Hyper Lobby and IL2 COD

[SC/JG Matoni]

~S All,

As someone who has been running servers since 4.03m I think that HL coming back would be a bad idea. ( no offence to the work done by HL in the past ).

Once STEAM is sorted out, and it will be, no doubt about it, it will give us access to a much larger player base than IL2 has had before. How did you hear about HL originally? I bet someone with the game told you about it? The general non sim nut, who we want to get into CoD will not know about HL.

Us picking up our sticks and heading back to HL will only hurt this sim long term, yes it sucks atm, trust me I'm trying to setup a DED atm, but I am excited about the possiblilty of new people coming into the sim. I can't speak for everyone, but I know that our player base in Oz has dried up under the old IL2.

But HL is a great way of keeping out the riff-raff and Steam is good if one wanna have an easy ride and high killrate.

This.
The only reason I ever owned HL was to play IL-2. Yes UBI was terrible. Give Steam a chance, we all know it was a last minute announcement, I'm sure the dev's are working overtime to make it work like a well oiled 109, and when it does It will only make the community stronger, as it will offer a one click service. No more jumping through hoops.

EDIT: I guess I am so pro steam because I have seen the light through some steam games. It is one of my favorite features about the games and steam. when I play original valve games that utilize all of steams abilities you don't even realize your on a special/modded server or anything along those lines its so seamless. That is what I want to see for the IL2 community.
