a) You didn't say it might be taking advantage of the render, rather assumed it was with no evidence one way or the other.

b) I think wanting to hear some sound is perfectly justifiable.

c) No one is saying spend your money blindly. Most have said "you don't have to buy it day one or even preorder you can wait for reviews and the community assessments."

d) We have seen active play videos that have progressed from slide shows over land to running fairly smoothly over land. Furthermore it's not the game engine that "can't handle 21 bombers" it's current PCs that can't crunch the number of calculations required for 21 bombers.

Please, if you are in doubt don't spend your money before you have more information. I will buy it as soon as it is available to me, and I assure you I will be back here either raising hell or praising the game. No one should demand that you just have utter faith that the developers of any game will do a perfect job or that it will be without fault. We must wait and judge the game on the merits. There will be many many people that will get this day 1 and of them I am sure many will report back to this community with their reviews/complaints/praises.

Your concerns are justifiable, and any reasonable person won't fault you for that.

Mate your points are valid and of course and I wont take it the wrong way :grin:

However, theres no doubt FPS issues have got better since they dropped all the features, but so far we have only seen a few aircraft over land, previous footage showed total lock ups with just one aircraft over land (the russian game show). This still doesn't fill me with confidence for airbattles with 30+ planes. Insuber obviously reads the forums and you can see in his post above that The movies made by the Devs have no bearing what so ever on how well the game will run, the track to video convertor shows fluid frame rate on any PC.

The 21 bombers was tuned for MINIMUM spec machines, quit making out it's a limit for all machines.

Thats the max amount of bombers in the campaign by my understaning, surely you would think that if the game runs well, you would increase the bomber amount and let the users turn down all other details/aspects such as ground textures, AA, and resolution etc, rather than reduce the Battle of Britain to a small fight in a pub!

Lack of real vids and product promotion less than 2 weeks from release
is a real concern.
Has the game not gone Gold yet?
Im defo going to buy Cod,just going to wait a few months until properly
optimised.
Ubi have done a terrible job of promoting Cod.Checked about 20/30 online
game retailers over the past 2 weeks and can only find 2 where Cod is
actually mentioned.
Wish Oleg and the team all the best because we need dedicated pc dev teams
like them to keep pc gaming alive.

Booterboy - you are right, I hope that 1C did a better job in Russia to launch CoD. I don't feel overwhelmed by Ubi's marketing.

Yes, because it was tuned for minimum spec machines.

Are you really expecting to be able to turn up graphics settings on a minimum spec machine? It'll have to run with lowest settings from the off, that's why it's called a minimum spec.

Then you need to take a trip to 'Tree C World' and let me build you a stonking new Rig :grin:

Usually I have no real constructive input to add here but just to give my opinion because I like what I see in the updates but to say:

"some folks should be a little more patient instead of acting like spoiled kiddies every other thread"

is more constructive than what I read from the last update threads in general.

Be happy man...;)

Do you think OM would do anything that would damage sales of this game?

You take a comment made by Luthier and run with it when he was only trying to shut you up.

If you are unhappy, don't buy it

the usual (n -1) pages of guff?
