It's not his decision, it's not nearly as important as some people seem to make it, and whether it's indeed a failure is anyone's guess at this point. Otherwise you're correct though :-P

What are you going to play? The titel or the game?
All that is now missing is a debate if the color of the box is right or not....:rolleyes:

calling this sim "IL2 Sturmovik - Cliffs of Dover"

is as crappy as

calling Race driver grid "VW Käfer - black asphalt of the road"


I could imagine that Ubisoft wants to kill all russian developing studios to become the only monopole. That would justify the decision.

Building brands is a costly process. By using the old name they can target people who know the brand but are not hardcore enthusiastic enough to know that SOW is made by the same people.. So businesswise it's a very logical decision. IL-2 is a hugely acclaimed brand so why not use it in a "sequel" ?

Anyway. I don't understand this nitpicking about stupid things.. Why do you care what's the name of the game? As long as it flys well I'm happy.

Too much stowed energy!!!

No, its not!
























runs

Their is a huge difference between "XYZ: new title" and "New Title. from the makers of XYZ"

IL-2 is a name of an airplane, and the game is named after that famous airplane and focused on that airplane.
BoB did not have that airplane, has no Russian airplane, and is 1000's of KM away from Russia!

SO WHAT???

It's just a name!!!

Whom do you want to impress with your ideas?

99,9% of the readers here know what IL2:CoD stands for and wont confuse it with anything else.

The name of the game doesn´t matter!

But a possible permanent internet connection very well!


On a german forum it was confirmed by UBI_Marc (UBISOFT), that the user has to activate once online and that there don t have to be permanent internet connection.

sorry guys if it was posted before...Will IL2: COD be DX9 or DX10? I think Oleg stated once it wont be opengl....
