Y'all didn't get the memo? All VS infantry are getting cloaking devices, Obama had just activated it as the screenshot was taken.

Would not be surprised if the screenshots end up going backwards in quality over time if they realize it needs to be scaled back. But yeah looking quite good.

I'd assume most people will have to turn down graphics. Yeah, the game engine can do all these cool things but when you add 100s of players on the same screen at the same time your PC's hardware has to be able to handle it. But, maybe ForgeLight is this amazing engine that can give us the pretty with the many... <shrug>

Either the normals are backwards or there are a few polygons missing from that location.

Along with graphics, game engines are typically focusing on pumping out the most from even crappy machines.

But then, when you're developing a game you're planning to keep running and for people to keep playing for years to come, it might not be such a bad idea to set a maximum graphics bar that runs well under mid-high end rigs 4-5 years down the road. I mean, look at Battlefield 3. A lot of people are probably only running that on High settings. In a few years, everyone that likes to play games should be able to run it on Ultra, unless they're still on their WoW era machines (but then wth are they doing playing BF3?)

It's like a mixture of snakeskin and Vanu chain mail. I love it.

I just now noticed the right shoulder. I kept looking at the left one. Then again it looks like the very left soldier has the same. Looks more like tubing, as Khell has mentioned. Anywhoooo..

That's because you are looking in a loop of tubing.

He's talking about seeing through Obama's right shoulder pad to the scene in the hills beyond.

OMG! Is that Vanu himself on the hilltop, in an apparition, like Mars or Ares, overseeing the battle and being pleased with what he sees?

They will still be the most played though.

"Weapons that instantgib, sounds like a nobrainer to me"

i see the battles now, NC instantgib rifles vs VS shock rifles and link guns vs TR miniguns.
