I see potential, but damn does it suck to play with retards.

the voice chat system in the full game will help alleviate that immensely.

There's voice chat in the demo.

Anything I need to do to get this running? I've select the "Voip" option under audio and have a mic and headset working. Still, I've never heard anyone else. I don't think anyone has heard me, either. What button is it to talk? I was sort of confused by all the choices in the menu (Radio, Sec. Radio, etc.).

You have to be in a squad, then you can only talk to your squad, or you can be the commander then you can talk to your squad leaders.

EDIT: Also the server must support VOIP. It's the little headphone icon in the server list.

Thanks. I thought it might just be squad only. The last few servers I've been in haven't really done the squad thing...everyone is just running around on their own.

Anyone with 1gb,3000+@3200+,6600GT,ect running it? What settings and any slowdown?

i have a amd 64 3200+, 6600gt , 1GB Memory. Shadows off (do this for every game i play), lighting medium, texture medium, everything else High including 4xAA. I ran fraps and pulled an average of 55 fps after playing for 20 minutes.

Perfectly smooth, great game, i reserved my copy today

That does not sound like online play, and definately not 32 or 64 players.

That is ONLINE play and a FULL 64 player server. No joke.

Unless Fraps is wrong or something. Every time i play i take my average FPS. The lowest average I have ever got was 54 fps. AND i make sure to look at fps killing stuff (like when there is an artillary strike and a lot of action). Never averaged lower than 54fps. If I have been flying for a while my average fps is usually higher, around 60s. keep in mind, these are with the settings i posted above with shadows completly OFF.

Why would I make that up?

i didnt say you made it up, im saying that is very high performance for a large online server. and simply *AMAZING* for a 6600GT since my 6800GT can barely match it.

Im on almost the same system he is...
im runnign 1600x1200 4x AA everything on high inc shadows....

and its smooth as glass...
on full 64 man servers...

your rig is sick if you got issues...

A64 3200 2 gig Kingston value ram 6800 GT not Oced ASUS K8N-E mb
A2 ZS sound... and the game is installed on a 200G SATA drive..

no issues at all..
great game already reserved it.

its because you have 2 gigs of ram. he doesnt, its not the same system. He would be well over the 1GB threshold at 1600x1200 with 4XAA.
