Luthier Update Clarification Please

[ACE-OF-ACES]

For those who are reading this and not familiar with Tree_UK know that he has nothing good to say about CoD. Why he is so negative, well that is one for the Freudian types out there. We don't need to know why he is, only that he is. With that said this reply to his post is not to him, it is to those who are not familiar with his agenda. So with that in mind allow me to point out how silly his latest attempt is. That being that 1C, UBI, or STEAM advertised CoD as DirectX 11 game.

Lets begin

Note folks.. Tree says there are 'many' posts where Oleg and/or Luthier 'tell' us the game will support DX11..

Yet, he only provided '1' link to '1' post by Oleg back in October of 2009, Some two years ago, and nearly a year and a half before CoD was released. That is to say during the development of CoD. As as all 'adults' can tell you, things can change between development and delivery.

Also note that Tree did NOT quote what Oleg said in that post two years ago

Ask yourself.. Don't you think Tree would have quoted it here if this was the holly grail of proof that 1C, UBI, or STEAM promised a fully DirectX 11 game? Well there is a reason for that, Tree is hoping you will not click on the link and simply read Tree's summary of what Oleg said as proof. Fact is any adult clicking on that link and reading what Oleg actually said will see that there is no promise that CoD will ultimately be a fully DirectX 11 game. As it does prove to us is that Oleg was looking into the differences between DX9, DX10, and DX11.

So out of the 'many' this was the best Tree could find?

Does that not tell you something?

Note folks.. Here is another example.. Now ask yourself, if there are 'many' posts stating such.. Than it should be a simple mater for Tree to post a link to '1' if not 'many'.. Right?

Yet he posted none

Does that not tell you something?

Note folks.. Here Tree is trying to draw me off topic

Why you ask?

Well this is the typical approach of the neg-nuts when they know they don't have a leg to stand on. Their goal is to muddy the waters with a name calling and tangent topics in the hopes of taking the focus off the fact that they have not proof. Again, if your not familiar with Tree you may not have noticed this. But for those of us who have had to put up with his rants for the past few months they are easy to spot

Now allow me to actually post 'here' what Oleg said at that '1' link Tree provided, i.e.

I Hope they will support DX11 as it is DX brakethrough like DX 9 was.

Keep in mind this post is TWO YEARS OLD! A good YEAR AND A HALF before CoD was released. Which means this conversation took place during the development of CoD.

Now ask yourself.. Do you see anything Oleg said in that post that could be construed as a promise that CoD would be a fully DX11 game?

I sure don't!

Now ask yourself.. What sort of person would read that and conclude what Tree concluded? Does that look like something an 'adult' mind would read and conclude, or something a 'child' like mind would read and conclude?

And by 'child' like I mean someone that has no real grasp on reality of PC games.

In that most adults realize..

Most if not all software/games are released with bugs
Things change between development and delivery

So in summary

So, not sure where this DX11 'myth' comes from? It surly didn't come from any official 1C, UBI, or STEAM web site. Some of which are over 6 months old. Note I don't have the box version, so at this point I can only assume that it is mentioned there? I mean this myth would have to be based on more that what Tree provided above.. Right? Assuming it is mentioned somewhere, go back a page or two and I think you will see that robtek already covered it.
