Expect the worse... if it all goes Pete Tong it makes no difference.
if on the other hand someone manages to sort all of this out, you can be pleasantly suprised! |

I bought CloD at release and have been thoroughly disappointed as I couldn't get it playable on any of my systems. Until I built a new system a couple of weeks ago. Although CloD wasn't the reason I built a new system, I did take great pains to build a system that would run it - ASUS P8Z77-V, I5 3570k, 32Gb RAM, SSD, Win7 64 Bit, and the overclocked 7970 3Gb video card. I installed the game still not expecting it to run but was very impressed that it runs on maximum details, and runs beautifully. I flew a quick mission battling a bunch of 110's down low over London figuring that would test the game pretty well, and it performed flawlessly. Awesome! But after flying a dozen or so missions I'm losing interest. The map is tiny, there are few planes to fly, and the missions are generally fairly short with few aircraft in the sky. I'm missing the immersion that IL2 has provided over the years. I miss the feeling of satisfaction that comes after completing a grueling two-hour flight, even if I failed the objectives. Actually thinking about my AI squadron mates and wanting them to return to base with me. Getting jumped by surprise enroute to the target as well as on the return flight, after surviving the battle over the target. Yes, the graphics are wonderful and the complexities of flying the machines are a step up from IL2, but neither make me want to continue playing the game over IL2. For me it's nothing more than FSX with machineguns, great for an occasional flight just to revel in the graphics but that's about it for me. Basically, I can't see me spending much time in CloD regardless of whether the company exists. I've spent more money on worse sims so I don't feel ripped off at all, just very disappointed. I will say though that I didn't have any significant problems with glitches, failures or bugs - my disappointment is entirely with the game itself, not the problems with it - in other words, "fixing" the game won't make it any better for me. I do look forward to the sequel though as it surely has to be better than CloD. EDIT: I should mention that I actually bought another copy of the game when I started building the system in the hope it might be different to the original release in some way - I have no idea if the DVD's are any different though.

I'd say the lufties have the drama queen title locked up solid. Be sure.
