Seriously I think this translates into "this is going to be a lot more complex and time consuming than we expected....so dont call us..we will call you"....safe to say..shelve the game for 6 months..and revisit the issue...if anyone REALLY thought they were going to optomize and redo the entire graphics engine in a month..or even two..they been smoking something funny. If they couldn't with ALL that time get it right the first time..what leads one (us) to believe a new polished engine was going to suddenly appear in no time... ? Were it that simple..it would have been done right the first time...so. seriously to all those people who are complaining "please make the stuka radiators open faster" and "ohhh I cant seem to turn my gun turret at the correct speed" I think those issues are a long time off from being dealt with..first thing is get the game running well enough for those of us whose systems..LIKE MINE...are way above what is required OR recommended for the game. I didnt pay 50 dollars to buy a game that would play beautifully on a machine I have to spend 5k for or that is 5 years from being graphically available. Trusted IL to deliver a good product like their other wares....but ignored my gut which said "read the forums and see what people are saying"....which I need to do in the future.. before I pay 50 for a game that is now selling for 12 and requires me to update my 570 geforce that should run the game FINE and spend 600-800 for ANOTHER card with more ram to get decent FPS? That's just nonsense. Take a look at my pc specs below and tell me "where I went wrong" in building this rig? HAD the game said 'requires a minimum of 2gigs of vram' then at least I could have planned accordingly..however the specs set on the box and advertising for this game were just a fantasy..I've got more than enough processing/ram/video power that this game should run WELL on HIGH settings..yet..it doesn't..Im tired of ranting.but Im also tired of developers pushing half finished products out the door which they charge full price for and know that it still requires "major work" and they will fix it up down the road after the cash has rolled in..and the fact that some guy has gotten quad sli or some such silly thing to run the game well is also ridiculous...how many decent graphics card does one need to have this sim work properly?

slight error there, but it undermines most of the basis of your argument. other then a couple of very brief sales from some retailers (see the dedicated thread), CoD still sells at full price in most countries. or you got a url for a bargain bin international sale where it is at 10 $ ? (if you do, i'll buy it now )

i did read the forums before buying it, and hence....... still havnt bought it ! my system is similar to yours (weak point being the 1 gb vram card), and having read the forums since its original release, and there STILL are still to many problems to expect a working product "out of the box". i simply dont have weeks of time to waste and try to twiddle with the fiddly bits to get it running wel enough to the point i can actually enjoy it. its almost there now, but not quite yet. having high hopes for the next patch if they rework the gfx engine as planned to get a decent boost in looks and speed. if all goes according to luthiers intentions, Santa might bring me some CoD (pun intended)
