David, they are comparing elements. We were told CoD would have photo-realistic terrain to beat anything ever done before.
The terrain in the video above (WoP) looks beautiful, and a lot more natural that CoD. I can't see any argument against this, because the transition of textures to villages is smooth, the location of trees and other vegation is historically accurate and extremely natural.
I'm not bashing CoD, but pointing out that there are areas of improvement. Areas of the terrain in CoD are outstanding, but does it look like England? Not really. It's like calling a chicken burger a beef burger. It's still a burger, but just not quite beef, is it?
Now I know that WoP has postage sized maps, but the elements of the terrain could all be incorporated into CoD. The textures in CoD probably need a fair amount of improvement, and so does the location of vegetation. Indeed, just cutting down the number of trees to a realistic amount would improve fps!
Do you see what I'm saying? At the end of the day, the team are doing a brilliant job, but they're Russian! They know nothing of England compared to people who have lived here all their lives. That may sound harsh, and I don't mean to sound rude, but it is true.
Obviously, this is all constructive criticism for the team to take on board.
