Your Warfare thoughts

[Devilguns]

Warfare is awesome. The orb keeps the game fast paced and your fingers white knuckled. Had some really awesome rounds tonight with some other veteran ONSers who look like they are adapting quite well.

At first I was kind of eheheheh but now I'm starting to get it. ONS played a lot like a controlled chess game. Get to this node first, put the Hellbender behind that tree, lay 50 spider-mines over there, perch the tank on that ridge, ect. The game play is more free form and abstract. Warefare is definately more chaotic and breaks the ONS lather, rinse, repeat game play.

The game right now definately feels a lot more balanced than traditional ONS as well.

So how's everyone liking it?

I like it too bud, but at present there are very few folks playing it, unfortunately.

I love it. It's basically ONS with a twist. It's taken me a while to get used to the maps, even the new Torlan.

You'll be seeing me in the server whenever i have free time.

I love the gameplay but the new maps are too small. I miss Redplanet and Dria and Crossfire. :-(

The mod teams will hopefully fix that.

Highly doubt that as the engine doesn't seem to be that powerful on todays machines. Framerates really drop easily, even on smaller maps.

No framerate problems here. And why would the FPS counter make the modders stay away?

The best large map is useless if people on midrange systems can't play it.

I turned everything down to low. And the game still feels worse than Crysis in terms of framerate.

Obviously a few have not played some of my maps for DM/TAM on 2004, was one thats real fun, lots of paths and stuff. Real pretty, and its a FPS monster at some parts of the map lmao
It was well played too lol

If its fun, and great people will play it no matter what.

Woah! Are you sure it isn't Vista causing you these problems? I have the same Gfx card as you but mine is the 320mb version and i get smooth framerates at 1680x1050 with both sliders set to #4.

I was just about to say that, 4x AA 8800gt Full settings with all the bloom on and my computer is kicking is Butt with 50-60 fps. I suspect your problems are not the game Grisu.

I guess I should try installing it on my XP boot to see if this helps out with my issues. That could take a while because I havent updated anything on XP in several months but it would be interesting to see if it helps.

The retail version plays so much better than the demo for me. I have both sliders on 2 and I'm getting 30+ fps occasionally dipping into the 20's with intense action. And when I put both on 1 (which still looks pretty good to me) I'm getting 50+ and thats on my agp based system.

I agree, the game runs better for me in retail.

I've got a core 2 duo @ 3ghz, ati 1950xt on xp and my framerate is solid 40+ (20's when it gets rough)

I've got texture on 5, and world on 1 with muted post processing (game looks better without it imo!)

Anyone know how to use the Necris Scavenger with any degree of success? This is the one vehicle I haven't quite figured out yet. Seems difficult to turn, and the little "nano" probe thing that floats around it doesn't seem to do much on the few times I've been able to deploy it properly.
