012 , with all the bells and whisles as promised in CLOD,
would you forgive 1C and run to buy it ? If most of us are thinking "YEAH !", then this is probably what we will get....To be honnest, those of us who are still reading and writing on 1C's forums are all craving for a top notch game....We are addicts...SO whatever the price, we will still be there to buy anything good 1C is going to put out....I think they know that...

Salute !

I'd be cautious to be honest because I don't have a lot of time for games etc and only spent so much on my rig for CLOD really. I have always dreamed of being able to fly a BOB sim so I would want to see if the users dropped CLOD as well.

If all the good stuff was ported to CLOD as I believe it will be and there are plenty of people flying bob missions then I would buy it.

All that im waiting for is the fix for the CTD, before that I was waiting for the multi-player sound fix, the game as never been playable for me without a major problem. When the CTD is fixed maybe I cant start to sing its praises but its going to have to be amazing to justify the long wait pre-release and then the fix post release. I have never in 20 years of gaming ever purchased a product that was so bad out of the box in terms of bugs and completely unfinished features.

Can I start calling it the "Battle for Moose and Cows" now, or do I have to wait for the official announcement?

That bad ? I tought the majority was able to play the game as is on good machines...
But I still think that the new game will be out before major patching is done on COD...Hope I am wrong !

Yeh like me for example I can fly it with most settings turned up but after 55 minutes it crashes...thats fine for dogfight servers but not for CO-OPs....that is if there were CO-OPs out there to fly which there aren't because it is badly implemented.

I do think there will be a patch to address the CTD which will be part of the updated engine but there are many things missing and I think that is where you are right. We probably wont get radio commands/better ai, dynamic weather and loads of other things until BOM.

The question is can they give us enough to keep us flying until it is released?
