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

If it makes anyone feel better, Dynamic weather in DCS games is a resource hog as well, and a real knock on FPS.

Great weather effects in the original post. The water over canopy seems a bit overdone but still pretty good. What stood out most for me was the smoke and fire from the burning buildings. Most realistic smoke I've seen in a flight sim. It doesn't just rise straight up from the fire but appears to be roiling as it goes up. Also isn't a uniform thickness and has patches of thick smoke breaking away from the column. Very nice.

ROF looks much better on my PC than that pic, but I still don't find the terrain believable. Although the latest ROF video of the float plane taking off and landing on water is amazing. COD terrain is OK, but it should get much better, when the community can fine tune it, and replace some of the trees with hedgerows etc.
