[QUOTE=Blackdog_kt;256925]I'm not worried about graphics or sounds...the developers will fix some and the modders will fix some, even if they can't be adequately optimized our hardware will catch up in 6-12 months, etc...

This is the ONE thing I'm worried about. Our hardware will not catch up this time around. CoD is using 30 t0 40% of the available hardware recources on todays computers. Basically todays top of the line rigs should be running CoD without any problems at all with 60fps on the highest settings. The modders won't be able to do anything if the core program is not optimized. Time is normaly our best friend but unless the devs optimize the engine to use 100% of our computers recources right now it's future is limited. Il2 went from 500mhz to 5ghz over 10 years. Don't count on that raw cpu performance spurt again.

RoF runs smooth with good eyecandy on my computer if I keep the amount of planes under about 20. When I get a faster machine things will get better in RoF. With CoD I'm not convinced of this. I'll get a better rig for RoF and DCS A10 and just hope that with time CoD will take advantage of the increased performance.
