Smells a little fishy to me....

My guess is somebody nailed a dead fish under your nose because everything smells fishy to you.

Care to explain why they haven't cared about supporting DX9 until now then? They have released patches over the last year and not cared about DX9, virtually no complaints over the last year on the forums about not supporting DX9, but now it's "it says so on the box so we have to". Yeah right.

Instead of acting like a jackwad, how about doing some explaining?

Well they have mentioned dx9 for a few months iirc, they were working on dx10 for the patch that brought the new engine to the table now they need to redo the dx9 for that graphic engine....

Come on guys, stop with the bulls#$t of "They will fix it because is in the box" ..... they will fix it because they are thinking in the MMO future project, that´s all, they are thinking in $ , forget about the "meet their obligations" (of the box).
CLOD AND US, ARE GUINEA PIGS FOR THEIR MMO PROJECT, face it.

This. You nailed it....and that's exactly where I was going with this. It's kinda funny that as soon as we catch wind about the MMO, they announce they have to support DX9 "cause it says so on the box" even though they haven't cared about it for the last year.

An MMO means reaching a broader audience
A broader audience means more casual
More casual means lower end computers
It all adds up to DX9 support.

We are just beta testers for the MMO engine that has Luthier and 1C seeing dollar signs as they try to get in on the MMO craze

Wow guys, just wow.

Aer9o, I must say that the way I perceive some of your posts you come across as a self-appointed spokesperson for the general customers. I hope you realize that it's just as rude as taking home a teamsport trophy and adding it to your personal collection. Or ordering dinner in a restaurant on behalf of all of your friends, choosing your favourite dishes, and demanding they pay for it.

It just doesn't work very well. That's my honest feedback to you.

Besides that, ANYTHING other than what Blacksix or Luthier says is pure speculation. For all we know they could be releasing a Naval Warfare sim featuring aliens and gorillas.

I don't know much about laws regarding video-games etc, but I think as long as the game states DX9 is a minimum requirement, any customer that cannot get the game to work because they don't have a >DX9 version is entitled a full refund. Now if that actually happened it would be groundbreaking for this forum, because it would be the very most backed up and valid complaint ever.

I can't imagine the shockwave of destruction for 1C if they pulled a stunt like that.

Also like others have stated, the DX9 effects have to be re-written for DX10 and that might be a good thing. Perhaps we can finally get rid of the dust/smoke FPS drop this game is plagued with. Either way I don't mind waiting for it, mainly because I do other things and play other games. In my signature are a few, but I can really recommend trying falcon BMS. You basically learn to fly and fight with the F-16. You'll surely be occupied until the next patch is released, and you can even check in here inbetween to catch up on progress.

I also enjoy some ArmA 2, RoF, Natural Selection 2, Skyrim, Empire Total War and occasional BF3. Most of those games are at bargain price and will keep you happy while waiting for the patch Since CoD is the best WW2 Flight sim at the moment we have no choice but wait and show our support, or else this genre will die eventually. If 1C fails, maybe other developers will look at them and think that flight sims are only dry wells, slowly being forgotten by the general gaming society.

Just my thoughts..

'$' is the reason most of us get up in the morning, nothing to do with going out into the wide world and making everybody else happy, either way you just agreed they'd fix COD so what difference does it make?

Of course, but you should forget about the "bugtracker", forget about the FM, forget about new missions/campaings, etc .... their priority will not be the bugs reported by us to fix CloD .... their priority will be fix the bugs that we will report, if that bugs are critical for the development of their MMO.

Forget about the FM? so why apparently are we getting revised FM's based on community input? the 100 octane issue was in the bugtracker and it seems the issue is being dealt with, the rest is just your oppinion and based on nothing more than speculation.
