Honestly. The only way you could imply they aren't keeping us in the light is if you think they are being deceptive. Maybe what you mean to say is that you aren't hearing what you want to hear. Well neither am I, but I have heard what their plan is. I understand it's going to take a while.

If I tell you that to get to 121 Main Street you only need to go straight down THIS road, have I not given you information? I didn't tell you how far to go. To get to your destination of 121 Main Street you don't need to turn left or right. You don't even need to look anywhere else but straight. So am I not giving you clear cut directions?

Sure, you may want to know there's a post office on the next corner and pass that. A gas station is along the way. BTW enjoy Mrs. Lombardo's lovely flower garden and if you come to he Cracker Barell Saloon youve gone too far. But those points aren't germain. I did give you directions though.

The same appies to 1C/CoD, and unless you're implying dishonesty, then there's no reason to believe they aren't communicating - no matter if it's what we want to hear or not, and especially for people who have been here long enough to know better. There's no reason to speculate on anything else until we get to the 121 Main Street/graphics engine overhaul. Once we get there then we'll discuss how to get from 121 Main Street to 36 Newbury Street.

Is it really that difficult to understand? We're all relatively intelligent folks. Maybe patience isn't our strongpoint.

Ultimately I'm sorry you're having issues bad enough that you can't enjoy the game. I've seen many a YouTube clip that shows me that this game has not only a lot of potential but is also enjoyable - though understandably, still flawed.

It is what it is, and sadly we either accept the road map - as basic as it is, and certainly not where we'd like to be at this time - or continue to go around and round in the 1C vestibule while never even making it out to Main Street. B!tchin' about it isn't gonna change a thing.


EDIT: It's not like there's nothing accomplished. They rewrote the sound engine. They've redone the graphics twice. Okay, it intruduced problems. It wasn't the tires causing the problem. It was the wheel bearings. Still not it? Well we were hoping not to have to tear apart the transmission, but it looks like we'll have to.
