Anyone notice how much better the graphics look in those shots?

[jsloan31]

Yeah, I noticed that too...

They're using the Far Cry engine to render them! Hax!

But, yeah, those are awesome.

[Hamma]

Pretty cool looking

[JetRaiden]

I think the reason why they look better is because its not the same continents Ive seen dozens and dozens and dozens of times.

extinction is gonna be a frame rate killer like hossin but it still looks really cool

[EarlyDawn]

Extinction looks cool as a giant vehicular CTF with Aircraft. Ascention looks like a combined infantry / artillary map, and Extinction looks like APC / lighter vehicles.

Now i have been out of the loop for a long time so if this question sounds retarded please excuss it.

Are these battle continents being added to the ones that are already in the game?

[NoSurrender]

[Rbstr]

They probably SSed them with Mzx settings, the game doesn't look half bad when teh settigns are all teh way up

They're being added, but the Devs plan on retiring a few of the original ones. We don't know which.

[JetRaiden]

desolation will be the home of tank battles.

I was wondering what "visit extinction", etc was in the training that I had never seen before.

[SilverLord]

This is going to be fun to see which continents get tossed.

[BUGGER]

That volcanic one looks pretty sweet, and same with the sandy one. Though i feel people will use more heavy vehicles in this cause on normal continents you need lighter vehicles for speed across the big terrain. Here it shouldn't be too big.
