Default Poll - COD Terrain: Your Opinion

There has been much debate and disagreement about the quality of COD's current terrain, which as usual quickly polarises into two opposing camps shouting at each other.

So, the purpose of this poll is to obtain a snapshot of the opinion within the community - to put some numbers onto the issue. Are the voices of complaint just a vociferous minority OR is the dissatisfaction more widespread?

Please - the arguing over this has been done to death in a multitude of different threads. There is no point whatsoever in recreating it in this one - just vote!

Thanks.

I would agree only if this should be of some help to devs (and if devs would take in account our opinion and act accordingly) and not become or generate a sterile discussion.
I think CloD terrain should be retooled heavly. It disappoints the expectations.
I'm not opposed to threads again and again discussed before, even if those apparently lead to nowhere (RoF WoP & DCS vs Clod, landscape color palette, fast moving waves and so on). What I dont like is when these discussions go to the dogs and the worst the people emerges, and the mutual respect lacks.
Over and over debating on the same issue should be a persistent buzz for devs till they fit what doesn't works.
Cheers

That is my main reason for doing this, pupaxx, to get some idea of how important (or not) this should be for the devs to fix.

A "Very Happy" from my side as this sim needs work in other areas way more than in the looks of the terrain (mainly content needs to be added such that there is actually something to do than just fly instant missions...for instance a working dynamic campaign or at least maginally believable AI) .

Generally happy.

That said, I'm not British so it doesn't really impact on me whether or not there are hedgerows present or if the landscape colour is a bit off, but I can understand why some of the Brits take umbrage to the scenery.

#3 Texture art has never been a strength at Maddox Games.

At the moment you can´t fly at the correct altitudes, so I would vote #2, but I hope the FM will be fixed, so that you can actually fly, where the planes were designed to fly and from the high alts the terrain doesn´t look really good, so I vote #3.

Like most here,I'm genarally happy,but I do think the colours need to be more subdued,at the moment they are far too vibrant.

The recent dark tree/colour mod of Alifish has made a tremendous improvement IMO so the fields just need to be addressed now.

As regards the water the colour and texture are fine,but where the water meets the shoreline this could be improved big time IMO,and the translucence of the water is ok,but,I believe this is being improved for a future patch.

I read that the translucence of the water will be made clearer,so you will be able to see keels/rudders through the water at close range.Sorry can't remember where I read this,but it was from a genuine source.
