but here is me hoping they actually fix the residual bugs we have in CoD (weapons issues, missing features etc), so that BoM is not just a new add-on on top of the incomplete and buggy mess we got now. still, i am glad the whole project is back on track and that CoD at least runs now, and online in multiplayer it is pretty good (but with some significant missing features and some annoying bugs)

i would have trusted Oleg to address the residual bugs and deal with them and understand the importance to do so (to rebuild confidence in the series and refute the detractors), but i just dont know if luthier understand the importance in having to fix them (he might well try and release a reasonably well functioning BoM and then immediately move onto the MMO without ironing out the main residual bugz that affect gameplay and the game working as a good ww2 simulator).

time will tell

All of the above +1.
