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

Too bad Bohemia can not find someone to buy a flight model from!

ACE-OF-ACES: yes I know... I didn't want to praise Arma by my post or compare whole games. It was just an example how to make nice clouds for a game!

Roger that bud!

I love the ARMA stuff! Most realistic FPS out IMHO

I only wish they would put a little more effort into the flight models.. Than it would be an all in one game IMHO

Who knows, I hear they put more effort into them in ARMA3, but they also said that when moving from ARMA to ARAM2

On the note of secenry

There does seem to be a price to pay for all that ARMA detail

In that the world size is typically pretty small (see IF44) and thus the view distances are limited.. Not a big deal when walking or driving around.. But when it comes to flying, it can suck. Take IF44 (ARMA 2 engine) you can fly across the WHOLE WORLD in about 20 seconds.. Even faster in ARMA with jets! So there is a balance that needs to be considered.. When you look at how BIG the CoD world is.. I would take the level of detail CoD offers now over ARMA if it ment CoD would have to reduce the size of the world to ARAM sizes to use that secenry engine ARMA is using

I totally agree 1000000000000000% in this day and age with the horsepower we have available theres no reason not to have WEATHER and ATMOSPHERE in their next simulation. My gawd they had it in games back in early 2000's...and so far Gaijin have been kicking 1C's ass its not even funny.

There are no tracers visible, there are no see-through points...it's an immersive 3D world where a player can use the weather to their advantage.

I appreciate you didn't like WoP, I can't make you like it. It is Arcade, but it also has a much better representation of terrain, lighting, no obvious pop-up....and it has cloud and weather effects.

You don't like it. I get it. You have said many times.

Now, regarding the weather conditions and Graphics on the ground....CloD could learn a lot!

Well done Krupi!! You managed to to find landscape pictures!!! That might be considered an achievement where you live, so very good!!!
Now everyone, take a look at hese photos eand we can all see thst the treelines should be alot darker than we have in Clod. Will do alot for the landscape.
Not sure if 1c is working on trees for CLOd anymore but i guess not...

Hi Krupi, thanks for posting the picts, this confirms what I hate most in Clod landscape... the myriad of isolated trees visible from 30 miles. The pattern of real timberline is more similar to aggregate bushes.
Cheers

Talking about landscape and weather at all... does this game have a day and night cycle with changing weather? I don't know, just inform me. Of course, there are games that look amazing - they have totally photorealistic landscapes and clouds, like Battlefield 3 and other titles. But, trust me - I work 4 years in games development. The maps in this games look so great because they're static and not changing - no weather changes, no sun cycle. In this case it is much easier to make the environment looking perfect. But in case of day cycles and changing weather, it is incredibly difficult to make the environment look good at all conditions. You notice that the environment looks great at noon - but then you move the sun to sunset and change the weather - and everything looks strange, trees are too bright/dark, water does some funny stuff... it is a nightmare for a developer
