Yea but at least if they didn't release it, they wouldn't have dragged their name in the dirt. I am not sure what the reasoning was, but they did it. And yes while complaining really doesn't matter we might as well just "STFU", and leave for the summer and hopefully by fall come back to something better, this is a community.

Everyone is here complaining because they care, because they want to love the game, I guarantee everyone in here complaining is an avid flight sim fan, and wants this game to be the best thing for the next 8 years.

So unless the boards are taking away from the 1C company or causing some server to meltdown, you need the complainers, because from my stance the "complainers" are about 50% of the sales, and I don't see any new simmers jumping ship anytime soon.

I got my first online kill last night. It was the single imost immersive gaming experience i have ever had, bar none.

Not only was I struggling to come up to speed if engine temperature effects and the additional work load just in flying the plane that that entails, but trying to identify the tagets against ground clutter and then get into a firing solution without loosing track of the target. (Who helped me in the last moments by flying past my sights! I think he was concentrating on something else)

CoD has it's problems, but no more that DCS:A-10 and ROF when they were initialy let loose on the world.


Cheers

Don´t know about ROF, but DCS A-10 was very functional in its final release form and comparing that to CoDs release is really an insult. Betas of A-10might have sucked like a vacuum, but at least people who paid for beta did know what they were getting themselfs into. Bottom line is; with A-10 final release felt actually like a game you can play, with CoD most of us were fooled into participating for paid beta.

I think this is a point worth of noting, cause both A10 and CoD are extremely accurate and demanding simulators aimed for specific and limited market.

There is also the right way to do these things, and by far the way Eagle Dynamics chose was better. Of course in the ideal world games and sims alike would get published as a totally finished products, with no need for patching whatsoever.

Yeah I have to agree with a lot of the comments.

It's really a Beta so suck it up and wait for new patches. I certainly hope they get enough to make it viable or we are looking at a dead product. You can't sell this to new folks and expect them to stick with it.

It reminds me of DCS A10. Bought the prebeta with all the bugs and performance issues knowing it would become something really good. So far so good.

I really do hope this works out.

Well said, as long as it gets ironed out, which it sounds like maybe in a month or so... We will all forget about the first month or so of this paid Beta release...

The publishers and developers arn't stupid people and would not have released COD in the state it was in unless it was abolutely necessary. They new full well the respose would initially be bad. Now hopefully enough funds have been raised to secure further work on the series. This is actually a good thing for us, we may initially get a faulty product, but we now could have a product that will be continually added too and improved upon, instead of a development company that shuts down before the game is released.

Complainers that do so in a constructive manor are a great asset to the community, but there are more than a few that drive away new customers of the genre, which we all could ill afford. The only positive thing they do is provide entertainment, and keep the forums lively, while we still have a genre to participate in.

Amen brother!!!

As Chivas said constructive critisim is a great thing, just pilling in the negative comments helps nothing. We all know that Oleg as a veru good reputation. He will deliver. They propbably just needed the cash to do so.

I really hope that the new addons (maps/plane/ships/ground object pack) are made available for a price, not givenaway for free. IMHO it is a small price to pay to assure the continuity of this genre. I know I would pay $30-$50 US for an expension pack.

This way maybe we will have drivable tanks, ships, subs, etc... This would be the BOMB
