As luthier as said this will only create a slide show hence the game review score will ultimately be very low.

You are twisting his words, as this is pretty much the opposite of what Luthier has said. He's using a mid-range computer which is not able to run the game in full detail over cities. Now can you tell me any other sim which did not require a high-end system for high-end settings?

Looks like you just can't let go off you agenda. And in case you missed it, the system specs you were demanding so vehemently have been released recently.

Besides, reviewers usually test games on several configurations to check the performance, as this information is normally part of a review. You think they need detailed instructions without which they are stuck? Ridiculous.

To make it simple, I think that what many people want to know is what requirements exist in order to play the game in maximum settings.

As far as I know this is known to developers for the initial release, but nevertheless, it's not their obligation to announce it a couple of months before the release and then have people cursing them because their setup doesn't play perfectly well the game.
Developer's job is to deliver the game. Our job is to play it, with whatever means we have available and I'm 110% sure that within a week of the release, we'll have plenty of official, but mostly unofficial, reviews with the game being tested in several settings. And things will take their way from then on and so will the patches.

I do understand people's frustration, afterall I'm one of them holding my buy for a new pc (and I know that my old pc won't make it for CoD...), but that's life, you can't have everything. Some will play the game from Day 1 and some will play it a few weeks later, when they manage to setup a new rig, able to unleash CoD's power

What matters in the end, is that still the best pilots will be shooting the less skilled ones, whatever setup anyone has
