After reading the "animal" posts....? I'd say that CloD has hit rock bottom... Good Post Furbs....Seems like the warden is running the asylum here.
If CloD were an Ere_tile Dysfunction med? Nobody would "get off" the ground. Further, 14 months after "taking it"? The duct tape and splint patch ain't very fun. So, what ya got now? A bunch of folks sporting a male member, that looks like a "skinned squirrel".

Do you mean the inmates are running the asylum here rather than warden? The warden running the asylum is actually what's meant to happen I think. Also, apologies if the jokes are a bit too much. I understand for some it is a serious matter, and not a laughing matter.

Could you condense that Furbs, way too many words Here's you go: +1, itz a gr8 flight of fantasy......but purely a dream, especalE considering whr we R @ presnt.

lIk I sed n my previous post, I M not militantly opOzD 2 it, az such, I jst don't cAR. itz fiN & dandy az lng az I git a finishD CoD. I M :-) 2 tAk thR wrd dat DIS wiL b d case, & L%k 4ward 2 dat dA. Really, itz quite apparent dat it wiL b L 2 modders wen d SDK cum outs 2 recreate NEthing evN approaching an immersive BoB.....which iz wot I bought d tng 4 (crazy, I knO lol)....Like a lot of othR folks too, obviously.
We do not hav NE idea whatsoever dat 1c plan NE kind of grandiose strategic element 2 this.....Since dey apparently Cnot evN cum ^ w a Chain om radar network & German radar equivalents on d strategic side of things (despite it bn talked bout by Oleg ages ago....Like mNE things), whch 1 wud tink rather important n somTIN whch purports 2 b a simulation of d BoB; Y do U tink dey cn cum ^ w somTIN az complex az d presumably dynamic, aL inclusive strategic sim elements U R musing on? wot hapnd 2 crwling b4 U wlk. d possibility of such a thing? Fantastic. My f8th n thR ability 2 do so on curNt evidence, @ present? Sadly, negligible.
az 4 'the majority R supportive of this', 2 wot extensive mrkt rEsrch R U alluding, blackdog? itz jst dat I & mNE others don't remMbR bn askd a tng lol. Only a v sml # of customers regularly frequent d forums, hardly representative overall. itz sAf 2 assume methinks a majority didn't GIV a monkeys bout tanks & jeeps, & dat wz problE d lst tng on thR mind wen dey bought CoD.....hehe.
It mA b dat we wiL git radar @ a l8r date, f so datz great, bt my overwhelming impression iz dat CoD iz bn v discreetly shoved in2 a corner (out of cite out of mind) & dat doesn't rly wash w a lot of people, itz jst dat only a few hav d moxy 2 sA it cuz dey wiL invariably b attacked.
I'm not hEr 2 argue, itz jst an opinion, & itz fiN dat others disagree. I'm also not a killjoy, f ppl wnt 2 run rownd n thR poxy tanks thN lt them......Have & knock yerselfs out lol. jst GIV us coRec performance data blu & red, ceilings, decent AI, systems bugs fixD working AA etc & SDK, thN I'm :-) az larry. dat remains 2 b seen.....but hOp springs eternal.

Again, 4 posterity, not opOzD 2 it so lng az flight simulation iz d overwhelming focus, I'm :-) dat others lIk it, I jst sadly Cnot share n o relate 2 thR boundless joy.

See his previous comments a few pages earlier to see what was being replied to.

I liked what I saw. I can see the tank boys coming to attack my home field with some air cover. I have to help defend my own field.

Sometimes it makes me sad, that those people get the same gains from the updates as the stout supporters, despite their attitude.
What, are you supposed to be required to like the game before you get to play it?

The truth is, I really wanted the ability to deploy into Britain German FPS Para's disguised as Nuns, with explosive chastity belt 'power ups' and the ability to poison the British water supply with 'Holy water' which is actually really a powerful neurotoxin hidden in special 'bonus areas' of the map by fifth columnist Nazi sympathising traitors. The figure head of this organisation being SpitGirls evil twin sister, Helga the Horrid distinguishable by her wooden legs, and merciless, unseeing, glass eyes. Oh my gosh, the possibilities! People who didn't want to read such a long post could'a missed this... The internet has a suprising amount of literature on like subjects (it turns out) eg.: "Everyone knows that nuns are secretly kick-ass ninjas. Thanks to the Sound of Music, we know that all Austrian nuns were trained in ninjitsu to fight the Nazis in the Second World War. What is not commonly known, however, is that for years now the Vatican has been training an elite squad of ninja assault nuns. [...] Even if you manage to derobe and disarm a ninja assault nun, their deadly martial-arts skills enable them to cut you apart with their bare hands, bene Gesserit Style. Thankfully, due to an unfortunate time loop with a parallel universe, the ninja assault nun does not exist yet. They can, however, be bought on Ebay. See - Ninja assault nuns preparing to sing 'the hills are alive', their terrifying battle chant." Extensive market research has shown that what gamers want in a flight sim is dromedaries.
Then we can have MMOCR - massively multiplayer online camel racing.
Oh my! That would be awesome. It'd never occurred to me until now - but it is one of those ideas which you know 'must be a good idea' them moment you see it! *I'd* actually pay for a Camel racing sim. Maybe there could be a Camel dance mini-game (I never really got into Camel dancing before). I liked what I saw. I can see the tank boys coming to attack my home field with some air cover. I have to help defend my own field. It actually happened during the war a couple of times. I seem to recall some Ju-87Gs taking out the last light tanks of a Soviet armoured penetration group just as they reached the airfield. There was also the case of Bf-110s landing to use their gunners as support weapons for paratroopers during the Norway invasion...

