It is becoming more and more apparent, that COD has no future. The ammount of things which are not working as they should is just growing each day as people play it longer and longer. I like some parts of it, but generaly, is it realy big step from IL-2? I don't think so. Its not just the stuttering, low fps and other "technical" problems, this sim is missing a complete roadmap, to me it looks like a trip without a plan. And this insight from ex programmer (is it a coincidence that another key person announced his new plans at aproximately same time?) just shows that at certain point in development certain features were disabled (clouds for instance) because the thing was unplayable... I've done a lot of beta testing in my life for several projects, some games, some serious stuff, and COD at the time of release was just not ready, could be called advanced alpha at the best....and I more and more belive, that it never will be ready, because its not only the "broken" stuff which could be improved, but it is the general feeling which is, I'm sorry to say, pretty negative.

What keeps me wondering is emphesise on wrong features. Who the hell needs rolling grass, tank gun recoil, trains modeled in extreme detail, whole map of SE England..but at the same time blunt sounds, problematic AI and FM, tracers, envronemt (weather), game content are named placeholders?

Recent development is certainly not reasuring.

Before fanboys launch their attacks...I have quite a lot of flying time under my belt, from gliders to jet aircraft and considerable experience in project managment and execution...and I played Il-2 series from day one...
