I just think it is plain rude.
There's a few thousand differences between a computer-game and a car. While I agree that it's somewhat iffy to showcase a new product while we're waiting on The Patch™ for CLoD, car-analogies are getting severely old. If I dished out as much for CLoD as I did a new car, you can be sure I'd be crucifying whoever sold me the car. But since a new car here in Norway is at least three digits (we're talking 250 000 NOK compared to.....what, 250 to 300 NOK?) away from the cost of a computergame....meh.

I did say earlier that I didn't spend much time writing or reading on these boards so apologies for the car comparison.

But you've got to admit the tactic of releasing screenshots from a sequel which will inherit the very same engine is wearing quite thin.

It's all well and good saying that, Fjordmonkey! Now imagine if you had a car analogy that was getting old and other people on the forum started hawking their new and improved car analogies! How would you feel then? eh? EH?

MG should have worked on a expansion pack for CloD with new planes, content, SDK... Not be skipping to the Russian front. That's what happens when the devs are mostly Russian.

Totally agree with you Editor,there was so much more to develop with COD too,the Battle of Britain had so much going for it in terms of expansion,I could'nt believe the day they announced that they would'nt be creating anything more for it
