This promised BoP patch is an added bonus for an already unique experience.
(BTW I am a software dev myself (unfortunately not in developping games/sims, which is probably about the hardest thing one could set out to do).
Dunno about BoP, but in general when we talk about software users:
- some users will never ever be satisfied
- some will always claim (your) software is not ready
- some people will never even try to find and admit there is good in anything
- flaws in almost everything are a fact of life, some flaws only due to limited resources.
I have nothing but admiration for these devs (and publishers) that have an almost impossible task to satisfy the most demanding people of all: (hardcore) simmers.
Thx 1C/505/devs for this beautiful game/sim.
"Approve or Improve".

Quoted for truth. Amen, bro.

I love anton and his crew for the game that they made but blind love thats happening here is pretty sad.

all that was required to fix this game months ago was a hotfix for the crash bug and the game would have retained the community for MONTHS

i dont believe for a second that any of this waiting for 3 months would have happened if the "Extra" playstation functionalities like keyboard support , and extra joystiks were not implemented. The QA testing and legal bullshit they would have to go through to get this enabled would be mindwrecking.

and all we needed in the first place was a quick fix with some changes in code.

now the 360 community IS dead , and from what i see now is not repairable in any way unless they start marketing the game again. because nobody is online at all and new users who buy this game are being robbed of their money if they intended to play this online.

Oh give it up, frankly I'm tired with all the brown nosers sucking up to Anton and the devs thinkin' they'll get special treatment in the future or something...

I have only seen one person on my huge friend list of IL2 360 players on since MW2 came out and more and more quality titles are coming out...

BOP is a lost cause, though I patiently await the sequel.

MW2 sucks. COD 4 plays much smoother on PC with a dedicated server.
At least Battlefield Bad Company 2 won't be screwing over pc gamers and will ship with dedicated server among other things.

Do we have to turn this into another CoD thread?
He just said people were drawn away by it, I can confirm this, even though I'm not playing it myself.

Are we there yet?


Seeing as COD will hijack just about every update thread until it happens I thought I'd just say that MW2 is ace but last night I experienced some interesting teamwork glitching involving 2 players cooperating on freeforall, sort of lying prone facing each other and somehow getting headshot on players anywhere on the map...(360)...that and solo disappearing inside a rock on afghan shooting out but impervious to fire...I watched the glitchers on terminal and estate basically kill at will...then I quit and filed a complaint..

Good man Juz, can't stand glitchers.

Ok cut the crap
 

Ok lets get real hear.I love this COD or forza high jacked the community."BS"
If this game would have been correct and tested at release,Or it would have had a hot fix of something in a timely fashion then the community would have stayed .Pilots play good pilot games.COD and Forza and IL-2 are all very different games.I impersonally would have not bought CODMW2 at all if anyone would have been playing IL-2 "the game I would have like to been playing"But no one was.Not because of CODMW2 but because of the crash BS,the plains not flying correctly BS and the server message BS that cost us players.If all these things would have been fixed "oh maybe in the FIRST TWO MOUTHS of release"maybe the community would still be playing.So stop blaming COD and forza for this games problems.Let me guess Next it well be the fault of the BUSH administration!!!!!!!

Brown nosing? Get a life kiddo, saying when something is good and you like it aint brown nosing, its called "customer satisfaction".I am a satisfied customer, as are many other members here. Your constant bitching about the game being "broken", or "dead" is a pain in the arse and members here are sick of it.

And no of course I dont expect any special treatment, that would be totally idiotic. And if you dont have any friends on BoP thats YOUR fault not the games, because with your attitude I certainly wouldnt have you on MY friends list.

Frankly if you hate the game that much why dont you fekk off to the MW2 forums, since your "brown nosing" IW.
