I just zoomed in on google maps somewhere near the channelcoast and actually it looks much more like CoD than the demo.......but i dunno if the fields were also ploughed back then(probably) also?

Jesus Christ almighty you guys should campaign for a whinging sport to be added to the Olympics I am sure we would have the bronze, silver, and gold medal winners on this forum... Surely you have something better to do than constantly bitching....

I never saw the point in crying over something that don't exist. This has been beaten to death a hundred times.

You don't have it, you won't have it, you'll never get it!!!!

If you like that vid, you might want to look up the Mysticpuma vid too.(il have a look round for it)

Don't get me wrong, COD landscape has its good points, particulary the topography/elevation and grass/field rendering at low alt.

However, pause the vid at 1.34-5, I'm telling you now, hand on heart it is pretty much bang on perfect....... it would be great if we could have something like this back. It truly is far more accurate.

I'm sure its not 'mission impossible' to do.....even short term you can make small tweaks (like darker trees) and change the landscape pallete, it would make a world of difference. If the tree placement (which is much more accurate and convincing in the vid) is too much work at present then maybe it could be done in small increments and that would be better than nothing.

Either way, once the SDK is released I'm sure the modders will sort it out anyway. It's a very valid gripe I'm afraid, and certainly not pointless whinging. It is important that when you are flying over something that purports to be England, that it....errr.....actually looks something like England. As per the vid. Just saying......don't hate me for my beliefs, chaps (which just so happen to be completely correct lol ).

lol i love the way people think the SDK will do everything. I'm almost certain an SDK for this game will be quite limited, but i could be wrong of course.

Perhaps Pickle....you may be right. I have no idea what the SDK will allow, like I have no idea if working AA amongst other things will be featured. People keep asking (nicely) but the silence is deafening.

the new engine has its own advantages, but nobody can convince me about the tree placing,lack of hedgegrows and colours.advanced lightening system..???have you looked at the tree's colours?i flew over pink fields,which turn into dark green when you go down low.
of course the appearance of grass when you fly down low is amazing,and also that they modeled every leaf(although thats insane,they better should have positioned each tree).but as soon as you are 100meters above them,.... honestly they look funny,thats the best i can say about them.the position of them is a pain in the a..,not even to mention that you can fly through them like casper the little ghost.
improved engine?why does the game look worse in many aspects than it did with the old engine?s
