Clouds, yes.

Well we all know now that Oleg was lying his pants off about pretty much everything during development, no wonder he did a runner, imagine him trying to get out of all the bollocks he told us here and in the interviews he did. I hope it all comes back to haunt him oneday.

We got a lot of placeholders, unfortunately:

Only up to DX10 suport, all weather system, sound system, even menu parts... Well, I'm happy that they aren't suposed to be the final ones. You and all naysayers can be unhappy, not me. I can wait step by step the evolution of this sim engine.

Yes. But not terrain. One would hope it is a placeholder, but considering how much work the terrain needs, the team can't help but agree that it is a placeholder (i.e. they might have thought it was OK before release, but now they must realise that it could do with a lot of work, once all the other major issues have been ironed out).

I don't think they will fix it. IMO CoD is/was just a test bed for their Moscow sim, once they release that their huge Russian fanbase will be happy, the rest of us don't really count for much.

"How much work" the terrain need, Philip, besides some tweak in general colour and tree placement?

You talk like the terrain engine is a lot of crap and is totally wrong... The elevation data is great, 1:1, town and landmarks placement... The only MINOOOOOOOOOORRRRR flaws that I see in visuals are tweaks needed in colour and vegetation placement. The big part of problem still perfromace and optimization. And the water... I really will like the promised for future new water!

Voted 'generally happy' - the tiles themselves are ok, just needs some slight colour tweaking to darken the trees and some of the fields. Massive optimisation is still needed though, both to improve performance of the higher res textures for those that use them, and a huge visual improvement for Medium/Low textures, which currently look beyond awful.
