BlackSix really does have one of the most ungrateful jobs I've ever seen, one which I would not want for all the money in the world.

I do, however, have a question for future projects. How much emphasis is being put on gameplay aspects (single missions, campaigns etc)? Neither Il-2 nor CloD were ever renowned for brilliant offline gameplay. The best campaigns were always made by the community, either free or as payware. With CloD the gameplay part is not there (and no sugarcoating will gloss that over), probably due to the general troubles and time constraints. But how much emphasis is being put on rectifying the issue in future products? In my opinion a collection of well-designed, tested and documented single missions and immersive offline campaigns is a showcase for what a game engine can achieve. It's, IMO, one of the most effective marketing tools of a game. Is that on MG's scope at all?
I agree to a certain extent, but had CLOD been a terrific success in that it didn't have any problems then I imagine we would be seeing a lot more of luthier, I predict he will reappear on here and be very obliging just before the sequel goes on sale.
