I firmly believe that this turned into "Revenge Of The Offliners" scenario some time ago. They blame us for all the problems with the offline game, and there are problems with it I agree. So now they have their chance to "get back" at the online "boogie man" that held them down for so long.

Which is a load of nonsense on the face of it, but a casual walk through the threads over at their place pretty much confirms my suspicions. There is a core group over there that simply wants to bring down online, for their own perverted, juvenile gratification. Honestly, it's like sitting in the locker room of a not very mature sports team over there.

I was shocked.

Well, EL, it was the onliners who whined untill Oleg made the bombs do no damage after the pilot was killed........very realistic.

It is always a thin line to walk when you make a game for BOTH online and offline. What is "realistic" for one group (i.e. the above example) may ruin the other groups online fun.

I think Maddox game should make the next series (SoW) into 2 types to buy (seperate), a online version and a offline version. Make them non-compatible so the online crowd can continue to give each other wet-willies online.........j/k calm down Billfish.

That way, when SoW is cracked (it will someday, so is the way of things), the onliners don't need to say.... "YOU F***EN MODDERS RUINED MY, MY, MY, GAME!!!!!!!!!"

Think about Mr. Maddox.... 2 seperate version to sell, Offline and Online. Maybe you can make double the money. (BTW, I get 3 % of all profits for my idea.....LOL)

I think that it is near impossible...or who am i kidding, impossible, period... to work out our differences. It will never get off the level that we are on right now. Might as well just drop it, cause talking s$$it back and forth is not taking us anywhere... Hackers, sorry..modders.. will continue with their stuff, us, onliners will have to pray that either Oleg or someone else will come up with the solution.. There is no other way. Until then, nothing will change.

DerAlte...talking about grudge...jeez man, chill. It`s a holiday season, relax, have a drink or something :D

P.S. as was already stated, SOW will have MP and SP separated... so, there.

Well that ruins my 3% profit !!!!!! LOL :D

That is the best Maddox News I have heard in a long time!

Now what will the on-liners have to cry about...? :)

No 'crying' here. Just a coming to terms with twits like this who are handed the tools on a plate.


"Yes, after the nutcases at the Zoo and other forums.... CRACK IT !!!! F**K THEM !!!

If maybe they keep their mouths shut, I would say OK, we have ours and they theirs, but not anymore. All I want is revenge..... nothing but sweet revenge. I want to see "THEIR" game "RUINED".

That's right........I hold a grudge for a REAL LONG TIME !!! "

many abbrevations come to mind: omg, lol, wtf, ffs, lmao and omg again. i can almost see you guy's throbbing veins on your temples :D

When even a (Contemporary) Online poll has Online players in the minority...you have to realise that they are definately in a minority! Olegs quote might be from a few years ago...but at least its a reference...far better than "theres usually a few hundred of people online at Hyperlobby...so theres loads of Onliners" (Set against what was it...400K Units shipped?) which is a near to hard data as anyone from the anti-mod camp has presented.
Besides as I pointed out earlier, whilst there is a high level of Internet take up in the prosperous parts of the US and North-West Europe...that is by no means a world wide phenomenon...IL2 sold widely in Eastern Europe, Russia and elsewhere...regions with far less internet availability.

Yes absolutely! You have already made it plain that in your arrogance you believe that you can discount anyones opinion which differes from your own...Though quite why you believe your one, individual opinion should have any greater validity than any other individuals is something which completely escapes me...

Interestingly enough to compare these two posts...

So could you explain why the opinion of Offliners is worthless, yet offline mod users have to take responsibility for an online community which cannot trust itself to behave in a fair and mature fashion?

Surely its one or the other?
