I only can think about World of Tanks right now. And I really can´t see how this can compete with WoT for the arcade player.

Easy..

WoT will get old fast.. except for the pure Quake types.. but for the rest it will get old fast

Note WoT does not even have internals (cockpits).. It is all done from externals..

And don't forget the RO guys! The only reason I got RO and RO2 was for tanks.. And from the videos thus far CoD's tanks are as realistic as RO and RO2 tanks..

And don't forget the WWII Online guys.. Same as RO and RO2, CoD looks to be on par wrt realism. So there are alot of other games CoD could pull memebers away from.

It's amazing how Battlefield 3 can stay in business without having to include any resource mining like in Minecraft.

Strange how Starcraft 2 can make a mint, without having to include a racing element to it.

How FSX can make a ton of money over the past decade without having to include a First person shooter portion to it.

So why does CLOD have to include Tanks to survive? It could be cool, but maybe once they actually finish the game. And I'm not even talking about bugs, but actually finish the game so one would classify it as a finished product. Right now the thing is closer to a Beta content wise.

Didn't say that you did or didn't. Just explaining my point of view, while using your post as a frame of reference for the topic.

It would be interesting to see how many who object to these new features were the same ones who thought it would be so cool to be able to sneak behind enemy lines when their plane was shot down? Two or three years ago when the tanks and AA were shown, there was a cadre of people clamouring for this, and now it's the end of CoD.

Time will tell how well this implements into the game, but it doesn't mean it's at the expense of CoD. I look at it as a vote of confidence to the users of CoD that 1C and this game isn't going any where.

If within the next few months some of the missing features or improvements that would make the game more enjoyable aren't corrected or at least updated through the Friday updates, then I'll worry. Until now I'm enjoying the prospects of fututre gaming and the fact that 1C/CoD isn't going any where. I hope i'm not proven wrong. I don't think I will be.

Glad I bought my second copy the other day.

Well based on 1C's track record CoD will never be finished..

Sequals will come out that add content and update features and fix bugs..

Thus never really finished

Which is a good thing imho

I don´t see WoT getting old fast... They have a small game that can be easily upgraded ( and they are doing it a lot ) with a incredible big point being free. I think CoD is going to get old much faster as it gets a lot more work to upgrade and patch ( we know this very well ). About the realism... they are talking about the tank gameplay is going to be arcade and what I see in the video feels a lot like an old graphics WoT really. I don´t think they plan to have tanks interiors. So no, it looks like the tank gameplay is not going to be "sim"... and that´s my post about.

With some of the largest tank battles (with air support) occuring on the Eastern Front, having the option to be in the air or on the ground could make for a very diverse gaming experience. I remain ever optomistic, thanks BS.

Well I guess we will have to agree to disagree.. But there is still RO, RO2, WWIIOnline that CoD with tanks could attract imho.

Who said this? The developers haven't as far as I can see. There is selectable ammo types (look top left) and what looks like grouping in flak. We will have to wait and see.

We've already seen interiors in video two (controllable vehicles)- you can see inside the armoured car interior when driving, same with the car. Bren on top is in a turret that is modelled.

It is a flight sim?
