It's really fun: we have an 1:1 map of BOB scenario, filled with towns, roads, railroads, forest, all elevations, rivers, cliffs, landmarks, etc, but it's all "crap or poor landscape"... My God! Listen to your words!
Some just don't deserve the work made in this title. Never in my life I saw so negative people! You make me a little sick...  |
If we make you sick then throw up.
Anyway, I said MOST of my flying. I may go down to tree-top levels, but not to the extent that I can see individual leaves. Use your brain man! In any case, trees with hit-boxes are completely necessay for crash-landings, because otherwise it just ruins the immersion when you see that Oak-tree coming into view, thinking to yourself 'damn, I'm going to hit it' and then you crash right through it without a scratch.
It's great having this map, but improvements can be made. What you're adovating is that if you had a car that could drive, that's the only purpose it serves. Have you got a CD player in your car? Are your seats heated? Do they need to be?! No, but it's a nice luxury. A beautiful landscape really adds to the immersion. If you live in England, and see a terrain in CloD that looks like any country other than Blighty, it doesn't really stir any patriotic attachments.
@Orpheus, I can see what you mean. The reason I think the terrain is still partially WIP is because of the issues the team had with incorporating speed-tree. It's caused them issues, and I imagine that they would want to look into it. And when they do look into it, hopefully they will assess the other terrain 'issues' as well. When the SDK is released (or if it is released) hopefully there will be a mjor modding effort to really bring this terrain up to photo-realistic standards. Oleg promised it, and hasn't really delivered.
