I heard about this last night from a Squadmate while flying RoF. He posted the link to 1C about it but I've had my fill of the usual crowd of peckers over there so don't venture in any more. MMO ! they must be having a laugh. I would rather flush the cash down the chod bin than pony up for that. Whats the advertising going to be ? 'Bringing a broken game to the masses'.

Personally I hope they do it, if they think the flight sim community is a tough crowd wait 'til they get a load of that lot. I can see it now 'Well, you haven't emptied your cache so you can't expect it to work very well can you ?', 'what do you mean you only have a new Dell laptop, its hardly the games fault that you don't have a £3K computer is it ?', 'don't worry about how it is now, think about how good it will be.....er.....some when'...... Carnage ensues.

Really, it is priceless.

"Clutching at straws" springs to mind.

Might be good?.....

It's almost funny if it wasn't so sad.

So at this time, they are working on patches for COD(laughable) working on and releasing BOM and now trying to release a MMO by 2013?

I'm not sure it's Maddox Games, it's 1C or rather a "dedicated online activities department" of it. Not that I am particularly hopeful about the whole MMO enterprise, but that may be the only reason why the 1C executives haven't closed the MG shop, yet.

This is just hilarious.
Do they really think that anyone is going to drink from the poison chalice a second time?
Not me that's for sure.

Can't believe I'm seeing this post.. I have an awful feeling this will go Pete Tong..
Most guys have been hanging on and hanging on, waiting for the day we can get CLoD in it's full glory. Then the BoM rubbish before we even have CLoD up to full scratch, and now this.. are these people flippin mad?
I haven't played CLoD since October last year, and that is very sad for me, as I have so wanted this bloody thing to be the ultimate WWII flight sim..
God, I don't know what to think now!

Yes but if the MMO is using the COD engine, which i think is correct then it would have to be the same coders right? training a whole new set of developers and releasing in the time scale needed doesn't seem possible.

It's not exactly new news that any kind of "follow on project" depends on a working CloD engine, is it?
