In Russia Windows XP is still a common OS so I guess that is why... And we all know why a user with a computer that can run this game would choose XP? So let the pirates rot in the future - but as the current box says DirectX 9 there is no option but to support it in the patch, no matter how much we whine... I tried starting CloD in Dx9 once for testing and got half the FPS and the visual quality was awful. It must hurt to sit there trying to fix it when 95% of the customers use Windows 7. But still - this game is released with Dx9 on the box so no choice.

If the only people that are still interested in CloD are those that vote in these pointless polls, it is doomed anyway...

Yeah, it would have been 'fairer' to ask whether or not you have a DX11 capable card and OS, not have the 'yes' option tagged to a criticism.

The Poll options are very indicative of the OP's position - however I have to agree:
DX9 support in my oppinion, should be ceased considering it is an out of date medium which to quote from the "fresh stuff from Sukhoi 2" response - one that is used to 15% of users...... so why should the remaining 85% suffer because of a minority who have not, cannot or will not update their hardware or OS to the modern world!?

I know lots of people who have worked hard to build, buy or update their systems to handle CloD, why should we be forced to wait for dx9 stuff in a patch when we have taken those steps to be able to play the game on a reasonable system?

I can understand the arguement of "since it was advertised it should be supported" but it's been a year, plenty of companies stop supporting their products or elements of their prodcuts within that time frame - also we do not yet have a finished product so wasting time on a minority issue seems like warped priorities to me.

Unless of course it is as others say and is instead another thinly veiled delay mechanism?

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy CloD and happily play it as regularly as possible - however I would also like to see it grow and improve - something I do not feel will be accomplished whilst they are still developing and creating support for an antique DX version that is almost a DECADE old now.
