yeah, this is the assumption I'm making, too. CoD seems to be developed just to the point where you can make pretty advertising videos. Then, they called it a day and released it, with 3/4 of the features not even implemented, I fear. And performance optimization seemed to have been skipped totally, too.
It's like making a sportscar prototype. It looks fast, it does 330 km/h on a straight-line test track (though the engine sounds a bit flat
). Okay, cool, you put it up for sale and the buyer has to find out that it can't get around corners, rear mirrors have been left out, you have to sit on a wooden box - and it consumes 5litres per km....
P.S.: The fact that they release patches now (as said, beta or not) that do AGAIN provide nothing more than new menu points without functionality is almost an insult to me...
