To be fair, he's not wrong. The scene itself isn't amazing, what is amazing is the scale of the scenery. Rolling vistas, littered with buildings, vehicles and infantry, slowing changing from day to night, with plasma and rockets, tracers and explosions lighting the scenery in different ways.
In motion it looks excellent.
In that screenshot, not so much
The lighting effects in that screenshot are superb but I agree some of the textures etc aren't perfect. That said, in motion I think the game is beautiful, especially as it gets darker. It seems to be such a marmite thing, I genuinely cant see where people complaining about the graphics are coming from and I'm sure they think we are nuts for thinking they are so good.
Well i think it looks awesome, as long as its keeping me happy thats all that matters
i am a sucker for lots of nice lighting
I think it looks fantastic too, the performance issues are annoying (the spec you require to run a decent frame rates is a little silly) however i hope for this to be sorted early next year.
I think people get way to hung up on graphics, gameplay for me is so much more important
Dunn, don't worry I think it looks amazing in motion
Is there a way to zoom the minimap in/out? It's unbearably small at the moment!
The h key will make it larger, its not a zoom as such though, it just takes up more screen space.

I know right, it should look good like Crysis right because Crysis could easy handle 2000 or so players in the same map.
You play easy mode Venu yeah?

Yeah I do lol.
Just got the heat scope for my Orion, can see Infilitrators all over the place
I and my outfit really hate Vanu, you guys are the most powerful faction, best tank, best infantry weapons, best flyers, best camo, it's going so bad that we sometimes just avoid fights with Vanu now because it's just silly retarded.
The only negative thing I had about Vanu when I played them was that the Mowertanks didn't have much Ammo as the other faction tanks.
Guess it's not a problem now since it seems everyone has a Ammo sund driving around.

It's payback for us being underpowered in PS1.
Oh, and you forgot the Vanu have the best co-ordination, strategy, tactics, communication and outfits as well

How did you get in then?
Yeah ok, guess you are TR right?
Is that why the VS weapons were nerfed this patch? Oh wait, they weren't! Because they are not OP.
The TR had 3 guns nerfed because they are overpowered. You lose against Vanu because TR is made up of 16 year old COD fanboys and 40 yearold neckbeards with no job. Come back to Vanu, we won't hold it against you for being with the noob faction, we forgive you
Cobblers.
Admittedly the Magmower's strafe is very handy, but remember it needs to face in the direction it wants to fire in meaning engaging targets takes longer. Infantry weapons are something everyone complains about. TR weapons are bloody silly with their spray and pray; NC have great damage; VS have good accuracy over most distances, it's six of one and half a dozen of another. ESF's I can't say because I only fly when I have to, but I see many, many more Mozzies and Reavers than I do Sythes so ours can't be that much better. As for camo - no idea what you mean here. Beyond being daft enough to choose the bright empire specific ones, we all get access to the same ones.

Magriders can turn on a coin in no time and in all my engagements with them, they don't seem to have trouble doing that.
Like any tank or vehicle out there, if you come up on it from behide, then it's pretty much dead but that doesn't happen often in big battles.
Your infantry weapons have nearly no bullet drop and little recoil which pretty makes them aimbots since you hit where you aim and as such you kill more easy then anyone else.
Camo? You guys wear all black and purple.
Sythes can hover better then anyone else and have a sleeker then the Mozzie or Reaver.
Even one of the Devs have said that the VS are "a little OP" and that's his words.

The weird design of the Scythe and it's hitbox, they are almost impossible to hit at X or Y angles. The shots just go "though" it.
Yeah, very nice video.
I just watched a video of watching some guys get a Prowler inside a Bio Dome, that was pretty awesome, get that and a Ammo Sund up there and you be set for the night.
Magriders are strong but that is about it in terms of VS having the upper hand.
We might not have that much bullet drop, but our recoil and damage at range sucks. I've got a TR char and their weapons albeit fire slower have almost no recoil and with the hand grip pretty much 100% accuracy unless you can't aim. It was why their weapons were nerfed this patch and not Vanu's.
Camo we wear darker, but it's not impossible to see Vanu at all. I've played at night on TR and although it's harder its hardly game breaking.
Scythes, yeah ok they may hover better but thats about the only advantage they have over Reavers/Mozzies.
I am not bothered what a Dev states at all, if they intend on nerfing Vanu then they will be on par with NC while TR will be top dog. I think all that needs to happen is NC get a little buff to be brought up to par with both TR/Vanu especially after the nerf on TR weapons in yesterdays patch.
PS. I think our Maxes are the worst out of all three.
