Images of maps of IL2 COD

[Blackdog_kt]

I sure hope we can use the 1:1 map in online matches.

That being said, does anyone of you remember the online maps in the original IL2? I do and they looked a lot like the ones that are apparently in CoD, many of them looking like they were taken straight out a real-time strategy game: symmetric islands around a central point and what not.

It didn't stop IL2 being successful and it won't stop CoD either. What matters is having at least one REAL map and a sim that works well for most PCs, after that we can have as many silly maps as we like and it won't harm the game one bit.

I can understand people being worried about the frame rates.

I can understand people being worried about what kind of PC they need to run this.

I can understand people having different preferences about copy protection, Steam or no Steam, Solidshield DRM or not, what is more important between graphics and gameplay, DX11 or no DX11, i really can.

I can even understand that some people think they'll be able to fly this at maxed settings right off the bat, however mistaken they might probably be even after the first round of optimizations has taken place.

But i seriously can't understand not buying the game over what is an optional map for some quick online skirmishes that you can never play on if you don't want to. It's like saying "i won't buy this because it has no-cockpit view" when i can very easily disable that view and use the realistic cockpit view.

I'm not saying you have to agree with me, it's your opinion and you are entitled to it. It's just that of all the reasons i've ever seen for not buying the game, this is the only one that has actually made me laugh out loud in real life. Sorry, i really mean no offense to anyone, but i just can't help it...i'm actually laughing like a little boy in front of my monitor right now
