What exactly is it that you miss?
As I understand it CoD will be updated when the sequel comes out, and from then on improvements will continue that affect that merged version of the game.

As far as weathering goes Luthier never said that skin weathering would never be addressed, just that he thought it wasn't 'terrible'. I'm sure gameplay, weathering (permanent heavy weathering on British fighters) and lots of the other present issues (bridges, wave height, AI tactics, AI response, clouds) will be resolved in good time. At the moment the emphasis must be on getting the game stable and not introducing any other issues. All must be hunk dory before the merge of CoD and BoM. Getting CoD smooth and glitch free is the priority.
Once everything is working OK then the merge can occur and after that global improvements and added features can come.

The map/maps we will be able to edit when the planned user tools become available, and Luthier has definitely not abandoned the development of these.

What, as you see it, are the specific failings of CoD that can't be resolved after the merge?
