Oh yeah way worth it for a sequel. I would like to shoot some 190s down with a B17 with a cockpit gunner view.

Yeah that would be awesome.

Launching from a carrier, floating planes, more game modes, missions and theatres, co op. Its chilling to think of what could be in the game and scarey what could not be.

I think a good strategy to get new players in sim, is for the vets in there to go easy on the new ones. Give them a break, and do a little evasive flying in the beginning of a mission to see if they handle the mode. Let them even kill you a few times. Theres a lot of really good pilots in sim that really has nothing left to prove - and the only way to get new players to stay in the mo(o)d(e) is to give them a reason to get back. Turn on your mics and do a little tutoring in stead of shooting them straight out of the sky. My opinion anyway...

I whole heartedly agree, McQ59. i started playing a sim game 1v1 the other night and the kid messages me and says he never sim before. so i suggested we just fly around to let him get used to the difference in controls and seeing the target. i would fly infront let him try to follow....then i had him shoot to get a sense of that. the whole idea is to enjoy the game experience. a couple people showed me this kindness when i started and it helped with the frustration factor. to beat someone up just because we can will sooner or later end in empty skies. keep them coming and maybe they will talk the game up to their friends...the more the merrier.

and mac...thanks for the update. good news another game to follow...

Its nice what you did Bobby. None the less...

Dear all,

I have some good news and some bad news.

Bad news first: There will be no DLC with German cockpits.

Good news: There will be a sequel within a year's time coming to consoles, which will include cockpits, and much, much more.

Thank you everybody for voting and your support. Believe me, I didn't leave anything untried to make the cockpits happen, but due to circumstances which I'm not free to talk about it's simply not possible. Please note that the source of the news is absolutely authentic, but unofficial, and I'm not able to give any further information at this time.

So everybody, let's continue playing this wonderful game as it is for now, and be ready for the sequel!

:-)

I'm afraid i'm with House when he said....

Forgive me, but I don't want to be a doubter, but could you tell me when that post was made?

I'd like to see an official announcement, in some public means rather than just on this forum in a post.

I'd love to believe it but I want to see a press release before i get my hopes up.

Quote:

cheers trk, i dont want to be "that guy" the nay-sayer, its just I remember the arguments and the speculations that caused flame wars back when the game 1st came out. I'd just hate to see that again.

I'd love to see a sequel, but i just think raising people's hopes for something that may not come is potentially inflammatory. especially when no evidence can be used to support all the wishful thinking. by building stuff up before you even know what it is, the company can barely be able to meet expectations, let alone exceed them. but i'll take a look at your link thanks trk.

I don't want to sound disrepectful but..
Ive seen this so many times before on other game forums and it only causes trouble. You can't just come and give people good news without any information on how you know this. You were unaware that BoP is no longer suported and now suddenly you speak like you have inside knowllage. I wish it is true but I'm sorry, I cannot believe this without more evidence. I will gladly eat my words if you can tell us more on how you got this information.

:cool:

No problem Pope,

You and House can have your opinion on this. For some it's good news that there will be sequel to BOP, others may ignore it until an official announcement is made. You may also think of me what you want, but I don't owe you an explanation. And I can and will not say more in the subject than I already have.

MAC

BoP sold 6-700,000 copies worldwide? That's a fair number for a niche title so I can't see why a sequel is not in the works. The new Guitar Hero sold something like 80,000 copies in it's release window so that's a dead series, BoP will be back I am sure.

Yeah thats both 360 and PS3. There was a thread long ago where sales figures were discussed so that number had probably increased since then.
The sales on PS3 were about 80-100k higher hence the PS3 getting the patch due to higher user base (IIRC)

Edit:
Here are sales for PS3. 360 sales are on link on that page

Perhaps I shall drive over to 1C HQ and start asking questions? I want to see if they have any of those free pens too..
