Let's talk sequel!

[Verhängnis]

I was hoping for a prequel... But I seriously hope that the modifications to the core files in BoM are backwards compatible for CoD.

Today's update really kind of upset me... I thought dynamic weather, and all of these goodies were going to be a part of this game, and now you expect me to pay money? I understand you have bills to pay but, I will wait for it to hit the $12 bargain bin, before I go spending $50 right out the gates.

The addon will be merged and/or stand alone, your choice, unless the developer has changed plans. This should mean that any features, like improved weather, AI, FM, DM, will also be available with COD. Its a win win situation, which includes much needed cash flow for the developer. If you choose not to buy the sequal the improved weather etc, will probably by available as a free patch for COD. They will probably posts betas to test the weather system on COD before releasing the Battle for Moscow.

Looking forward to some high fidelity P40 goodness.

Be sure.

I do wish people would read this thread through properly, most irrational fears are addressed on earlier pages, all I am seeing is repeated claims of COD abandonment and lack of comatibility with BOM, the IL-2 myth machine grinds on.

Closer to the truth:

I have no problem jumping in as soon as it is released because at the end of the day it is still cheap fun even if there are bugs to be crunched! All the miseryguts, and drama queens that carry on as if they have been personally insulted, or robbed of their last $ over this game really need to get a grip I think!

I'm with Chivas and Trumps.

The Moscow expansion will bring in large numbers of customers from Maddox/1C's home market, and by extension, a large inflow of CASH. Thus, the future of the series will be on a much better financial footing.

I wonder how many of the doom and gloomers on this forum hit themselves in the head with a hammer each morning just because it feels so good when the pain subsides...

I hate to rain on your parade..but NO one and I mean no one in Russia pays more than 10-20 TOPS for a dvd video game. If the dollar to ruble ratio where it last was...29 rubles for one dollar..means...2900 rubles is 100..and 1800 is 50 bucks there..the average salary in Russia is about 4-500 a month..so not a whole lot of folks there popping down 50 bucks for a game..let alone the hardware to play something like this.do you have any idea how much a good rig costs there? 40-50 percent higher than here,, if not more. What IC did was pretty amazing..got US/Western customers to plop down the cash for a beta game..provide all the testing..so they can market something to their home customers.but in the end.the west is where the money is..the new call of duty MW brought in about 1/2 a billion dollars so far...and that is NOT from sales in Russia/eastern europe. We basically beta tested this game for them at a cost of 50 dollars..something the average russian gamer cant afford.

We might not get anything at all. This mystery and "not allowed to disclose information" about the problem preventing the patch and BoM details makes me that maybe it a legal issue of some discription
