The balance between graphic quality and good game play is very subjective. I've been making the point in other postings that personally, I'd much rather see SH1V look visually similar to SH111 but have all the important game play items that nvdrifter mentions be working in the game at the time of release. The patch mania on SH111 drove me mad...Installing mods 3 times and then uninstalling them again in order to add the latest patch is very frustrating. I also agree with nvdrifter regarding the SDK. I see no reason that this shouldn't be offered.
The bottom line is that there is a finite amount of production time that Ubisoft will pay for, and how you balance that time between visual enhancement and game play enhancement is the crucial point.
This may not be a very popular view, but for me, give me SH111 set in the Pacific and patched beyond 1.4 at the time of release. Re-think the crew management and give the modders access to the SDK.
