Whoa. :Q

Yeah, the details on the outdoor maps in particular are bad-ass. Best-looking grass/trees/foliage in any game I've seen.
The texture and geometry looks outstanding. I must say, I'd like a bit better light work, though. Maybe its just the contrast on my monitor, but the pic seems a bit dull looking. More contrast between light and dark would make it look atmospheric - but I guess that would be a hindrance for a multiplayer game.

Just nit-picking. :)

Does instant action work for anyone else? I get an error if i try it from the start mode.

What is the multiplayer patch for? It never finds any severs when I click on join game? Why is there a multiplayer patch? Can you direct connect to someone through their IP?

The shots dont do it justice, it looks a LOT better in play. The one I have is timebombed, but that was easily taken care of. I still have those pics, but I'd need direct FTP access to upload them, you can barely attach anything to a yahoo email.

Hehe, the fire effect is very cool. The best effect is watching the shadow of the trees sway on the ground, and the smoke that can be blown out of the way.

Instant action works perfect for me, its pretty much my only way of playing.

I turned aniso off, and my frame rate pretty much doubled. Before I was skeptical, but for the way it look, it performs absolutely beautiful. Doesnt seem to ever drop much at all now.

I'd say it performs about on par with MOHAA, maybe even a little better.


And a disclaimer that I should have said a long time ago:

I dont know how to get it, I dont know where I got it and no, I'm not sending it to you.

Like has been said, the screenshots don't do is justice. :)

I'll take your word for it. Still waiting patiently for the demo or final release.
