    You mean "more photoshop enhanced bollocks".


    Wish ID/SD would stop doing that, the game looks good enough as it is without giving it artificial tone.

      exactly because mine sure doesnt look like that and im running two 2900's in crossfire. i equate mine to looking something like a 3 year old turd wrapped in a paper bag.

        what makes you think they are photoshopped?



        Generally look the same as screenshots, all we have is beta with one map to compare to.

          You don't get half the lighting effects in-game, and it has a glazed over look to it.

          If anything, it looks like BF2 set in the Quake universe in the screenshots.

            u have to set r_megadrawmethod 0, game defaults to 3 which is faster lower quality.



            Setting to 0 makes lighting alot better


            If anything, it looks like BF2 set in the Quake universe in the screenshots.
            and what bf looks like tribes set in our universe? Any games screenshots can look like anothers if you use your imagination.

            Important thing is it plays like ET, just in quake universe with vehicles.

              I'm talking about the way the lighting is, in the official screenshots. Look at the jet POTDs on this forum, they look very similar. In-game, it resembles FEAR more than anything.

                Lighting would be different for each map/location, comparison shots between beta and official shots look the same, theres 2 official shots of this map.

                  not in the beta im playing it doesn't ...

                  i hope they will add a little more polish before release but the game play is solid enough.

                    After playing the beta these screen shots seem misleading. They show a support helicopter, and people working together in squads. But in-game it's rare to see clusters of troops like that, you're far more likely to see people more spread out within a room to keep from getting blown up by a grenade or taken out by one guy. The screen shots show an entirely different set of tactics than what people lay with, or the game is designed for.

                      Yeah, but if you notice, they removed a lot of effects like fog, and electric sparks and whatnot.

                      It doesn't take away from the game, but still...

                        Don't compare the beta to the other levels, imo these don't look photoshopped at all, my graphics are up and the game does look that good, also it seems as if the enviroments from map to map are quiet different and more unique, these maps don't look anything like the poor map in the beta. The beta map is a terrible representation of the game's potential all togethor, it's mainly indoor combat with some roads (maybe two) for the vehicles to roam, while looking at other retail maps it seems theres much more wide open area for more vehicle fights.

                        Open enviroments:







                        Compared to much of the beta...

                          You do have a point, but we won't find out till the game comes out. Every company does this though

                            Sorry guys, seems as if the developers left out the 'higher-end' graphics in the beta so the game would be easier to use for all testers.

                            Type this into the console. (ctrll + alt+ ~ to enter the console)
                            r_megadrawmethod 0

                            0 forces the ultimate quality renderer. It will drop your framereates. If you don't have a fast pc, you might want to forgo this. Some renderers were left out to make the beta compatible for all testers.

                            In order to not have to type this command each time you quit, you can create an "autoexec.cfg" file and put it in your Documents/Enemy Territory Quakewars/Base folder.

                            Open notepad, type... r_megadrawmethod 0, save as autoexec.cfg in base folder (be sure to save as Type "All Files" or it won't save it as a CFG file). Hint: You can also place the other two commands...max fps and show fps in there as well (see below).

                            On really higher quality machines, you might have to look hard to notice any improvement. One way to confirm if it's working or not is to first start the game without the above tip and open up the console and type... com_unlock_maxfps 100 [ENTER], then type...com_showfps 1 [Enter] (0=don't show fps). Note your fps. Quit the game and do the above visual improvement tip, then run the console unlock maxfps and show fps commands. Your fps should drop if the renderer command works. (You must run the unlock maxfps command as this game by default limits all players at 30 fps).
                            I've also read (from different posts i'm seeing now in the forum) that the rumors were true. Seems as if the highest we're playing now is missing fetaures in the full game.

                              Also, some **** about heightmaps and normal maps being fused in the beta to save space, but to lower the quality was talked about in the forums. Someone got sneaky and took a look into the Paks.
