OMG....... who said SOW will be 100% cinematic?? The year is 2010 not 2030

Unbelievable:roll:

If the game is almost complete, can we get a video update with sound next friday? Please

God, I wish Maddox Games would licence this engine or the models to the creators of the MMO Battleground Europe... or do something similiar by themselves :)

Kurfurst, I do think that Oleg has this in mind for later.

An all encompassing arir/ground/sea MMO from Oleg would indeed be wonderful.

He has a good point though. Compared to recent games, the terrain does look quite bad. I've even seen better terrain textures for Il-2 at this altitude. I'm sure it will be fixed and/or changed, but IMO too much work is being put into ground vehicles which are so detailed, I can't imagine giving a toss about how many rivets they have when I fly past at 300MPH. It's great to see this attention to detail, but I think there are other areas that need more work ATM.

I have my fingers crossed! There is nothing like going on a hunt for A14s with a Sdkfz 232 :)

I have to agree the terrain looks like its been badly painted by a child, who as placed some giant cabbages randomly in fields. Still its early days, and we haven't seen anything in DX10 or 11 yet.

Early days is a good point. Personally, I won't worry too much about the terrain upon release so long as it can be worked on in patches. :cool:

Ok. I went back and re-looked at the first batch of screenies from this week just to see if I'd been drinking too much when I first saw them and that had skewed my perception.

Nope, still look pretty good to me, especially the first pic with the hill in the background.

I will say though that the shots we've seen from ground level do seem overall to look better than those from medium / low altitude, but I think those have been improving too.

Anyway, Hecke - 'crappy' is well over the top.
