This needs to be highlighted.

There are too many people on here for whom the developers can do no wrong, or no right.

A demo is a good idea to let everyone try for themselves.

A demo ? I assume, no I'm sure that IL2 CLOD customers will receive a free copy of the sequel to download in order to fix the defective product. :)

Or does Luthier really expect that we do a blind bargain again? No, he can't be that naive.

As I can not see anything negative about a free BoM-Demo, I would say: Yes, this would be a good thing....

I bought CloD for 17 Euros, a very acceptable price for hundreds of hours I spent on playing. Call of Duty costs as much as 60 Euro with very limited re-play potential.

If BOM is a better game, good news for all of us. If it fails to surpass CloD, I think price will drop quite fast, and I would happily pay 17 Euros again to sit in the IL-2's detailed cockpit hunting German tanks on vas Russian steppe.

I own the CloD Collectors Edition. When/if BoM is released I'll try the "torrent demo" first, fool me once etc etc.

I spent nearly the same for Cliffs of Dover with tons of bugs, unfinished and no future, if I'm not willing to buy the sequel.....

So what? :confused:

I dont buy it till the comments will be nice or no demo.

Socond time take a "joke" ? Oh no.

You got something very wrong about inflation. 100 DM or 50 EUR from 1997 would equal 75 EUR today. CloDs collector edition (with printed manual, pilot's notes and map) was sold for 69.90 EUR by amazon.de at time of release.

Agreed.
I also will be buying without trying I have faith in these guys.
Keep up the great work,they will get there and all these gtripes will be thing of the past.:-P

Gripes not Gtipes big fingers small keys lol
