Give up the whining

[RickRuski]

Luthier has stated previously that the sequel will have a new graphics engine, the old one being used in C.o.D. was being abandoned with the final release as it wasn't suitable going forward, there were just too many problems which weren't fixable.

I guess it like a surgical team saying the patient that they have had on llfe support for the last 18 months isn't going to survive, the heart is only running on 2 cylinders, they have had the patient on dialysis because of kidney failure and now they have discovered that the patient has liver cancer.
Sorry but we have a new patient going into surgery and we may need the life support unit for that because this is a new proceedure which is untried, so we have no choice. The plug has been pulled.

I think Luthier said its going to be a new GUI not a new engine.

(I think the above situation, is what Luthier meant by "creepy"

CLoD, at release, had an engine which was replaced not that long ago... CLoD, final patch, runs the new engine

BoM, Sequel (not patch) will be (is expected that there should be, at least) further inprovements to that new engine, which was re- written for CLoD

err A change in the GUI (Graphical User Interface... not graphics engine)

GUI, is just pictures/ icons/ buttons instead instead of 2 foot long DOS commands
