Pfft. Subsims don't need historically accurate grids, they need ~dynamic (scripted) missions~

Why would a dev team do this? Same thing with having AA disabled...

Because Ubisoft Romania has so little funding that their "computers" are actually chimps with abacuses, which are quite incapable of anything more than 2xAA and static lighting.

PS: Ubisoft Romania don't know the difference between Corsica and Sardinia.

Frankly, i'm wondering lol
Turning off AA for official screenies for sure makes it suprising, to the very least! It sure kills some beauty... But well, at least we knows it's not been photoshoped!

Water seems pretty nice also! Not the best, but pretty cool. Seems the sparkling got corrected and that's there are only most of it with calm seas

Nor do they know the difference between a country and a type of crab.

Fortunately though, many people don't know how to spell Mediterranean, so that one may pass unseen.

Seriously guys, is the content of the screenshots thats disturbing to you, or the fact that Anti-alising is disabled in some shots?!

You're not buying the damn marketing shots, you're (maybe) buying the game.

Anyhow nice shots looking good and thanks for the wallpaper !

I thought it was just an excited little boat.

sadly Dan if the marketing shots aren't of the best standard, showing the problems fixed that plagued the previous release, then whats the point showing them to a crowd like this? its only going to raise lots of questions as it has clearly done. then you guys have to defend it by saying its ok, we turned that off when we took the screen shot. also i might add you guys know what product you have, we can only go on what we see. sell it to us with the best shots you have surely....

[JScones]

Exactly what I was thinking - I just hadn't finished constructing an, erm, polite way of stating it.

That first screenshot,

I had to look twice to see that it wasn`t a real picture.

[misfitdreamer]

i really like the effects of the water pooling and falling off the deck. that's a really nice touch : )

Viewing that "mediterranean map", i have one little concern..... Why the 10 "dots" or missions¿?¿?¿? Are they represent good patrols at the zone?¿?¿?¿

E.g If i perform 3 missions, will Egypt fall???

I begin to understand the "dynamic campaign". If i perform a mission at Malta, all the Royal Navy units available will go to defend Malta, so my next move is to go to Gibraltar, because no defence (or strong defence) ....

If it is true, I will not buy this, for sure....

I assume that the dots represented the 10 campaigns in this game as mentioned before in the video interview. The Med campaign is the third in this row.
