I absolutely love this game and think it's brilliantly designed it is my most anticipated game of the year (coming from a UT addict). Kudos to the design team, but sheesh, doesn't anyone of them run XP with a higher refresh of 60 Hz? It makes my eyes bleed.

In case anyone is interested, there's a rather large petition thread on the EA forums requesting support for the All-Seeing Eye. Currently GameSpy is holding the server list hostage so support isn't currently possible, but in the span of one day the thread has grown to be one of the biggest there.

I am experiencing some very strange Lag-problems with the MP-demo. I have played the SP-demo alot - always running in res. around 1280*1024*32, and it has been fluid as water. When I try to start the MP-demo on my just-created-server (ie. alone) I get bad fps in anything from 800*600*32 and up.

If I try for example 1024*768*32 and every setting turned on - and open up the big map ([Enter]-key) - the mousemovement-delay is somewhere around 0.1-0.2 secs. Its more like a mouse-trail than an actual mouse-movement...

In first-person view that trail translates into choppy rendering as soon as I try any fast movements.

My specs:
Xp 1800+
512 Mb ram
Geforce 3 ti200 (lates detonator-drivers)
Sonic Vortex2 (tried with it disabled as well, no difference)
Logitech Mouse

Any input/advice would be VERY appreciated!

I'm a bit worried about this game. The game still has some major/minor bugs. Sometimes when I shoot people they stay standing. Other times I see people moving but the leg animation isn't working so they are skiing around. The game crashes every so often, the interface doesn't register mouse clicks sometimes. The whole thing just doesn't seem polished.

On the other hand its darn fun. I'm going to wait and see how buggy the retail version is before buying it for sure. I've got my fingers crossed that it will be good.

My god, if I run my plane into a tree that just happens to be near a AA gun, I damn well expect the blue soilder in the AA gun, and any other units in the vicinity to die dammit ! Increase the explosive potential for downed aircraft.

Perfectly good waste of a kamikaze pilot (thats me!) and the only things I get out of it is a dead me, and whomever is around laughing thier asses off.

But I played all weekend and had a blast, can never get over the feeling of getting into the tail gunner slot with some guy you never seen before, going against your gut and trusting him to at least kill us in battle, only to have us crash off the carrier. Or you get 2 knmbnuts trying to take off at the same time...<sigh>

My only gripe :

If you die and are choosing a spot to spawn and a push is being made into enemy territory, DO NOT spawn with the other 10 teammates on the carrier and wait for a plane. jesus. If you do at least make a engineer to repair the damn thing. I love seeing our points going down and down , only to look at the carrier and see 10 arrows having a circle jerk where the planes spawn. All the while the carrier is getting pummeled and the AA guns are all empty, just lovely.

All good fun, I was kind of iffy on the game until I went on the shack server, thank you !

This one looks damned interesting! From what I've heard it seems to have a good balance of realism to fun (not taking away all the fun because fun isn't realistic in war).

I'm just curious about something...does it penalize you for moving? I mean if you move does your gun become completely inaccurate? This is a pet peeve of mine and while doing it a little is fine I'm hoping that it isn't a matter of "you must completely stop moving when you shoot, we don't want you to shoot and move at the same time because even though it might be fun it isn't realistic." Also, how fast does the fastest class move...and how fast does a guy with a sub machinegun move? Just curious. Even if I don't like everything it still looks cool to me in a big big way (especially the vehicles).

the sniper gun will simply NOT hit some1 vry far away, the game is choppy on a high end system with a 50ms ping. you ever see airplanes getting shot down? no ,b/c the net code is so bad it'll never happen, you cant hit anything if its moving. what a joke, gg, k ty, go home devs

Issues that I hope get corrected:

Potential memory leak that causes insane graphical lag to come out of nowhere after playing for some time. Many feel this in varying degrees.

Clips reporting the ammo count in a unconventional way. i.e. I have one round chambered in the sniper rifle, bazooka, or tank/plane ready to fire and it says I have one round left. Maybe it's just me, but I'm used to loading weapons not counting chambered ammo.

Sniper rifles reload an imaginary round after firing last shot, then force you to put another clip in.

Once you exchange clips, you can't go back to previous, unfinished clips.

'God' weapons respawning by themself too fast. Artillery and AA guns respawn about 60 seconds after they are destroyed. It can take a lot of effort to destroy them and for them to pop right back up is bad for gameplay. Times closer to ship respawns would be more appropriate. Make it an option to adjust those weapons' respawns to make engineers more valuable.

Make recursive offenses of destroying your own team's equipment, either by poor pilotting or liberal use of fire on friendlies, result in longer respawn times for that player.

Sounds good, I'll be picking it up.

that 60hz bug is a brutal one, and like someone told me on rad''s server, use powerstrip to force the refresh rates to whatever (85 in my case)
works great.

one thing that needs to be added is an fov command or closer 3rd person view for vehicles/planes..
and lets hope they fixed them shitty hitboxes :/

This game is made by the same company that made Codename:Eagle right? Most of you probably haven't played Codename:Eagle, or even heard of it, but it was the sweetest LAN game EVER. When my friend showed it to me it looked like crap at first but oh my god did the gameplay RULE. The only problems with it were poor netcode and weak ground combat, yet the game was still the most fun ever on a lan. Pwned CS, pwned Q3, pwned DoD, pwned Halo, you name it it pwned it. So if this game is made by the same company, and has a similar arcade like feel to it, I'm definitely picking this one up.(On a crappy 56k at the moment so can't dl the demo).
