Dear god, yes it does look good but seriously wtf how dim are to expect a flight sim to look like that.....
IMHO clod looks fantastic but you just can't compare it with a series that has a huge fan base and therefore a huge budget. I am bored of fps ATM there all the same just different settings and slightly better graphics (in most cases bf3 looks sweet) released year after year.
Clod is a game that has a lot of potential but to compare it to a 2012 fps is ludicrous the fact that you are even contemplating comparing it with an fps speaks volumes on the fantastic job 1C has done. If only they had polished the game before release
