I am wrong... so you were in my house and looking over my shoulder..? I never said I had an 8800.. I had a 9800GTX actually.. on an Fx-60 processor.. and
I could not run it upon release.. It was a slideshow. I said that a person with a high end 8800 .. a card that was a little less powerful than mine should have been able to at least run it..
The exact same rig runs it today... after all the TF work.. That is my entire point. My other point was .. had CoD been as scalable as it is now upon release it probably would have garnered more support as opposed to all the bad press it got. All that bad press was not just cheap schmucks who refused to upgrade their rigs.. Just because you and a few hundred others out of the thousands who bought it could run it on your PCs does not mean that it was flawless upon release and that the problems that people had were figments of their imaginations or manifestations of their tightwad nature..

And so a great studio has folded, and reputations have been tarnished and even destroyed. The game was a masterpiece on release with bugs that would have been corrected in time, but should have been corrected only for strong PC's.(Oleg might have taken that route, we will never know) llya, the chopped up game that is out there today, is nothing but a sad remnant.

vranac: See the above post. You were not in my house on my rig trying to get the dadblamed sim to run so you have no cause to call me a liar.
Slip: That was totally uncalled for.. and Alpha, I am sorry but I have to respond to this post.
If this is what you think then you obviously know absolutely nothing about me based on the post you just made so you really need to get your facts straight before you go shooting off at the mouth about things you know nothing about. CoD was a piece of crap on the outset.. otherwise it would have sold much better and the people who did drop their cash for it and felt burned would not be such a large group of folks.. As I have said across multiple forums over the past year or so from M4T to SHQ, IL2 and even here.. even in this very thread.. it is better now than it has ever been as far as being playable by the masses.. Your attitude and the way that you and many who think like you do resort to insulting people who have or have had issues with CoD in the past is also just as detrimental to the success of the sim as it's buggy release and truth be told that very same attitude makes a lot of folks just wave CoD off to this very day and also keeps them away from here. Even though the sim runs much better by all accounts .. even if it isn't as
whatever the heck it is you guys keep complaining about is missing from the sim since it was "stripped down" it looks pretty d@mned good to me.. and as I said the same rig that could not run it in 2011 regardless to settings now runs it decently enough to at least see some of what it is about. That should have been the case from day one. The fact that you guys keep jumping on this nonsensical rewriting of the history train in spite of the fact that 98% of the folks who may have had issues in the beginning, and complained about it, regardless to how tactless they may have complained back then, now say it is great .. tells me that you guys just want to argue and be rude and insulting to all those fools who obviously were not as smart or adept as you were or your handful of friends who managed to see CoD for the masterpiece it was upon release..
Ya right..
Neither of you know anything about me and my wallet or what I do and have done in the past to support this genre so I would appreciate if you would keep your misinformed opinions about me and my character to yourself. CoD is a great piece of kit now.. I hope that TF can get whatever they need to continue doing what they do and add more in the way of planes and maps etc... but I hope that you and people who think like you do really take a step back from this chest thumping BS thing you guys do.. because it is getting old and tired and totally uncalled for.
