Anti-Aliasing

:confused:Can we expect AA to ever work in CoD? I mean really, a modern PC game designed specifically for the PC and AA doesnt work even after several patches? Its not like the sim is terribly pretty as it is, and the difficulty in identifying aircraft at longer ranges is made far more difficult by the fact that every surface of the aircraft is jagged and broken until 200 yards away.

Given how disappointing PC games have been lately, and I mean ALL of them, maybe I should just sell my computer and buy 4 playstation 3's. One to play games on and the other three to frame and put on the wall in various rooms of the house with the words "Death of the PC" engraved underneath them.

^ (What does that even mean?) I guess I'm just pissed off at all the fail going around the industry lately. I sure hope this sim is running tip-top before the US release, otherwise I will be stuck playing with the only other two people playing online at any given time. 16 days, thats how much time we have to get a fully working(Fullscreen and AA anyone?) and stutter free sim. If that doesnt happen then I think this franchise in its current form is going to die off very quickly for lack of consumer support followed quickly by lack of developer support. Dont hate me for what I say, its all just opinions. Now, does anyone have 4 PS3's to trade for a nice computer?

Try DCS A10 ! I parked COD since its a huge letdown and got A10 instead and god what an awsome game it is. World of difference :)

I think that part of the current problem is the advanced use of shaders being implemented in this sim. It is apparently not nearly as simple as it used to be to apply AA in a modern game. For a bit more of a technical explanation, and examples of the various methods employed, have a look at http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/anti-aliasing-nvidia-geforce-amd-radeon,2868.html I am currently running in full screen mode, but notice no improvement over the basic 2xAA, even when forcing it in the driver. It appears as though that this is all that it is currently capable of.

One other strange thing I have found is the application of ‘Morphological’ AA – it’s supposed to have a minimal impact on frame rates as it isn’t ‘true’ AA, but has a marked impact on fps in this case, and doesn’t look very good either.

And don’t give up on CoD just yet; I don’t know if you have witnessed the improvements to date, but they have been impressive (maybe not individually, but overall). I am enjoying the single player enormously, but haven’t tried on-line (no local servers yet). From this I can only deduce that it will be much better before too long!
