God, I wish Maddox Games would licence this engine or the models to the creators of the MMO Battleground Europe... or do something similiar by themselves

Kurfurst, I do think that Oleg has this in mind for later.

An all encompassing arir/ground/sea MMO from Oleg would indeed be wonderful.

I have my fingers crossed! There is nothing like going on a hunt for A14s with a Sdkfz 232

I have to agree the terrain looks like its been badly painted by a child, who as placed some giant cabbages randomly in fields. Still its early days, and we haven't seen anything in DX10 or 11 yet.

Early days is a good point. Personally, I won't worry too much about the terrain upon release so long as it can be worked on in patches.

Can't really agree that it's still 'early days' for BOB. Definitely for the SOW series, but re-read this:

So I can't tell exact date right now. But we are close, very close in our works of final release version... We need to polish all the coming in final release features.

Maybe this 'polishing' is going to be pretty damn good (actually, I'm pretty sure it will be ) but I think we should take on the reality. It's not 'early days' any more.

Uh, yeah. 1C does own the source code, after all.

I know, but they may not choose to work on it...

Ok. I went back and re-looked at the first batch of screenies from this week just to see if I'd been drinking too much when I first saw them and that had skewed my perception.

Nope, still look pretty good to me, especially the first pic with the hill in the background.

I will say though that the shots we've seen from ground level do seem overall to look better than those from medium / low altitude, but I think those have been improving too.

Anyway, Hecke - 'crappy' is well over the top.
