In that case, the last update which was supposed to fix issues is 9 months old, so the devs didn't fix anything in 9 months, if we ignore the alpha/beta patches.

That would probably look worse than considering the latest alpha and beta patches as "official" (are they even unofficial?) releases.

This sim is good and probably even worth its money (i think i bought it for 25 EUR or so). Posting screenshots and videos (specially recorded, because they wouldn't look smooth if you would record them in real time) of it and then saying it's great is kind of like wearing very pink glasses here, because that doesn't mean that the sim IS great. It just looks great, aslong as you visit forums and watch screenshots and videos. But as soon as you boot it up, it's not great anymore.

I'm convinced that this sim will be great in a few months or years, but it certainly has not reached that level yet.

COD is the best unfinished sim I've ever played. ;). You have too expect a number of features, and optimizations not to work with an unfinished sim. Atleast the devs are still working and the beancounters are still supporting the sim. That said their days must be numbered unless something good happens soon with the code optimizations.

In my view, nothing at all. In my view the community itself is responsible for the current 'negative vibe'.

The game/sim which produced those videos in the OP's post is still there.

Just roll back to the last official version and start making movies. :)

Really, Dutch? I do respect you and most of the posters in this forum, but, please, do me a tiny favour: step out the melée, walk away for a few seconds just to get a good perspective, look around and back in time and tell me, from that privileged point of view: who did start the fire?.

From my heart and for what I have realised till now, the very initial match wasn't ignited on the 'payers' side. Was it?

Oh I have. And not just for a few seconds. You'll notice I said 'start making movies'. ;)

Most of the venom on the forums are from people who have a hard time with this, not to mention how long its taking to get finished. Unfortunately patience in todays generations is not our strong suit. I think our investment convinced the beancounters to keep spending major dollars to finish the development, so there is still a chance.

Thanks for posting this video collection!

I already knew all of them but it is a nice reminder about the great video skills that some people in the COD community have.

And btw, you forgot another great video: Wings of Affliction

Need a reminder about how often launcher.exe crashes make this game unplayable?
