Nail on head. A fact which seems to sail over some heads here...

Their art department alone is probably bigger than the entire Maddox Games staff, or the staff of Eagle Dynamics, 777 etc.

Definately impressed me.. but then, for that type of game!
This sort of nonsense comparison must just be a wind up. This subject has been done to death many times over the years, and still we get it..
Will I buy it? You bet, because I love those type of games too.
But to say that CoD could look like that if they had made it at a similar time is total pap!
Lets get real gents.

Rome wasn't built in a day. As I recall, the first version was done by one person the developer. Like Oleg, he released it and over time and with increased income built a development team.

Someone on SIM HQ posted a link to SimBin. They make Sports Car GT, GT Legends, and are currently looking for employees. The video showed the offices and work environment of the facilities. Quite impressive.

I look at the old beige coloured 1999 PCs used by 1C (at least in the pictures we've seen) and the comparatively stark environment within the work area, and I can't help but wonder if a comparable facility and money was behind CoD what this game would have looked like at completion.

I think there's a lot of good in CoD (though I've still not played it) and believe it will end up being the sim we all want. but that's gonna take time.
