Means everything, but just continue on.

Next time you're at your General Practitioners office, ask him to do surgery.

Yeah, Force10...maybe you should let this one slip. I'm a network technician, I do networks, servers and stuff but I can barely code a basic html page.:) We had some very basic coding in school but main focus was on networks and network structures.

Putting the job specialization stuff to one side (please) then one thing we can all probably agree on - we don't really know what exactly is going on in their dev team, but it's slow progress so far.

Thank you. That's the point I was trying to make, even though people here are acting like they know exactly what's going on. I guess some folks don't understand that there are plenty of Indie developers out there with one and two man teams, where they cross over and do both. John Carmack and John Romero used to do both...you might know them....they basically created the first person shooter. It's just frustrating when someone thinks it's "impossible" that a person can be good at more than one skill. They think never in the history of gaming has a person been able to model and code. Can't give a clue to the clueless I suppose....

Sprites are not 3D modelling.

What about Indie developers? I'm an image retoucher that has to do assembly as well. The 3D modelers here at work have to know 3D Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, and Modo. Most specialize in one but are proficient in others and they have to cross over into other areas. Basically, the more programs and areas you are good at makes you more of an asset to the company. That goes for any company really.

3D modelers that have to know 3D programming software?

That's like a computer programmer knowing how to use a few compilers.

It should be obvious to everyone when you use the same game engine for every sequel, the only people working on the sequel exclusively are the, data collectors, map makers, and campaign builders. BlackSix is a campaign builder and is working on the Sequel exclusively. The majority of the development crew will be working on aspects that apply to EVERY sequel, the Game Engine Code, AI, Commands, FM, DM, Trees, Water, Clouds, Dynamic Weather. Not sure why this isn't obvious. Also some of the aircraft being built for the sequels will be used historically on the COD map aswell, so even some of the aircraft modelers aren't working exclusively for any particular sequel.

Please read the above Chivas....

Is what FF wrote, inaccurate?

'tis, as most feel they know exaclty what is going on. So yes inaccurate, sorry Frog
