By then you could have a new computer that could run COD at 200 or 300 fps. What I'm trying to say is COD won't be finished for a very very long time, and will evolve considerably with features we've never seen before, especially when you add in user made content.

Yes...the nerve of Rick wanting to wait and see if the expansion is worth it. He's just supposed to just throw his money at 1C because they put out a flawless product that shouldn't even be questioned. Everything Chivas listed above is just an opinion on what's going to happen, I think it's been proven with this release that everyone's opinion on what this game was going to be fell far short. I agree that it might be 15 to 20 years before Clod is running good and has all the features that were expected though, so there's that.

Common Sense and the business plan of the developer tells us that this series will follow the same pattern as the old series, unless of course it fails, which is anyones guess. Confidence in the developer will come back very quickly when and if the sim works. If the sim succeeds everyone succeeds, if it fails we all lose. If you want to throw the developer under the bus with every post fill your boots, I'll try to counter it.

I agree Chivas. I just don't think we should throw members under the bus for stating that they will wait for reviews from forum members before purchasing. I think it was the great philosopher Scotty from Star Trek who said "Fool me once, shame on you...Fool me twice, shame on me." lol

S!

Well, patch is supposed to come some time not so far. Gives another chance to test and report bugs etc. in a constructive manner. Work on sequel is in full swing, so nothing to complain on that department.

Game's release was far from what expected, but nothing we can do about it. Could bring up a lot of stuff what niggles me but again why beating a long since dead horse
