seriously, you don't believe that do you? luthier said the sequel is going to be merge-able with clod and the only way you will get a better clod after the final patch is if you buy the sequel. so, that means they basically delete the old clod gfx engine based on dx9/dx10 code and replace it with the new one based on dx10/dx11. do you really think they spent the last year and half re-writing a new gfx engine to include dx9? no. that would be ridiculous. the investors and bean counters would not allow it.

edit: I'll go even further and speculate one reason they re-wrote the gfx engine was probably to get rid of dx9 altogether. luthier said in the past that dx9 was a mess and causing problems.
