yeah that's just a test bed, I'm hoping they will user higher textures than that - or atleast give us the option, they are still limited atm.
Last night I ran a retaliator with 8 people in it, we just destroyed everything that came near us. someone was playing star wars music for added effect hehe it was awesome. Even the engineer enjoyed.
also - delta patcher works fine, I used it to update to 3.0.1 over the weekend and have used over christmas.
To those thinking 60fps won't be achievable, I've already had it, on empty server, so the client itself can definitely achieve it. Once there have been improvements network side, we'll get something better.
The talk about optimisation in 3.1 aren't wholely true, 3.1 is a performance fix, but it's not the only improvement - each build will have improvements, such as those listed in 3.4
