Where are the REAL new maps, airplanes, air to ground radar, real optimized multiplayer, a truly next gen engine?.

I don't recall where this 'unoptimized engine' bs myth keeps coming from, but that's exactly what it is: a bs myth.

And EVEN just the textures and additional area took someone's time to do - significant time.

The price is what it is due to time and effort spent on the product; it is not based upon your (incorrect) impression of what it is.
