To be honest, looking at those pictures reminds me of the buildings in FSX. Very impressive! <S>!

Probably because both came from satellite imagery.

The thing about this is that, probably the first week we see all of these bomber formations bombing the new cities...having fun and what not and being cool.


Then probably slowly over the course of a month the MA will slip back to itself how it is now...

Doubt it very much......at least in regards to AH.

Just looking at it and Google Earth will show you how closely they compare, especially the parking lots and such. It appears to be satellite imagery that has the buildings interpreted into 3D structures.

They've had CT city tiles in the TE for some time.

Google Earth has been around that long. :)

I agree.  They've had CT city tiles in the TE for some time.  These look the same, only updated.  They work the same where the whole city block will drop as one piece in the outlying areas.
