If CoD doesn't use the full potential of today's hardware..

Exactly. In most contractual business situations there are deadlines to be met. I highly doubt that any investor would agree to a six year long development. My guess is that the deadlines were not met a couple of times by Maddox Games.

Blaming UBI is easy, but it's also getting very old.

Also "the small team argument" is totally invalid, since the game's price is exactly the same as any other AAA titles from major software studios. And the price is the ULTIMATE factor for ANY product. You can't sell Hyundai's priced as Ferrari's and expect people to be happy about the performance of the former.

New patch they offloaded textures to another core to greatly improve performance, just keeping a record here

I have an idea. Why not create a community driven "bug tracker".
Bohemia Interactive did this and the community actually HELPS instead of complaining.
Some of you may already play the game I speak of and know how amazing it is because of it.

Anyways ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_tracking_system Can use anyone you want
Here is the one I was referring to: http://dev-heaven.net/projects/cis/wiki

I know we got talent in the community that can make this happen.
Just need some motivated individuals and some web space.

Would be good but there are language barriers atm to things like this. Also I could imagine the devs could get jumpy about supplying any code, especially since its now tied into steam to a degree. Normally this stuff is done by beta testers...

For the record the new patch(beta) today helped - it now seems to use multicores It's not far off (once sli comes in or cf) from being at a point where the devs can sort out all the other stuff - stick with it, it's coming

No of the things I said that would fix the problem. I have advocated alot for multicore support and a strong push towards multithreading aswell as dx10.1 and especially DX11 to solve the problems. Many on the forum said that multithreading was not worth it and would not give major performance gains, or that it was me overhyping something that would not help or that it was not worth the devs time.

Turns out I was right (again).
