We all want a sim but still keep bitching about it like kids. Sad. Better give it a shot when released rather than biotch about it and not even giving it a chance.

Not strictly correct. Only the name has been transferred to a different engine (not new by any means). Also it will not be DX11 it will be DX9 as stated by Jason. They MAY consider upgrading to Dx11 in the future but as that will be after the 2014 release (barring slippage) we can guess that it may not be Dx11 until say 2016/2018, if ever.

The dislike and hostility is generally an outpouring of anger and grief following the stopping of "SoW" along with the suspicion that BoS will not live up to CoD player's expectations.

The whole of this week following the announcement has been like a funeral.
