![]() I agree it's aircraft - environment (clouds/weather) - landscape - units... In my eyes, I would rather have them making perfect cockpits and so far they look amazing... I wonder if in a few years we will look at the CoD cockpits and say how bad they look compared to the latest ones, like we did with the original game ![]()

Game objects, be they other aircraft, hedges, fields, clouds, trees, ships, trains, buildings, infrastructure, all conspire to create the illusion of the virtual world the developer is trying to create so he can call it a product and sell it. I'm all for more planes and cockpits, but I also want a believable, even convincing environment in which to fly those planes in. Of course there has to be a balance, and at the moment I think we're all in agreement that content has to take the back seat while the game is, er, optimised.
Even so, the Channel without a variety of shipping or England without hedges is like Holland without dykes, or Austria without the Alps, or France with soap, and it is not convincing, and it's a bit of a shame that it looks like that is how it's going to stay unless somebody else does it, but there we are. |
