To go with the four steps back as it is summarily dumped and forgotten.

Read Luthier's posts. He wants rid.

>> but either way,<<

No, not either way.

>>the community will now be able start building more immersive and historic Battle of Britain scenarios.<<

Is that the happy-shiny community, or thr well-and-truly-peed-off community? Is there a CLod community?

>>The future for COD is starting to look very bright,<<

Yes, the future's Orange. Ooops, wrong thread.

>> especially when the SDK is released<<

Umm, yeah.

Surely a diamond-encrusted twirling baton by now? You've earned it, by jimminy.

Ok then I'll see you in the skies hugging your bombers and not diving to chase me! I can't wait for our next simulated fight!


Yeah. That's my point. If you are going to "simulate" then let's go the whole 9, otherwise you have just tipped the balance of a pvp online GAME. Even further than it was already scued.

It doesn't explain the lack of hedgerows, colours, field shapes etc which were pasted in bucket-loads on this forum anyway. The camera is useful in showing the geometry of the country, and as a resident the game could be better.

Stop being difficult David.

I imagine that they will most likely never change the map, and so a question for you. Do you think if they offered hedgerows of various shapes in the objects list, would that help.

I do appreciate the communication of the developers to the paid customers to give some hope to the future...

[Codex]

I've got a good feeling about this patch.

There is a map builder type SDK planned which will allow the community to make smaller maps. I would think the same tool could be used to adjust existing developer maps. The developer only wants to deter the community from making larger maps that they plan to develop themselves. On that note its quite possible that in the future the community will be able to take trees out, add hedgerows, and other adjustments that will greatly improve the overall look of COD's terrain.

Thanks for the update. I hope the patch lives up to the expectation.

Looks nice but what happened to the shadows in the new shot?
