How about every sim and game on the market today?
I am being realistic, if HT ever gets time to work on smoke effects and its affect on framerates (hopefully one day..) I'd love to see it. Imagine it, tracers everywhere, flak everywhere, and now big clouds of smoke, for as much as 50% or more of the client base, smoke takes frames down at least 50%. Its a solid issue. Would look good though

The effects you want will hopefully come one day, but for now a compromise is needed. HTC has stated its minimum requirements, the fancy shmancy eye candy is abit much for those minimum requirements these days if you ask me, but, what game's minimum specs aren't these days. If you state minimum specs you have to support them. The more machines AH runs on the larger the potential market. The smaller the market, the smaller the income, the smaller the development budget.
BTW Wobble you want all this, and all that, why don't you contribute with yer wallet, after all its the subscribers that finance all these updates, and development.
After all you pay nothing to enjoy your H2H and rant about I want this, I want that, this sucks, and so does that, and wouldn't it be great..
