Simple

1C has already made the move to DX11 APIs!

Which is something a lot of games have yet to do..

And wont be able to make use of the new DX11 API 'feature levels' until they do.

CoD was one of the first games to do this..

The down side of being first is that Microsoft had a lot of issues with the DX11 API at the start..

Which is probably why 1C decided to limit CoD to only make use of the DX10 'feature levels'.

Which is one of the cool things about the DX11 API! You can select the 'feature levels' you wish to support.

All in all a smart move on 1C's part and another case of 1C planing for the future.

For some yes, but not all!

Sadly those who are having issues forget that FACT hint.. hint..

As far as I know the DX12 API is not even in beta yet.. So I think that would be rather silly to do

One could say the same about you and yours..

Same old whiners whine from the whinny handful gang

Always ignoring the FACT that many people are currently running CoD just fine and having plenty of fun doing so! The good news is there are guys like me here to point it out each time they try!

You can't use games like that as an example, because they actually work. Ace is looking for a similar example of a game that was programmed using the DX11 api, but failed miserably. When you add the fact that COD still doesnt have properly functioning AA, it's head and shoulders above the rest.

I am sure programmers have lots of fun with that move and "Windows XP" stated as minimum required OS on the game box.

Honestly I can't see the purpose of your post. Bash the devs? Flame other users who don't share your opinion? Complain about the status of the game? Vent your frustration? All of that?

So, what are you adding to the debate, what new piece of information are you bringing that we didn't hear yet at least 10 billion times?

And also, f you don't like the game, can't bear some forum members and despise the work of the devs ... well why are you still hanging here?

Adult persons must have a practical goal when communicating with others than their family/friends. Especially on a forum. Emotions are best left to children. B6 message had a clear purpose: inform us. Answers like the one of our friend are purposeless: uninformative, emotional, trouble-stirring. He is unhappy with the current state of affairs of CoD ... well, so what? Who cares apart himself? He would better write his rants on the wall of his bedroom, as the practical outcome will be the same.

Have a nice day.

This is an update thread. There is very little tolerance for rants,whines, or general troublemaking and cheap shots at each other.
