Single Player Game Play

[Oh Chute!]

I don't utilize multi-player on line game play. Can any one give me a constructive take on COD single-player mission and how it is all functioning. I want to purchase the game. Have followed all the lead ups and waited for the release but, have read way too much negative opinion for me to make a decision so far. Any help would be appreciated.

Just go ahead!
Im very much into all that flying stuff and all i can say: Get an TrackIR and learn your lessons on the solo-player stuff as long as it takes (there is not much right now but concentrate on the basics theres enough to learn)! Enjoy the flying, get some shoot downs! There`s loads of tutorials in this forum for the basic and may be that we meet some day face to face, or maybe in a coop later on!

Btw, you read in every forum loads of negativ stuff, but it`s up to you to make YOUR decision into playing what ya like or what the others `re playin! Negativ remarks `re very selective especially in forums!

Hope to see everyone soon!

Thanks for replying Rince. I'm a long time IL2 fan/player and want to migrate to IL2 COD. However it is the game functioning and performance in single player mission that I'm most interested in hearing about. I'm more than willing to purchase the game but, alas not if it has to sit on the shelf and await multiple patches to be playable. I'd like to hear from those who have game time and maybe about some of the stuff I should be aware of in terms of performance expectations and common issues that had to be overcome.

So far there is a problem with communications...you can hear other planes but you cant order them anything. The campaign engine lacks awards and medals etc. I hope these things will be fixed soon. The training is good and even if you are a long time il2 player you will have initial difficulties with complex engine management. So...until the features are fixed, you will have plenty to enjoy/learn in quick missions

I haven't played the Luftwaffe campaign yet, but the British one is very nice. It's very immersive, due to those little stories which are dependent on how you play the campaign. Like said before, there are problems with controlling your wingmen, but I didn't find it annoying, as usually after disengaging from combat we returned to base separately

Thanxs for the feed back guys. I appreciate it. I've been trying to glean as much as I can from the different threads but responses are more geared to individual issues and it's difficult to get a "big picture" of how the game is functioning on the whole.
