Well, Gaijin took the award for the best console game 2011 at the Russian game developer's conference recently.

Sorry to be negative, but it seems to me that the game isn't profitable enough for a publisher to pick up the bill for. My market research has shown me most console flight sims actually lose money and thats not something a publisher is interested in supporting. I too hope for a sequel but it would have to be a further developement of BoP and not some pacific spin off. I hope a major/decent publisher comes along with the budget and patience to do things right; do necassary extra multiplayer testing etc.
505 didn't do it, from what we're hearing from CLOD ubisoft didn't do it either (that didn't suprise me)

Valid point shadow, i would say it wouldnt kill BOP like the COD series there are a hardcore, who will always play so i think there will always be organised games ect ect

I think it depends on how much overlap there is between the gameplay and options between the two versions. If the sequel is in a different theater with a different selection of planes then people may continue to play both as the mood takes them.

But, as with any sequel, the original multi will probably drop off significantly.