We wretched ingrates (AKA concerned and constructive critics, as opposed to the Sim equivalent of a Stepford Wives convention lol) are not worthy, Nimits. We must accept our place without argument, and repent of our folly....For not being particularly enamoured with half finished games, and 'Clown Car' MkIV Jeeps. Just what we always wanted. *cough, splutter* The internet has a suprising amount of literature on like subjects (it turns out) eg.: "Everyone knows that nuns are secretly kick-ass ninjas.

See - Ninja assault nuns preparing to sing 'the hills are alive', their terrifying battle chant." You've got it nailed Av (almost), Ninja Paratroop Nazi Nuns FTW!.....Which was actually the next installment in the storyline, but requires a pre-purchase unlock code to experience. Lets not allow wanton creativity to get in the way of the fact that this is a business. Still not sure how you managed to get your hands on the script. Hmmmm, time to call my agent, and possibly lawyer, methinks.

Now about these dromedaries...Would they be the one hump variety or the two hump variety? The community voted and decided on one hump. Adding the second hump would take to much time, thats desperately needed to fix the FM.

For starters PR has always been the red-headed stepchild of MG and with Luthier at the helm it's only gotten worse so I guess they don't want to invest more than the bare minimum of time. Interesting CsThor, we've both been around for a long time - however, my view is a little different: I thought Oleg was usually brilliant in his personal style and PR back in the post-release heyday. Things just deteriorated after 2007... I don't think this was a company strategy but Oleg's personal style. There was no "conscious thought" behind it, it was more like an instinctual thing since Oleg put too much "blood & sweat" into it. PR-wise Maddox Games was always not particularly creative - we never got more than screenshots and more or less cryptic statements, often less than substantial ones at that. They were never comparable to what Jason does at ROF (which I find most informative and upfront).

The "doom'n'gloom" - "glass half empty" party is even more present here, then in the 1c forum.

Imo, of course. Ahh yes...robtek swoops in now and then with one of his "hit and run" posts that makes everyone feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's a shame that it saddens you that opinions are allowed to be discussed, both positive and negative. Not everyone bought COD in the hopes that they would be able to drive a tank. It's kinda silly to discuss it in depth when the flight sim aspect of the game isn't up to snuff yet. This is not the usual debate that has been done to death, this is a new issue about buying a flight sim and having it being turned into something else. It's going to be discussed, get over it...IMO

They were never comparable to what Jason does at ROF (which I find most informative and upfront). Luthier definitely has a more confrontational style than Oleg had. I personally don't think thats a bad thing, although I preferred Oleg's style. Jason bought the ROF franchise from the Russian developers and can communicate in English much better than the COD developers. Usually developments on a shoe string budget don't get into advertising, and advertising such an incomplete product would probably not be the best strategy at the moment. The original Il-2 didn't advertise either, but eventually cornered the WW2 combat flight sim market, and most of the market bought COD on reputation alone. I can definitely see the new series start a serious advertising campaign in five to ten years, when they have developed a combined forces sim that they could market to a much larger audience, that might make the advertising costs worth while.

I think that'll be way too late, Luthier isn't so far ahead of others as he think. Maybe ED applied the ground war on a more reasonable level? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=81589While I do see use for First-person-AAA, I'm not so sure about first-person-tanks.

Turned into something else? New issue? No wonder people are soo upset. No one even researched the title they bought in the 1st place. The ground war stuff has been in the works for years. Why do some of you people think the sim is magically changing from what the initial scope was? I really wish some people would take the time and at least research the sim before pounding their chest saying it's not what they paid for. If you didn't want drivable vehicles perhaps you should have complained about them 2 years ago, or even better, maybe you could've complained about it when you saw in the controls section was an area dedicated to just for vehicles. I mean, here's your sign lol. All these forums are straight up comedy gold. Thanks to all of those that add to them.

That is a modern warfare combined forces sim which isn't the market that the COD developer is interested in, or that most WW2 simmers are interested in. Time will tell if a combined forces sim would work on the new IL-2 engine, the maps and terrain will be decent and large, but it depends on the ability of the game engine to provide the features that would attract WW2 tankers.
