It was a bit like the original, launch a game that would just get better and better as the technology improved to run it and by the arrival of 1946 it was a happy cohesion of technology and software.
However Cliffs of Dover (COD) seems to have suffered from the lack of the highest end rigs being owned by potential purchasers, this has lead to a rash of poor reviews and games returned, additionally, the min spec on the box struggles to run the game at even slideshow speeds….

The prices have already crashed on the new game that has taken so long to come to the market place, all be it to early, and the reviews are killing it too. A user modded version of 1946 actually comes close to rivalling COD in game play and beats it hands down in the sound department, top this off with stupid things like none SLI support on launch and it was doomed to failure from the start, additionally, you had to download it from Steam and it had 2 passwords required simply to play it, ( a patch has since taken care of one of them), even buying the game in a box you still were required to download to allow it to run, an insidious new development of late in the games industry, why if one purchases a product to run offline, must one have to have the facility to go on the web to download or verify the product prior to using it….. all that does is encourages hacking to bypass that little puppy….

Good game but with a lot of offering and designed for the future…… Unfortunately without thinking of the customer market you are aiming to sell it to in the present……..
