A Question for my fellow COD lovers

They are in the process of making a new game yes, the new game depends on COD being fixed because at the moment COD is the only game in circulation which uses the engine for all future releases, without a fixed engine there is no sequel, no sequel means no money coming in, and the devs can empty their desks and look for another job in the well known and massive flight simming industry.

Take note of this post.

It's the one simple truth of the whole sequel saga..

In short.
If COD doesn't work neither will BOM. Which also means that if BOM works, so will COD..

I'm amazed at how many of the 'outraged by the sequel' posters have forgotten or ignored this basic point.

I don't think being 'outraged by the sequel' is wrong though is it?

All the majority ask is sort the present (and what came in the past), then look to the future.

Possibly to much to ask is it?

They have stated that the programmers are working on COD, a separate team is working on the new map and the modellers are working on the sequel.

So they are sorting out the present!

It isn't wrong it's just a bit shortsighted.
I think you'll find that the majority want the game fixed, the past is past. Whatever they do to CoD won't fix the last year, so the past is pretty irrelevant.
The future is dependant on getting the game engine sorted, which is what they are doing

If COD gets fixed as a by-product of BoM then that's still the same end result. ie. working game.

1c cannot release BoM unless CoD is working, because that would mean BoM won't work either.

I simply will not buy BoM until it's shown to be working, I think many here share the same thought.

I could understand the 'outrage' if the Devs had come on here and said, we can't fix CoD so we're starting from scratch with BoM, new engine..etc

They didn't though, they said that BoM was the same engine as CoD and that by working on BoM they were also working on CoD.

So by being outraged by the sequel you're basically getting outraged at the fact that the Devs are working to get you a working game.. Strange..? Or petty?

Is it not though the proverbial ever decreasing circle, we won't buy the sequal/add-on/expansion as there are no gaurantees that it will work or fix CLoD, but if we don't buy it there possibly will never be a finished CLoD?

Also, are they working to fix CLoD or are they titbits throw to us until BoM is ready (if ever)??

Yes, it's quite possible that CoD will never get fixed and that BoM will never get released.

But we are the kings of our own destiny on this.

Let's just suppose for a moment that BoM gets released with CoD still not working properly.. Who in their right mind on here is gonna shell out for it?
Not many.

My prediction is that when they are happy with BoM we will get a patch for CoD.
Then BoM will be released.
There is no other logical approach that makes any business sense.

So my original point still stands, if you are angry about the sequel you should probably stop thinking in terms of CoD/BoM and try to see them as one entity with different plane sets and maps.

Like I said before, if the Devs decide to ditch CoD in favour of BoM then getting angry is probably justified. Until that day (which I don't think is gonna happen) The sequel shouldn't really be getting people outraged... It's at the very least a sign that the Devs see a future.

Don't get me wrong, the release of CoD has been a very disappointing experience, but to beat up on the Devs because they are trying to fix it, just not in the way you think they should do it, is pointless.

I have no problem with people being 'outraged' by the whole CoD thing either and am not here to make apologies for the Devs. I just found the reaction to the sequel to be rather knee jerk.

The reality for me is that I will not buy a sequel until CoD is, at the very least heading in the right direction. If everybody on here said the same then I'd have no problems with that. It's the 'why the hell are you working on that instead of fixing this' attitude that I was commenting on.. That and this in this case are the same thing.

Well its got a long way to go before it will drive me away from ROF thats the BEST dogfighting sim at the moment plus they go about the business in a proper manner and its awsome what they have achieved.

The problem lays when in the case that BoM works you will have to buy it to make CloD works too, and if that could be the case, it will be plain fraud

Will you be able to fly though trees and building aswell in BOM?. And also will there be a demo of BOM? so we can try before we buy cus i wouldnt want to make the same mistake again.
