On Russian forum from developers (not official statement):

Translation: at this point about 50% of features is off (just not ready), but devs will slowly add this features in game when it is ready. In future: new clouds with sub-scattering, new weather, landscape.

Also they say that current water is place-holder from DX9 version. New water will have a wave, surf, and will be transparent - you can see ships below waterline, submarine, bottom of the sea.

But right now they fixing bugs and work on optimisation.

Good job at copy/paste from another forum! Too bad Ilya already explained the original poster hasn't worked for MG in 18 months.

Yes a very interesting thread and some helpful insights into what really went on behind the walls at 1c/MG.... the sad fiasco and crazy debacle over COD's lack of creditable development...as most of us have alreday found out the hard way, this game is not only unfinished...its unfinished beyond belief and this ex employees disgruntled remarks only serve to highlight the total shambles, the lack of management and disorder within the Dev team....so much for the great Oleg maddox providing leadership and direction in important times and living up to his name as a well respected and capable guru in his field...in reality it looks like he's nothing more than a lowly deserter who left his post and the struggling/inadequate team to fumble on in the dark without him..

So at least 50% of the games contents are nothing more than crappy place-holders, temp insertions to hold the game together, no wonder it lacks so much finesse, the cheap awful sounds, the crappy AI, the dx9 basic shader routines everywhere like flickering ground shadows, the dx9 water, the laughable and rubbish clouds that swirl around worse than the FSX 2d sprites!, the lack of rain or any weather engine, the pseudo full screen mode that wont allow proper FSAA or even the use of 3rd party forced AA because they need true full screen modes to work!.....its a shame that this sort of thing happens in the modern world of games software...this game got neglected and messed about so much its shameful they even released it in such a state, shameful for ALL involved.....it obviously has HUGE potential still and already even after a few patches shows great promise....lets just hope Luthier can continue to sort this mess out!......no wonder Oleg maddox did a runner!....he boasts other jobs and other commitments...shows where his priorities must now reside i guess, shame becausde i cant help feeling if he led this development with 100% commitment and conviction it would of been awesome now!...and not in another 2-3 years!...

So 50% of the game is officially porked? Seems about right to me...
