No, you see, you're asking for something that makes absolutely no sense and serves absolutely no purpose.

If we record a video with fraps, it won't give you any idea of the performance since fraps cuts the FPS in half.

If we record a video with our built-in track-to-video converter, that records videos at a fluid framerate on any machine in the world.

Finally, the game is still being optimized and we're improving the graphics and making it slower at the same time. We are hoping that you'd get improved framerates and improved graphic quality in release compared to any benchmarks we run today.

I seriously honestly don't understand what you need. We've released minimum and recommended specs. The better your machine, the better your framerate at a higher resolution with more FSAA.

And I'm also very interested in the 64-bit-on-release question.

I don't know, I'll need to ask the graphics crew on Monday.

What's the 64-bit question? A lot of us run Win7 64-bit however we haven't done any benchmarks comparing 64-bit to 32-bit performance.

I think he's asking how much GB the exe can address, max.

Thank you for the answer.

The 64 bit question is the following.

Will you ship a 64 bit .exe on release which allows CoD to use more Ram than with 32 bit.

Hi luthier, one more try then I will give up, you have said that you cannot fly over towns/cities/airfields on your PC because of its limitations. Ok, fair enough, what I am asking is can you fly over those same places with a better PC than yours, (a high end PC if you like) without the slow down your current PC suffers. Forget showing me a video a simple yes or no answer will be fine. I really cant put it much more simple than that.

So you're asking is a faster pc faster?

[philip.ed]

I think he just wants to know if it's possible. I'd imagine it is, the team wouldn't make it so it wasn't, but who knows

Exactly. They aren't going to release something that no-one can play, so it's perfectly reasonable to assume that an average pc can fly over cities; possibly with the graphical effects turned down a bit.

To go on and on about it, however, whilst being rude to the developer ('one more try then I will give up/I really cant put it much more simple than that' - does he think he's speaking to a child?) and trying to imply that the developer is trying to trick us in some way, is the mark of an asshole.

And yes, I did say that Tree is an asshole. He irritates the vast majority of us and I for one wish he could be permanently banned, and have requested it before and will no doubt do so again.

Hey Oleg! While you're here, will there be a Luftwaffe trainer aircraft available at release? Cheers!

was the bf-108 not used as a trainer?

evening guys,
really disappointed to read some posters on here being really rude in their questions to the development team.
most of us want to see hd vids etc of CoD in action,be patient and have manners,we are very lucky to have a dev team who interact with their customers.
i for one would rather have oleg and the team finish their hard work without
having to deal with (some)impatient kids on this forum.
just wait another few weeks,it will be worth it.
