What are your settings?

I think the problem is that people are greedy for graphics these days. It is a terrible headache for many, myself included, to go from something ludicrously beautiful like Crysis 2 to spending £40 on a game where you have to turn almost everything off. People saw the specs and thought they could get away with having everything on high etc.... which, of course, they could not.

I learnt a valuable lesson with CloD, using my HD 6770, that graphics do not make a game! Gameplay makes a game! And what a lot of gameplay this gorgeous little beast (RIP) has/had!

I really do feel, now I've had the upgrade, that an awful lot of the "problems" with CloD were far more to do with our hardware and the expectations from system specs on the box than they ever were with the actual program itself.

Now I have the gameplay AND the bells and whistles and, it has to be said.... this sim was a masterpiece! A slightly shaky masterpiece, sure.... but, as my original point stated.... how great it could be running now if the dev team hadn't been saddled with trying to make the engine fit the expectations on the box.

Absolutely right on
