Surely if they made the game for 2013 standards, saying that were are in effect going to make the game, well, worse to suite todays standards or technology is a little ermm whats the word...

Most companies release the bare minimum system specs required to play the game (usually at a resolution much lower than your current monitor naturally operates on). Some release system spects that are so low it should be criminal.

The minimum CPU requirement is what really sticks out in my mind. A dual 2.0 system is actually a few percent slower than my 5 year old laptop which has issues playing Wings of Prey, although I would chalk that up more to the x1400 video card.

If you tried playing that game with a Intel Dual 2.0, a DX9 video card, and 2GB of RAM I'm sure you could do it, but you probably wouldn't enjoy it given how much eye candy would have to be disabled, and how low the resolution would have to be, and how jumpy the gameplay would be.

Anyway, I was probably a bit too quick to cut off all the questions. Obviously Oleg was absolutely correct discussing various game features at the time he discussed them. DX11 however was somewhat buggy when we worked with it last, we ran into issues, and we still haven't sold them. So DX11 support was being worked on, but it's not one of the things that was complete and then turned off. It needs some time, and since it does actually offer a lot of advantages, it's definitely higher up on the list of priorities.

The minimum settings are indeed for runnining the game at a small resolution and with a lot of stuff turned off. We have lots of features to fine-tune, and you don't have to set every single one to Low or Off. You will have to choose a bunch that are less important to you personally, whether it be the amount of buildings on the landscape or the trees or aircraft model quality, etc. But of course, the game will look significantly worse on a minimum machine than any recent screenshot.

Thanks for that luthier, could you tell us what spec of PC you can currently run COD on with everything maxed up including AA + AF, so the game runs smoothly, that would be most useful to know for those of us who are thinking about investing a couple of thousand pounds into our new systems.

That sentence was very interesting.

Im not a graphical guru, not even close so can you just spend 1min of your time to name a few of these advantages that would be useful in a high fidelity sim as CoD?

Thx for the quick answers.

New 3D engine – Latest-gen graphics engine with DX10 and DX11 API support. Huge variety of photorealistic ground vehicles, buildings and other environmental elements recreate minute details of 1940s Europe.

That's the official announcment. It would be unfair competition if DX 11 wasn't in the release version.

Its not like CoD is the only game that ditched DX11 in the initial release. DCS A-10 is another example.

So I don't see a competition Hecke.

When did we see a 800x600 screenshot? Recommended specs in the first post are way below from what I was expecting.

This is UBI.

Besides we have just heard how DX11 is in the game - amongst one of those 'switches' Ilya was talking about. Read between the lines. Just won't make it in the initial release. My prediction/hope - next tile in order after CoD.

We never saw an 800x600 screenshot since I'm assuming they were not using PC's from ~2005 to take screencaps on. Those MINIMUM SPECS are not going to be playing the game at anything like what the weekly updates have been showing.

Guess this means that the game will be quite demanding on full settings or even less.

I will be happy in the 1st instance to get a Spit up over the channel against a single 109 and have it smooth and pretty.

The leaked in cockpit shot (the one without sound) just looked stunning.

If I can just run that on my Quad 3Ghz & a 5870 I'll be a happy chappy.

Am sure one you start loading the skies with lots of aircraft, that's when things will need to get turned down.

All speculation anyway.
