lol, I'm in a outfit on Miller called 252v and on Saturday someone spent all night in platoon chat playing morale boosting tracks. Was so funny knowing an entire outfit of 100+ players were all hearing the same music. Intergalactic was a highlight, had about 20 players jumping around and circle strafing.

Think I caught part of that in the Zerg lol, could just hear music playing.

Still loving this. Looking forward to the dune buggies and snow-mobiles.

Anybody else getting horrendous lag on Miller at the moment? I had to log off as things were bouncing around the map in front of me.

Guess I'm boring.. I hate hearing random music when playing as a team, interferes with hearing people and important sounds cues.

Where can i read about these type of updates?

I think Vanu on Miller has all the special people, seriously it's like playing with a load of idiots. It happens so regulary i shouldn't get annoyed, but we sit outside with 1 sunderer as all the other points have gone down and everyone goes sniper while tanks just stroll on round the side of us and destroy us.

It's like they have tunnel vision, only thing they pay attention to is the person they are trying to kill and have no awareness of whats going on around them at all.

So much derpage it hurts.

Pics aren't very clear (apology). Playing on Miller server as NC. Medium settings at 1080p

My rig: Q9650@4GHz, 5850 1GB, 4Gb ram

Looking at cpu, ram and gfx usage data, my

-cpu usage between 55-61% (average) even during heavy action
-total ram usage was just over 3.3GB!! (out of 4GB total)
-gpu usage varied anywhere from 39% to 61% mainly staying at 58%
-gpu vram just over 500Mb


28-35 FPS only !!


What does it all mean? Imo game isn't utilising my cpu and gpu fully. Even BF3 uses more of my cpu and gpu at around 79-85% and 95-96% respectively on average.

 

[nitram100]

It's a well known fact that the game doesn't use CPU's very well, there is a patch next week promising big FPS improvements. If it's any consolation I see 35fps on my rig as well at times.

You may all be idiots, but you still idiots with the most OP'ed weapons in the game.

Anyway, joined a small outfit this week. There is only 8 of us but we all use Vent and have a good laugh, really does improve the game a lot, can't believe I played for so long without one.

Hoping there be a double SC promotion soon, am down to 1000 SC after spending £30 on SC to buy some weapons and camo's. Got pretty annoyed that the last two weapons I bought, they was on a "sale" the next day. :l

They are not overpowered at all, if it was my choice i'd have gone TR. I've got a TR on another server and their weapons are mad and don't even get me started on Mozzies with Rocket Pods.

Yup i play with a small group of 8-10 aswell and have such a laugh.

 

[opethdisciple]

Supposedly this game uses Physx!?

[opethdisciple]

Sweet so I was justified getting an Nvidia card, this time around.

There are plenty of top games out only just recently that use Physx, so that puts to bed the argument that there are hardly any games that use it!

 

[hardkore]

Physx is turned off though isn't it?

 

[WILD9]

Physx is turned off though isn't it?

Yes, they had a few issues with it. They are apparently fixed now though so should be re-enabled with the next patch.

 

[hardkore]

Sweet! Can't wait to lose a few more frames

 

[torN]

Yes, they had a few issues with it. They are apparently fixed now though so should be re-enabled with the next patch.

Have they said which patch?

 

[Sam]

But no good for my 7970 right

 

[Divinious]

Is the double XP weekend confirmed for Europe as well? I've not seen any official announcements for it

Agreed. I play Vanu on Miller and recently tried out TR on another server, my jaw literally dropped when I started hosing people down, their guns are 100% easy mode no two ways about it. I already know that when I am up against a TR Medic or HA, I will not win, because they get off so many more shots before I do. TR attracts the most players because their guns are most like call of duty (easy to use).

Also, mossies with rocket spam are ****** ridiculous. It's a one man ESF that can dominate infantry, vehicles etc glad to hear they are getting nerfed as well as more ground AA buffing. You had your day flyboys !
