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

Question for this poll need revision.

I not going to vote because each of the options is a compound response and neither of the options fit my views.

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DX9 support in my oppinion, should be ceased considering it is an out of date medium which to quote from the "fresh stuff from Sukhoi 2" response - one that is used to 15% of users......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.

Unfortunately it wasn't just "advertised", it was "Sold".

Also remember that CoD development started about seven or eight years ago (almost a decade) when we were all still running XP.
