after reading through this thread i can't help but expressing my opinion too.
Sure most of us want COD to be realistic, but there's also that side of us that want the game to look a little artistic for it to be more exciting. And for the realism fundamentalists, COD now doesn't look that realistic to begin with. It is still a long way from looking "similar" to real world.
I think overall, graphics wise, WOP definitely wins! I mean, look at those series of WOP screen shots posted earlier, especially the first one, (the one with the spitfire), it looked almost like an old picture, or a very well painted painting. I was amazed how the developers could created a landscape of such diversity and eye-pleasingness.
I am an advocate of realism too, but Im ok with the game's graphics being a little artistically designed to be more pleasing to the eye. Who wouldn't want a game that comes from real life, but better than real life?
Lastly, I moans the inadequacies of the game's look and performance. I just don't understand why it still isn't on par with other flight sims, like Rise of Flight and WOP. The only reason I wrote all these is because I care about this game too much. I have faith in it. I just hope the devs don't let us dedicated fans down.
