A massively common story, as I can tell from the reactions I get from my movies. Anyway, this is my last post in this thread. It is impossible to get the last word against the hater brigade, especially their most stalwart members, so I'll leave it at this...

A flawed game killed the game, plain and simple. It promised more than it could deliver, required an insanely beefed up pc to run well, and fell flat in many aspects. Its over. We should not keep beating this dead horse, and move on to the next specacular game we can all moan about.

The real true is that CloD is dead, it was dead since before release, after years of development, my squads mates always said 1 year before release, that the game will fail due to the lack of video preview we recived, i always said that the game will be great, i was soooooo wrong, when i launch it first time after a month of pre order waiting (unfixable mistake) and after reading the first russians reviews i said this team will fix it son, everybody was told that the problem was the E-filter, and we all bought that, the first MG first big lie, were thos video with out sound, as those were made with the avi recording feature that record frame by frame an looks like the game runs perfectly, once i realized that i lost all hope on this game, when they start to turn off features in every patch, it was more obvious, all knows what every patch fix and broke more than fix, so now looking backwards you can esealy see that the sequel was a simply face cover to the real true, the game was already dead and the move to join forces with 777 studios was on the way (in my opinion that should be the great june anounce), after 7 years of development and a year in intensive cares the patient just stop breathing.

Now after see what i seen what 777 studios did with RoF, have complete confidence on that team well organized, and with good and kind comunication with the community i see we will get a great product
forums didn't kill this game, Oleg and co bad managment did it during development and before release.

In aviation terms: They tried to build an Airbus A380XXL with the team and resources of the Wright-Brothers.

And I'm honest: I'm glad it's over.
777 will make a fresh start and hopefully with one step at a time, rather than reinventing everything.


So, is it our fault?
No. Be it supporters like myself (at least in the beginning) or constant complainers. We all came here for the same hopes and reasons. Just with different ways to express our feelings. But you can't make a brick fly - no matter how loud or sweet you talk to it.

If you read Loft's posts on the new forum, you will know what's comming. Loft posted very early on about the lack of interest in accurate and advanced combat flight sim and praised those new arcade flying games made recently with the pay for every gauge and bolt bussines model.
The new game will be a far cry from anything we, il-2 players, take for granted. Online will suck due to limitations of the engine and fragmented community because of a lot of payware.
If you think BOS will follow on Il-2's foot steps you will be in for a surprise.

have you tried RoF???

The needs of the many were undermined by the ability of the few.

Many suggestions and bugs were completely ignored by the team as they tried to make us believe they were fixing (read as removing) features. The writing was on the wall, sadly some were illiterate.

Glad to see though that work continues in fixing Clod, shame it's through unofficial routes.

Time will show though that enthusiasts will resurrect and bring back to life a much less buggy CloD.

Good times are coming ;)

Have you read the Rof forums in the last few days.....

Your obviously not reading the forums there-or rather your reading a lot of stuff that isn't there.

Hey if your bound and determined to be miserable have at it. Were all looking forward to the release of a functional game-something CoD never was.

Jaws is spot on. I'd say you haven't been reading much.

Loft's answers have been - no we can't, no we are not going to, or maybe later, not at release. It's simple PR fluff as this will be simply a re-skinned ROF. If 777 cared so much about accuracy how come their sim has been out 4 years and the SE5A doesn't even have something as simple as trim?

It's obvious you don't know much about the sim or clod for that matter.
