Is the art and effects in CoD dated?

Eh.. not really. the graphics are actually pretty standard. I would even go as far as saying bad. Nothing that fancy at all.
Low polygon models, low texture resolutions, poor alpha maps, no anti aliasing, little to no lighting. Meh. I have seen better.

This looks better....

This is the reply you're talking about.
And I agree with him, technically it's not that impressive.
But again, it's a flightsim, not an FPS.

To be fair the OP posted this:

New GOLD STANDARD for realistic video games.
This is not a CG movie.
These are actual real time captures from the new game with some simple effects added here and there.

The graphics in CloD are not that good, especially not in slow motion as the linked video..
