Just a thought, maybe the reflections are too errr...reflecty for the channel water...was just a idea.

And the 20 setting is for light sources i think, not reflections.

I think you're right. The water is too "reflecty" lol. I live on the south coast, though in a much nicer place than Fruitbat and I know this sounds strange but the sea surface should have a matt finish. Not quite the gloss we've got here. The action of the water surface is amazing though. Colours? Difficult for any devs to do I think as the colour of the sea changes constantly and the naked eye perceives colour in a much different way from any photo-process.

Performance of this new map on my PC? Just got back from PC World and have doubled my RAM but looks like my venerable old 460GTX 756mbvram has met it's match here. 660ti 3gb in the new year I think
Runs slower than CLoD but still smoother. Do I prefer CLoD map to RoF map? Probably. Do I prefer RoF to CLoD? Probably.

Webbed feet? No. But a few of these little beauties always help to break the ice.



Flying later? Yes please!!!

Thanks fruitbat, what a good read, very interesting! Surprised about the bigger accuracy in the RoF coastline, that's cool. My main gripe with the RoF map (from your movie, I'm away from my gaming comp for three weeks) is the sterile sameness of the landscape. I love the lighting and atmosphere effects, but after a while you just feel that it doesn't really matter what area you fly over, it is all the same...

I feel that the RoF towns on the map are 'representations' or some sort of digital summary compared to CoD.

But, wasn't it the original intention of CoD to permit ground fighting on the map??

Put paid to a Felixtowe near dover...









Short lived triumph however. Forgot which England I was flying over and clipped a tree

Nice pictures Feathered!

One thing I noted is that you seam to have a lot more texture to the cliff face than I've been seeing, What graphics settings are you using?

Cheers!

Thanks! I've got landscape textures set to maximum. You take a bit of a hit in frames per second, but not too much.
