Obviously, you don't, otherwise you would have not mentioned that.

Skyrim has a HUGE world. HUGE! Mafia II has physics and damage modelling of cars and weapons. And guess what? It also has collision, on all that HUGE world of it.

Want some other examples? Assassin's Creed games.. also with HUGE worlds, hundreds of buildings, lots of details, collision, hundreds of characters, and so on. Do you know how many animations had the system they've developed for AC1? ANY idea at all? I'll tell you: 10000 animations. Now come and tell me that Il2CoD is more complex than a game that has an animations system for the main character which manages and blends them as beautifully and seamlessly as Ac does.. and I'll tell you you never worked on developing games and you don't have any idea what you're talking about!

Don't talk about thing you don't know.. just because you think, I assume from what you "see", that IL2CoD is more complex than those games, it doesn't make it so!

You can talk about those games all day long, and it is argueable in what way those are more or less complex then CloD. But these games were all released from big studios with propper financial backing and with talents from all over the world. 1C on the other hand is almost at home garage level when it comes to team size. By mere maths they will need much longer then an established studio to get their stuff done, especially when it comes to the standarts CloD wanted to achieve.
Insofar the comparison to those games does not really hold.
