I just don't understand why certain people always hop in, unprovoked, and start to bash people who actually can't ignore multiple game-breaking issues. This very false sense of pride requires at least 3 rose-colored glasses stacked on top of each other.

And before anyone's asking: I am still here to see what can be made of this "abandoned battlefield". After all, I've paid for the game, too.

Why would you think that improved AI Commands in the Sequel won't work on the Channel map. Of course they will, along with the new GUI, Weather/clouds, FM, AI, new features, etc, etc, not to mention using the map SDK to improve the Channel Map.

There are far more important problems than weathering. Related to skins is the bug that skins eat up bullet holes, one moment you have a plane full of holes, next time you look, holes are gone!

This early screenshot of CloD basically describes it in a nutshell.

Honestly? No. My attention is outside the aircraft, and 99% of the time, I'm trying to look around the wings, not at them. It's like driving your car. You can technically see the hood (what do brits call it? The bonnet?) but do you ever actually look at it while driving? Nope.

I can barely tell the difference between the skins that the OP posted and the current skins, because it's just not that important to me.

All you have to do is look at the latest crop of Call of Duty games to see what happens when you value graphics over gameplay.

Who said anything about valuing gameplay over graphics?

Here is just the difference between two types of weathering in CLOD, one looks better than the other.

Simples.

Only small problem is that the sequel wont be in until late 2013 or 2014. Its 2012 now.

I know the release date hasn't be announced yet, but como`n, does anyone believe it will get here earlier.

Adding to that, the SDK, well, wasn't that suppose to be included in the original release, or there a bouts? (translation: who knows when)

The sequel wont be 2014, its not financial viable. If they left it that long they would all be living in cardboard boxes.

Spring to Summer 2013.
Place your bets!...

I agree with you. I suspect that the team is much further along than anyone here thinks they are. I doubt that the guys in suits who dole out the money for the project would have kept the tap running if they were not.

Well, I for one don't play the game anymore, the sandblasted weathering being one of many reasons why. No need to bash the game still, I'm glad a lot of people now seem happier than ever with the game, good for them.

[ElGringo]

It seems some people here would like to know how to put back the old weathering effet in the game. Could you please tell us?
