You left out a key part of Phat's quote

Which I think even you will admit changes things a tad

Which is how RoF does it.. Basically when RoF comes out with a patch, the patch contains all the new features (planes, scarfs, etc) but you will not be able to make use of any of those features until you go online and buy those features which in turn un-locks the code in the patch for you to make use of them.

True

The last time Luther spoke about this he said CoD sequals would follow in the footsteps of IL-2 sequals

Where you would have to allready own CoD and the sequal would be an addon which includes 'upgrades' and new 'features'

In this case BoM being the new featrues as in planes, maps, etc.

In the past that was a seperate CD/DVD, but what with STEAM involved, it could work much in the same way RoF does it.
