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

The problem with COD is it's taken far to long to get of the ground. We are 18+ months on and there is still talk about getting the game running stable before they can move onto other fixes

.

Make the game stable after all this time I hear people cry.. Your having a laugh aren't you? WELL AREN'T YOU? All I can say is if it's taken this amount of time to get it running stable, then how longs it going to be before they fix the massive list of bugs they still have? I'll be an old man before this is finished at this rate.

I don't live in this forum like you David, I visit to see if there's a patch available. I know you live in this forum because you seem to have an answer to everyone that posts a negative comment, I always see you in there arguing the toss. Have you ever thought about becoming a politician?

Yes, you do appear to live in this forum. And you whine constantly, but you are still here. If you want to show the devs that there are consequences for the long time it is taking them to fix the game, leave. That'll teach 'em...

I think you need to take a look at the amount of posts you've made before telling someone else they live in here

You may think I whine, but I say it as it is. I come here to talk about the state of play from time to time and not to argue the toss with people like you do. God only knows what you'll do when you have nobody to argue with.

18 months - quite a long time. About the time it takes to get a fully-fledged add-on to market. Or a revised graphics run-time and weather/terrain effects, plus a dynamic campaign and weather system, and maybe an extra plane or two, possibly a theatre.

...or how about a Readme for a beta patch?

The thread subject was minimum expectations. I think we have been hovering around minimum expectations for quite a long time. More hovering than a helicopter or Vtol sim.

The sense of determined fantasy and unreality at least now seems to be giving way to a general grudging acceptance of the facts, which is progress of a sort. Soit's not all bad. Hopefully now that various ailments are so apparent, the code-doctors can start the treatment. the quesion is, do they amputate, or try and save what is there? Hence at the moment, minimum expectations....

The Ignore button, now my friend (how many people can it hold?)

So I am right that you have lived in these forums longer then me. You have been in here since 2010

. I don't think I will get to beat your score of over 1,127 posts lol.

Note, I added a post on to make it 1,127 because I'm sure you will respond.

Yes, I agree 18 months is a long period of time for what they have achieved since release. At least they have made some progress. But it is discouraging that it is taking sooooo long. I think it is still possible to fix this thing, but it is getting harder to keep that faith with such incremental steps and such long periods of time.

+1 its quite clear that only a skeleton crew are now maintaining COD, we know what the rest are up to
