Poll - COD Terrain: Your Opinion

[flyingblind]

Given the constraints imposed by computer resource limitations I don't think the landscape is too bad. Field textures and colour are not that far out apart from modern crop spraying tracks in some of the fields which, given the amount of work needed to remove, are no doubt there to stay. English hedges, or at least the impression of them, could do with improvement. Again trees are always going to be limited by computer resources and as they stand they lack much variation. Back in the 40s the predominant tree was the English Elm, very dark and imposing, which made the landscape look like a typical Constable painting.They were pretty well wiped out in the 70s by Dutch Elm Beetle. I think the biggest improvement that can and probably will be made is the water and particularly the shore line. The mud flats of the Thames Estuary and The Wash are almost as iconic as the White Cliffs. I think it was said in a post by Luthier that water will be transparent so maybe they will come to life a bit. Have a look at Google Maps and Google Earth to get an idea of how they should look. So all in all I am one of the majority and checked button 2.

Where the #¤#% did i call anyone a pig? I called someone a pig and then deleted it? U know, i saw u admit to being an avid fan of Sim City last week, but then u deleted it. What should i do? And good luck disproving me btw.

But go right ahead and accuse me of things that never happened if you want to go down that route.

And dont tell me, im still the one who has to watch his manners?

This forum is getting freakier and freakier by the minute.

And just so u know, i have no opinion of u what so ever, but where u get your "personal" stuff from is beyond me.

Actually you are right baron and I apologise, I'm typing this on a tiny screen, and doing 3 things at once.... I just mixed you up with baronwastelan....so my mistake and sorry. It was not you at all but him. I write baron short for baronwastelan too to save time, its my bad mate and not directed at you at all.

Okey dokey.

Said, based on a misunderstanding.

Therefore invalidating the whole process, only joking, but I think the poll was more about whether you liked the look of it or not, jsut a question have you deleted your cache?

The other thing may be if you are running winXP, CoD and Win XP are not on friendly terms.

IMHO terrain texture resolutions are way too low, it looks like a smudgy mess. Colors as other have pointed out are to some degree off, but I can live with that.

Worst thing so far is the building popup/grey texture at a distance. Its embarrasingly ugly.

[FS~Phat]

Im trying to spread the word that the best trade off I have found is turning landscape to medium as it appears to reduce draw distance by maybe 20-30% for some land based objects. This smooths out all texture hiccups even when running everything else maxed on my system.

I would rather have a little less draw distance for land objects and higher quality textures than the insane draw distance you get with Landscape on High.

Can other people try Landscape on Medium and report their findings, both visual and performance wise?
