David, for the last time, people in England (I'll put this in caps just so you take note) ARE EXPLAINING TO YOU THE FACT THAT COD HAS A DISTINCT LACK OF:
-CLOSE TREE SPACINGS
-HEDGEROWS
-DARKERS TREES WHICH IS WHAT WOULD BE SEEN FROM ALTITUDE (OR, INDEED, ANY DISTANCES)

Colour is another matter, but these are all features of the English landscape which make it look like England, rather than another country.
And, in this sense, WoP largely does a better job! The evidence is clear in these topics. There are no randomly placed trees in RoF, or long lines of sparcely spaced trees which is rarely seen in the English landscape.

The Colours in CoD are largely good, as are the lovely landscape objects. But these features are poorly modelled in CoD's current state and need improving.

I don't understand what you can't understand about this?
You are not English, I take it? So have you ever flown over England, or experienced its landscape on a regular basis? Because clearly you are just blindly stating your faith in CoD, without really expressing how, although CoD has many great areas, it is far from perfect in showing the English landscape.

Philip, I hate to break it to you, but you do not speak for all the people in England. I have seen plenty of people from England who think that CoD does a pretty good job of simulating England's landscape.

And your clams that WoPuke does a better job are utterly ridiculous because YOU HAVE NO F-ING SCREENSHOTS WHICH SUPPORT YOUR VIEWS. IF WINGS OF PUKE DID A BETTER JOB YOU WOULD POST SCREENSHOTS WHICH SUPPORT THAT CLAIM. YOU HAVEN'T, SO PLEASE STOP PRETENDING THAT IT IS AN ACCEPTED FACT. IT ISN'T.

How's this for you:
nice and neat layout, just like in the photos posted before hand.
It's far from an absolutely perfect representation, but it's a damn site better than CoD. And that is the opinion of both an English person, and someone who has compared these shots to photos. Show me a picture of CoD with a border layout of fields and trees similar to England....you won't find one.

I'm only advocating layouts here, just to say, not colours. And similar pictures of WoP have been posted in this thread...

Oh, and would those English people who mention, please stand up?

I mean, if this won't cinvince you, I'm wasting my time. because I'm not slamming CoD, just saying that it is far from perfect.

OK, new picture added (from the demo)
And please, be analytical in your answers. You wouldn't get an E grade in a history essay by saying 'it's shit.'

I think this is what I meant. Colours are rather pathetic at showing summer-time Britain. But all of that aside, the layout is a lot closer to England that CoD...
