Drawing a line under COD, clean start?

[hiro]

Yeah time to let things go,

It sucked the game was released as it was. But I was confident they'd fix it to a 1946 level, but I was mad that its (Clod) the last patch and IMO I wish they'd keep plugging along to update it. However the devs did give their reasoning and its fair.



Yeah so its a new slate from here on out . . .




The sequel brings a lot of hope, after all it contains the IL-2, new stuff / features, and a working (hopefully) game engine, and possibly a/c like the p-40, early yaks, migs, the I-16 etc. I can't wait for the I-16, that little tough plane was great for griefing if one flew it correctly.





But it isn't the final goodbye for CloD.

Q
I know you stated the next CloD patch will be the last, so that means any fixes, advances and such into the game engine that come from the sequel will not be translated at some time or another back into CloD? Will Clod be completely abandoned in whatever state the final patch leaves it with no hope small updates, etc?


A
Why would you think that? We’ve never done that before, and I’ve always stated that our plans remain the same. There were many issues in the original IL-2 in 2001. After a few updates to the original, Forgotten Battles was released and there were no more updates to the original Il-2. That doesn’t mean it was abandoned however! You can still play all of the original Il-2 content with 1946, all carried over and updated with the rest of the engine.
