Because it had too many limitations, rivers were all wide, vertical cliffs were not possible, definition was low, etc etc.

At some point you have to understand that the IL2 engine is old and cannot continue to be upgraded efficiently, thus they built a new one.

You should be able to mod the il2 engine to look like that, but I suspect you'll come to the same conclusions as Oleg's team did, that it was time to start over with the ability to look forward again, it's probably not coincidence that RoF dropped the IL2 engine.

Yes but something, somewhere went horribly wrong. The existence of Spitgirl is evidence of this.

In the campaign department yes, personally I think CoD's landscape looks great, it just needs some tweaks so that it gels together better.

Cliffs aren't vertical was the issue I beleive we were told, by definition I mean the mesh, ie we now have a high resolution mesh that allows for fine elevation changes rather than the actual textures applied.
