I really hate how awful the unreal engine can perform and look sometimes. The problem is in the lighting and shadows. When you have to get rid of depth of field everything looks utterly colorless and depressing. It has happened with red orchestra 2 and tribes ascend. I have a gtx 580 and a 3.0 quadcore with 8gb of ram and still have performance hickups on both of these games. I just really think its time to come out with a better performing engine. I know there are people out there that have no problems and love to disregard those that do, but I am speaking the truth. There are serious performance issues with the UT3 engine especially with multiplayer games.
Wow, I can not believe it has been 4 years. I can remember being a sophomore in college and working in my schools computer lab. To pass the hours of boredom I would often visit this site. It was just getting its feet wet and really was and still is the best source for all mmo news.
I also want to thank you for the countless beta keys you have supplied me! I can not remember a favorite beta but any beta is better than no beta I suppose.
I will however regret to inform that MMO's for me have become somewhat dull. I really hope the next gen brings something new because I am now 23 and the current standard just isn't cutting it.
Bridge battles were certainly my favorite part of Planetside. A friend and I still tell the story of pre-nerf biffers. We took one on 1 on 1 in a thundy while weaving under a bridge. It took around 15 minutes and we finally took it down. We got something like 2000 or 3000 exp and we were not new to the game but at the time that was a lot! We were actually lanning at the time and we just jumped for joy like little children. It is just moments like that I can safely say I have never had in all the PC games I have played. They truly made an amazing game. The potential for satisfaction is just so high.
I am stumped by this as well. Why are they keeping us in the dark? Don't they know Planetside vets are absolute FANATICS.
You can't just mildly like Planetside. At least I couldn't. I was completely convinced it was the best thing that ever happened to PC gaming. The fights were so epicccc!
I can not say I am surprised. Balance in MMOs takes a LONG time. It is a disheartening fact we all have to face. All players will take the path of least resistance in game.
