I'm not arguing that, I'm just saying unless you don't have enough memory, an SSD isn't going to make a difference
It made a big performance difference in Eve Online as well. Especially in fleet fights.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;37742222]I'm running 16 now, but up until a few months ago I was running 8 and doing semi-ok, but in games with massive maps I had some issues[/QUOTE]
I swing with 4 and I literally had no problem with any games, not even PS2.
i have 3gb of ddr2 so that might also be contributing to why the game runs like shit on my pc
I hate to ask this question but how long did it take for you guys to get beta keys?
Also - how's the controls/gameplay in terms of smoothness
it took me ~3 days
day 1: signed up for ign account
day 2: waiting
day 3: email

the game runs choppy for me so i can't give insight as to how smooth it is for decent computers.
I run it at 30-40 fps maxed in a fight.
Im downloading the beta right now, Ill tell you tomorrow when I play it.
You'll probably end up downloading 2/3s of it again tomorrow as well.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;37742746]I run it at 30-40 fps maxed in a fight.[/QUOTE]
i get 50fps in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and 5 fps in large battles
verdict: cpu/ram bottleneck

~thank god higby knows what a dual core is~
Maybe PS2 hates my computer, even though I can run ARMA with a constant 50 FPS.
Its shame because every fight is a slideshow.

that means you can think about your moves more wisely :wink:
you know, i absolutely hate infiltrator class like no other but oh my god, this one sniper was picking my boys and I off left and right and we had to stop everything we were doing to flush him from his hole
The biggest thing about the suckiness of that class is that it has no real purpose in the beginning, but the second you buy one of those huge scopes on it and start picking pegging people from like a grid and a half away then oh my god you become the biggest griefer ever. this fucking guy, let me tell you. and on top of that he was on an organized squad because immediately after he started lining up headshots [on moving targets] his own boys started stealing back facilities that we had just gotten
THIS GAME WHY IS IT SO GOOD
Yep, confirmed no Esamir in tomorrow's FNO. I guess the participating groups were having internal troubles and it was pushed back to next week.
Guess we'll have to wait until launch to see it.
Besides Esamir the thing i'm most looking forward to right now is further cert and attachment unlocks. I think next week's update is going to be the best yet, assuming everything is how they say it will be.

Infiltrators are not strong classes. The sniper rifles are meh, and they die to a good squirt of bullets.
For someone to be a good infiltrator, they have to be [I]really[/I] good.

I didn't even ask for one, never signed up or anything

i think infiltrator will be comically good once players get the ability to purchase other weapons for the class. I can imagine a TR infiltrator with a Chieftan AR no problem or some other compact weapon
yeah, sure, a burst will drop their shields and another burst will kill them, plus when they cloak and uncloak they can be heard like 15 feet away but at the same time a really good infiltrator can wipe targets off of the map at close range without even being spotted with the sniper rifle as it is. why not give him a better cqb weapon?
i think that would be wicked. i'd play as infiltrator if i could get a cqb weapon with a silencer that muffles the gunshots down to the point where you can't hear anything from the next room over
also i'm really interested in seeing what they add to squad leader positions since that's all i play as. everybody i've met so far who tries to be a squad leader usually just hands it over to me because they do awful in comparison anyway

also if you guys play US EAST 03 on TR, send me a friends request. I've got a company going called Voice Ops which is designed only so when you get on you can just get on to company voice chat and ask for likeminded people to squad up with you
if you're not on US EAST 03 and are on 01 or 02, wth is wrong with you man. 03 is where the action is!!!
add me: redqne
I can't hit shit with the sniper rifle at close range, but NC's sidearm pretty much decimates everything at close range so I'm alright with that
yeah what the hell the only time i ever get killed by NC scum is by their mag pistol whatever the hell it's called
but at the same time like 75% of my kills is literally NC. which is funny because i'm always fighting VS

Yeah you're WELCOME

Except if everyone else has a decent framerate, you'll be dead before you can put your plan into action :v:
Does anyone knows what EU01 will be called after they rename the servers?

Those are probably in order of 01, 02 and 03.

Since they've gave them names because people were listing the servers from 1-3 by popularity, they could have just scrambled it.

This actually looks pretty good, I love snow warfare. (2142 nostalgia)
I am very upset at the lack of visible trenches.
Broke my automerge. :(
[QUOTE=Raijin;37742013]it might not be optimized for SDDs.[/QUOTE]
An SDD sure as hell isn't going to hurt. The modern bottleneck in most PC's is the HDD. Even a 10k RPM drive's read speed is far surpassed by the throughput capabilities of motherboard chipsets and CPUs. Having a large amount of ram helps a lot, but not every program is made to take advantage of large amounts of ram. I have 16gb of ram and frankly, it is often wasted.
