Does everybody really want to be conned into spending another 60$ on a bug ridden, half finished game? They HAVE to fix COD, otherwise no one will buy the sequel.

Simple as that

Well, a free demo will convinces everyone, be sure. A demo is advertising for itself as well...

And yes, I plan to invest another 60 bucks. The time I spent on this forum alone excedes hobby-investments I paid more for and spent way less time with it!
If you think like that, you get a lot for 60 bucks!

And PS: If you think you will spend those 60 bucks for another unfinished game it must mean you don´t think they will manage it to get it right in this time... If so, why do you believe they can fix CloD?

product lifespan is short, a failed product is a dead product

Well, the situation is pretty much like what happened to Total War series. Empire Total war was one of the most anticipated games of the year, reviewers gave it very high scores, but when gamers actually got their hand on it, they got massively disappointed due to bugs and gameplay issues. CA released some patches which did virtually nothing, then drop the game altogether. They turned to the sequel, Napoleon Total war, which was nothing but a polished version of ETW with new units. Fortunately, this time they did it right as most bugs of ETW were squashed. New game in the series, Shogun 2, won back the love of fans, and now they (me included) are so excited about the new project: Rome 2.

Just an example to say that: sometimes it is better to leave the past behind and start everything from scratch. Surely CloD does not live up to its expectations, but the game does show its potentials. I hope that BOM will be a much better product. But of course I agree with you at one point: if BOM stays broken as its ill-fated prequel, the series is pretty much dead.

This is a great example, it would be great if they manage to turn the table around with the sequel.

I would immediately (and I will) pay for the sequel, in order to see the progress done.
I know, some people in this forum would say I should not pay again for something that was supposed to have been fixed at first place (paying only once), I do not care about such comments, I am only interested in having the most advanced WW2 flight simulation and CoD is obviously the best platform with the biggest potential in the market today.

Completely agree.

Also agree with rga on his observations of Empire Total War ... You could have been talking about me mate! ...Empire was a massive disappointment and I never bought Napoleon...Shogun 2 won me back though and I am looking forward to Rome 2. Hopefully MG can do the same with customers they have lost.

I totally disagree with the Empire and Clod analogy.

From my enjoyment of the game, the huge amount of mods and the constant patches received, I think maybe your perception of the general success of the Empire vs Clod is a bit off.

Just go to TWCentre and see the difference in the communities and decide whether Empire was such a huge flop.
