it's because they like complaining...I'm sure one of them will be along soon complaining about your criticism of them....I hope you are familiar with the term 'fanboi' because they throw that one around a hell of alot, it's also something to do with them having to spend a few bucks on a game and now their children will have to starve for a year.

Yeah they sometimes found a IL2-COD fan in the 1C / IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover forum

The world is doomed !!

Oh SNAP!

Kind of reminds me of the guy who had a couple of thousands of dollars invested in his rims and tires on a car that was only worth $500 while his kids ran around with no shoes on.. Just never figured those guys played flights sims too!

Too many "sequel" words IMHO.

I understand that if I want a quite finished Clod, I have to buy Clod2.

It will be nice if, before releasing any kind of sequel, Clod will be finished: it is a matter of respect for those that buy Clod months ago, considering the the actual status of the game. Anyway, I'm sure that Clod2 will be on market before completing Clod.

To be honest, only a fanboy can actually think to buy Clod2: oh, maybe I will buy it, as I bought Clod even if review were awful... but my stupidity - perhaps - is not endless...

That is the whole point.. IL-2 was NEVER FINISHED!

1C kept it alive for 10+ years by providing free updates and paid for updates (sequal)

Thus I wouldn't expect them to change thier track record with CoD..

As a mater of fact I am couting on them not changing thier track record with CoD!

c'mon, It is clear that no one pretend 100 flyable planes, 50 campaigns and so on for Clod.. but actually Clod is an approximative game considering each aspect of the game, so it will be nice if before talking of the sequel some significant (and definitive) improvements will be release. It is a matter of good taste...

Not sure I follow ya?

But know this, the original IL-2 was a Russian front only game.. And the focus was on ground attack, hence the IL-2! As a mater of fact, IL-2 was one of the first flight sims to focus on ground attack, prior to that it was all air to air, but I digress.. The point is each patch and sequal added more to IL-2

Enh.. its a matter of the FACT that flight sims are a niche market IMHO..

We either work with the developers and get what we want in time.. Or we demand something and stand the chance that we get nothing..

Take a look at SH5! Those developers left everyone hanging and no amount of beyaching changed that, as a mater of fact it is MHO that the amount of beyaching only confirmed it demise

In summary.. If I was spending $500 bucks on a flight sim instead of the $50 bucks I do spend, than I think all the whining would be justified by all.. But when you consider you can spend $50 in less than a few hours at the local pub it really puts it into perspective.. At least it does for me!

Long story short, if spending $50 bucks on a game is actually factoring into your 'budget' than I think it would be well advised that those types find another hobby! Something a little more affordable.. Like checkers! One time investment on a board and your good to go until the big dirt nap!
