Weather/Terrain effects. Surely this is the minimum we expect for CloD or the Sequel

Good point

dont let the depressed ones confuse you with their tales of doom

on that one "small map in CoD" occasion the same advanced game and grafix engine in CoD just has to briefly model a small geographic area. its not as if it can suddenly scale down magically and that suddenly frees up the resources to add game console style eye candy and dumbs down the FM and DM etc..

its like saying a fiat 500 and a Ferrari should cost the same because both on one occasion are driving at the same slow speed

point being, for CoD/BoM the same gfx and game engine in other settings has to model the highly detailed aircraft models, FM, DM, and a huge map with large formations of aircraft and complex ground unit activity, AND you (we) want a high level of detail when on the ground or flying at low altitude (rather then the cartoon visuals of WoP). there simply isnt enough pc resources for this on mid level systems, it even strugles on high end pc's in 2012 (eg having to turn of dynamic weather etc).

I hope they take a second look at their trees later too. Seeing the new water, I remain hopeful. It would be good to see some bump mapping on the landscape too. Clod has an edge over RoF in that respect.

ROF is way ahead of CLOD.

I remember I was so impressed with an early video of CloD showing some clouds and the effect of the sun shining on the top of the cloud. I found the video at 1:12 - 1:14, it made my jaw drop....

How so, up close rof looks better but from the air the fields look very flat and washed out in rof while in cold the look 3D.

Because its finished and well polished and the future looks bright.
