COD 3D modeling team also working on ROF...

I always thought the rumor was some people left working on Clod and moved on to Gaijin working on WoP?

If you compare the early CloD video from years ago (that one mysticpuma tradeshow video) and look at the terrain that is in the game, it looks similar to the Battle of Britain map for Wings of Prey.

I'm fine with the modelers doing other sims. The RoF sound guy did a great job with the new sounds for CloD so I don't see why it's a big deal for something like this to happen. They are freelancer modelers that need to make a living.

I agree and thought the same thing when beta testing WOP. I know they borrowed some of the FM from the original IL-2 series, but there were many other similarities. It made me think that some of Olegs personnel problems might have been some of them jumping ship to the Gaijin development.

War doesn't help at all, and this is a wonderfull news. RoF is a work of art and we are still waiting for CoD. Collaboration is probably the best way to work (look at the DB601 sound for ex.).

The Cl.II looks superb but is not a surprise now: Vladimir is a real master and i couldn't ask more for Rise of Flight.

Really great news.

Sorry to burst your bubble Zap. Happily it turns out that is not the case. Using Kegetys' extraction tool you can pull apart CoD and RoF's files and compare. They are wholly different, right down to the core level. Such allegations are completely deranged.

No kidding there.

All seems quite reasonable to me. Did they have anything to do with the RE8? Seems far too aerobatic.

I read this earlier, and as soon as I read that I had a little chuckle to myself. Still, it's good they're keeping busy anyway, but by the sounds of things (and the way that was written) it sounded more like they were temping on CloD rather than being full-time modellers, so I'd guess that they were pulled in in order to push the sim out a bit quicker, in which case there's no direct loss to CloD or the sequel.

Either way, I'm not sure if I'm reading in to it a little bit too much, but that's a bit of a shame about what they said about the Korean expansion. By the way that sounds it seems like it's had the stoppers put on it well and truely, when I was sort of hoping it was just on hiatus. Still, I hope it might see the light of day one day, but we'll have to see.
