Expansion from Desatersoft

[whoarmongar]

Hardly an expansion pack is it. To my mind an expansion pack gives you new content, ie new aircraft and or new maps.
This is just a mission addonpack.

Just wondering because they are in the same pricerange.

And for IL2'46 there were realy a lot of good free downloadable missions/campaigns. IF this will be the case for CoD , time will tell-having CoD's FMB in mind. This thing is only similar to the '46 one for the first look!
As said, nobody is forced to buy such adons, they dont change the gameversion.

And yes , gamecontent for IL2 classic was also made by 3.party , from the Hyperlobby to dynamic campaign generators!
That was never the strength of 1C:MG

I don't see either why people discuss the price so ardently. I understand that some may be angry because Cod came with so little content. But this is definitely not the fault of Desastersoft.

I can understand that some people are not willing to pay this price but hey, why quarreling about it? Just don't buy it if it is too expensive for you. Just wait until some cheaper or free stuff will turn around.

I for my part liked the demo but as long as the AI is not fixed I won't get too much into single player and therefore won't spend the money on a sp campaign. However, if they finally manage to fix the AI and the FM issues I surely will spend some money on quality sp campaigns as I did for IL2. Imho the commercial campaigns that I bought were well worth their money and not one single free campaign came even close. Which seems obvious: hobby campaign designers spend some of their spare time on it and it is extremely difficult to put that many hours into such a project. And selling a campaign puts some nice pressure on the designer to deliver or he will be sooner out of business than he can say x#.@*

I can't help but wonder why someone would name their company Disastersoft (Desastersoft in German), unless they were doing earthquake and tsunami sims. Altough they are doing Hurricanes.

3. such a 'english' version will be only available as a digital download


so far the infos you get if you read german forums. i am sure as soon Desastersoft have something at hand , they will show up officially in english spoken forums too!

Oh my, that kinda sucks. My Steam language is English and I really don't want to switch it. Well, maybe a little .cmd script is in order to copy the _de.briefing to _en.briefing ...

But the demo had no troubles with my installation of CoD, I had the briefings, albeit in German language.

"Fliegerasse! Helmut Wick vs. J. C. Dundas" will come out in english too, the translate need some time.

You can play the Campaigns in english Steam, but written Language in Briefing is German, the briefing files do not ending with a "de" linke in the demo.
