Images of maps of IL2 COD

Period.

I couldn't say it better in my poor english. Thank.

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

Hey Blackdog_kt kalispera

We don't care about the silly small maps, as long as we have a big realistic map that can be played online.
That's all we ask and please don't tell me that online experience will have to stay in these silly maps!!!

true about IL2 in 2001 . there were 'online maps'
but also other maps that could be used even online. You just had sometimes framerateproplems OVER the city of Stalingrad and Berlin. Most other maps and areas were ok.
Later with FB the Finnland map caused proplems for some players , also true.

but, to repeat, there still were other possibilites. and not only these fantasie islands.
We will see how this big map works online when you keep the missions on a small area and stay away from London (and other bigger cities).
If it will be 'unplayble' (at least for the next months), CoD makes no sence for known servers like Warbird of Prey as example IMHO

Well, if the manual states that you shouldn't use the main map for multiplayer... that probably means the game will burn your rig if you tried it - with more than one aircraft on it.
And since there are no other historical maps...

i always thought about such areas when the development team spoke about "additional smaller maps for online play"....

Something like these 2 areas woulda been good tho. I will still do online coops on the large map. I liked the fantasy maps in FB they were good fun, for a mess about. But really, FB/IL2 etc have always shipped with a smaller map or 2, historical that one can play online.

Franky has the best idea i think IMHO. Not that my opinion matter, but then, i am a customer...
