Why do you run CloD on XP?

[pupo162]

this is offtopic somehow, but since this is where you are going to end:

from the, pc requirements:
--- OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows® 7 / Vista SP2 / Windows XP SP3---

meaning this that they just cant driop XP support once they said it will work its unnethical and against the law. It would be like selling you a Car who runs on hidrogen, promiss you the support to give you the fuel, and then 6 months later stop giving a fuel you cant buy anywhere else.

but yes, you are right, i do recommend everyone upgrading to seven, tough XP is clearly more practical, good looking, effective and less fagish, seven does boost your pc performence considerably.

Yeah, I'm painfully aware of this and that XP can be dropped earliest at the release of an addon or new version of the game.
I'm just curious of why one out of five still run XP despite the boost one gets with W7.

Also, I wouldn't mind an elaborated comment from the dude at 1C/UBI that made the decision to support XP and DX9 in a 2011 game.
Compare to BF3 (released 7 months after CloD) that skipped XP/DX9 (another ballgame and customer base, I know).
This game is so demanding that 1C by indirection forced us to upgrade our hardware.

In my eyes the support for XP/DX9 is a big hinder in the developers ambitions to make the best CFS even better with more eye candy and functionality.
Without XP/DX9 support we'd probably already be flying in the wonderful world of DX11 technology (tessellation etc) and have working SLI and free beer and naked women etc.

I'll stop the rant now.
