No, they've opened a thing for Paying players to help test the F2P server though, or something like this, I read 'bout it last week.

So I wanted to play some classic games. I started with Freedom Fighters.

Only just finished uploading like 5-10 mins ago, but what do you guys think? Made it using Sony Vegas 10 Pro Trial. Not getting the full package, obviously. Might just get the Movie Studio HD 11 Software.
It seems 480p adds more pixelation to the PIP, but makes the larger video better. I found 360p better personally.

[Viorotica]

Looks good, although i can see some weird AA issues on the window.

Holy shit nostalgia. Me and my friend used to play the living shit out of Freedom Fighters on the PS2. Split screen versus was so much fucking fun since you could have a big squad of AI guys running around with you. A two player battle became a large battle when we had ten dudes each.

I shit myself. And then I beat my record and got up to 63 million on boss rush.

For someone who has never touched a bullet-hell before, I'd say that's not half bad.

[QUOTE=roxahris;32649420]Rage is a pretty good show of why megatextures are great for environments, but not for objects.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/coeyV.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]

The thing that strikes me about this game is that in scenes like that I don't think having unique textures is even important. There is so much detail(in terms of chairs, scaffolding, and other objects) that it sort of is beside the point if there are repeating textures. What good is it if that distant rock looks completely unique when the wall you are standing next to looks blurred?

But the walls do look blurred anyway. Just look at some of Rage's other screenshots... Textures are incredibly low resolution in the game at some points, however, I must say it does its lighting quite well.

[hypno-toad]

I may be wrong, but I think the "mega textures" are only done on terrain surfaces. I dont see how it'd be possible to make and render an entire base as one model with a single UV map, unless it's only really meant to be one singular object such as one building)

Interiors and the like are probably broken up into multiple pieces, and textured separately, and Im guessing they re-use assets in places.

[IdiotStorm]

[QUOTE=RichyZ;32657978]though the textures are shit, the large scale non close up looks you get at the environment are fucking beautiful[/QUOTE]

what's the point of having 20GB of textures if you're just going to make really far away bits the only things that look good

[sami-elite]

I think i'd rather have a good scenery thank high res close up textures..
It's about the feel of the game after all.

[install gentoo]

Id tech 5 is a bit too forward looking, with vram and download speeds being the limiting factor. In a few years megatextures will be the obvious choice for game engines.

[bobsynergy]

Trying to capture the 9th January Square in Red Orchestra 2 and my Commander went out of our position and went to look out the window with his SVT-40 because tons of Germans were coming from that direction and all over the place and defending there, things didn't end up so well for him........ (shot in the eye) (also this is using the in game screen shot button instead of fraps so that's why it looks a bit blurry)

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZAi79.jpg[/IMG]

Ended up having more guys come and assist me in taking the square but thanks to my amazing PPSH with the Drum Mag I took out most of the Germans coming in to help and any Germans left defending. It was damn intense as well as every window was basically covered by a Rifleman, MG or Sniper, had to pick up that dead Commanders smoke grenades and throw them around the building so I could set up at the windows.

Who was the other dead guy?

[bobsynergy]

[QUOTE=Framperton;32658934]Who was the other dead guy?[/QUOTE]

Just one of the Squad Leaders who decided to take a peek for him self, that was a bit before the Commander died though as he was taking it with me then he died, then the Commander came. Though with the body of the Squad Leader still fresh there it was really stupid of the Commander to look out, kind of unexpected though as the second he looked out, there was a hole in his eye and he just dropped.

I wish more games had bullet holes on bodies, they add a lot to the game.

I wish I could run games at resolutions that actually look decent. I'm stuck with BFBC2 at 720p on lowest settings. With particles turned off.

I need a new rig. How does an i5/16GB RAM/560Ti sound?

You would probably be able to max out everything with great FPS with that rig, but unless you are doing some form of rendering or modding, the 16GB of RAM I think would be overkill and not necessary.

[Makol]

16gb of ram is over kill.

Game is Red Orchestra 2

Defending the second capzone on Red October Factory the Commander ran out of the building ahead and artillery landed right infront of him which took off his arm and sent him flying backwards right back in the building.

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25743084/rogame%202011-10-06%2018-40-05-19.png[/IMG]

Defending the last Cap with a Engineer and the Commander against the Russains who were charging in like crazy, was very very intense.

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25743084/rogame%202011-10-06%2018-37-31-40.png[/IMG]

Took out a Russian with a grenade at the last capzone who took out those 2 team mates on the right, threw the grenade from cover and he got up right at the right time to go beside it and it slammed him against the wall. (if you can't see it, his body is a bit ahead of my iron sights a bit to the left)

If it requires a lot like that then sure, 16GB of RAM is fine, should of specified that though :v:, made it sound like you were only using it to play games.
