Are you comparing the texture trees the ones that cover large areas against the individual trees we have in COD? Sorry, apples and oranges. Remember at the time IL2 was released we had Pentium IIIs and 4 along with ATI 9800s. Sure the invisible trees is a pain but from Alt they look fine and in fact do a much better job than the handful of trees we have now that Kill FPS dramatically. Go back and read the patch notes. Trees = FPS Killer. I have several times the horse power now and the new trees don't really look at that much better and they Flicker to boot. Talk about nonesense.

Again not that much of a difference and at the cost of Performance. COD is a PIG right now.

Better planes... You mean the handful that are flyable? Sure the Models are nicer but not that much different than some of the latest fromt the Mod groups. The people are much better looking but again at what cost to performance?

Great for a shooter and Physics... Any CPU cycle spent on animating a Wheel over terrain is a waste of time. The game is just now becoming playable even on VERY high end rigs.

Like what specifically? The special effects are subtle at best. Heck the dang sound doesn't even work properly. Crappy IL2 sounds to boot.

You're right it is a joke at this stage of the game. I wouldn't even consider it to be a fully funtional a game yet. It's beta with many many things missing. QMB? There is more funtionality in IL2 QMB when it was released in 2001 than COD has here in 2011.

Take a look at DCS A10c. It's a DX9c game that is doing WAY more than IL2 COD which is a DX10 game and runs much nicer and it even has Cockpit shadows and HDR to boot. As I said before if you can have all that eye candy and it performs you have my attention. Right now COD is on my hard drive ready for the next few patches before I will look at it again. It's missing way too much content and it has a long way to go before I would consider it to be Viable. It's and early Beta. Guy salavating over the graphics need to go back and look at SAS and UP3.0 RC before they throw the baby out with the bath water. COD is not all that and a hand bag.
