I see the same things you guys see. I'm under an NDA and don't really want to bite the hand that feeds me, but I also have an inside look at all the talk about what needs to be addressed, and all the different ideas about how to do it. It makes me feel pretty confident. If I could have one wish come true with regards to the game, it would be that we could wave a magic wand and flash forward in time. In the meantime, you guys have to realize two things;
a) the developers have already delivered pretty significant advances over the previous engine - and the most mind blowing stuff unfortunately was done so well, they made it look effortless. Relative spotting and the new editor stand out especially for me, not to mention the 3D models in game - getting down low, it really looks a lot like Operation Flashpoint at times, and that says a lot. I mean, the damn wheels actually turn on the tanks.
the developers haven't gone anywhere. We testers are testing new ideas and bug fixes constantly. But the developers also believe that it's dangerous to make promises they can't keep. So you guys don't get updated every thirty seconds. You hear about the stuff when it's a reality. I think it's the right policy.
If I sound like a "fan-boy", well, that's why. I know what's going on behind Door Number Three and I like what I see. You guys will too. </font>
