As things turned out I have to agree but I don't think 1C expected it to go that way. I understand why 1C tried to build something that would be capable of running on a 2GHz DX9 rig as well as on PC specs still not achievable even now but it seems you can only stretch a piece of elastic so far before it breaks. Oleg always said it would take a rig capable of running IL-2 1946 "very well" just to run CoD on low settings but in the event they were unable to do that.
