Battle for Moscow

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 !

Salute !

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?

Hey Tree,

You must not have played Microsofts Combat Flight Simulator3, the definition of unplayable at release and 1-2 years after for some. Needless to say, that was the end of big bucks MS and it's cfs series. The sim (COD) plays fine for me just needs some optimization or a next gen video card to realy get going(some planes need a fix here or there too), hey that sounds like IL2 back in 2001.

SO, COD is a lesser failure by comparison, so we should be lesser whinners..

Never said that..

The point your missing is most if not all games are released with bugs.. Such that it is un-realistic to 'expect' a game to not have any bugs at release.

The difference most miss is that 1C is still working on fixxing the bugs.. Where as other games like SH5 gave up a long Long LONG time ago.

SAVVY?

Witout doubt there is an element of the whingers that have an agenda

So what is an acceptable % of bugs in a game at release ? How can you draw the line ? Many games are 99% fully functionnal at release even with few bugs.
And some are so buggy they would never pass QC but are released anyways...
In what category would you, yourself ,put COD at initial release ?
And almost a year after the first release, what is in opinion the current state of COD in terms of patches and hotfix ?
We are all in the dark now and that is why a lot of us are just speculating ...and debating ...and arguing for nothing...really...
