my sentiments exactly.
my theory is one which states that this is a transition work...that they have changed something and therefore the old stuff wont work anymore. if i am not mistaken this happened when they made the transition to AH2 from the AH1...
we didnt get clouds back for ages. it was like flying through the dessert at high noon all the time...no scratch that, even the desert gets these little itty bitty clouds from time to time.
on a good note, the clouds are finally coming around, but they could still stand another generation of developement to account for some of the other types of cloud cover. i am satisfied with where they are for now. it will take some real work to get realistic towers of poof up there.
i already really miss the farm tiles from the last patch. those were so beautiful and they gave me a sense that all was going well in the AH universe...that things were on the right track.
alas, they seem to be gone. i hope not for good. they felt as real as anything...no, more real than anything that i have experienced visually in the game.
sigh.
you are correct. its a lime green hell and thats all there is too it.
but the bunkers and the airfields...and hell, even the water (IMHO) look leaps and bounds improved over yesterdays news. the beaches are great. the sheep are a fun edition...they just need some art that can attach itself to some of the subtleties and nuances of the outside world and bring them into their digital one. it would'nt take much more really.
it feels patchwork. it always does.
in some senses, i like that...i have grown to appreciate the never ending shifts and developements. when you create things you have to be able to erase and change directions. in other ways, i don't like it...it always seems to be getting in the way of it for me.
all in all, i still love the game, but even with these little fixes that i made, it doesnt feel right. it feels unreal...just as i thought it was beginning to do the opposite.
