Price point is probably the most important thing to consider. There are tons of options within different price brackets, and you'll never get the right answer unless you give an approximation of what you want to spend. Another important thing to consider is your screen resolution, in addition to your internal system specs. The 9800GTX+ is a little dated now, surpassed by the 200 series from Nvidia and both the 4000 and 5000 series from AMD/ATI. In order to give some advice, I'll assumed you want a card in the mid range of both company's lineups. Nvidia's new series has been delayed, so you are looking at a GTX 260 from Nvidia, not very many worthwhile options unless you move up the price brackets. There are a plethora of options from AMD, depending on what features you want. The 5770/5750 are low power cards from the new 5000 series, with DirectX 11 support. There are the 4890s, which are the leftover mid/high end cards from the 4000 series that offer slightly increased performance over the 5770s, but without DirectX 11 support and low power features. The final option is the 4770, the 5770s little brother. Low power and the least performance, but also the smallest price tag. If you want more information, I'll be happy to point you toward some good review sites.

I wasn't having that big of a problem with lag unless you consider the planes or Battle Armors. Its hard enough to hit those little things without them warping all over the place. Same with planes, considering once they get into rage, they are too high for you to see. Good to see them working on high priority things though.

Excellent info Zath. I figured some of this out myself, but a full list will really help and reduce the dice rolling with mech varieties.

Thanks Dai, this will be a huge help.

I play when its not crashing on me.

Downloaded and played through a couple of rounds. Crashed the first time when trying to do the "Quick Match" option. Crashed a second time after a round ended. I'm not sure how gameplay is compared to the originals, since I never really played them, but it is fun. Final opinion will come after a few more versions of the beta come that will iron the bugs

Durka has dealt with this

I'll be on for essentially the rest of the day if anyone is interesting

4.08m at the moment i could upgrade to 4.09m but the only server that I play on is 4.08m. Doesnt really matter to me.

I've gotten back to flying in IL2 as of late and was wondering if anyone wished to join me. I will be around at this weekend if anyone wants to play.

People still play Zero Hour? If anyone wants to play, preferably Generals, I wouldn't mind being completely owned by someone.

I have it, average at best. I gave up trying to customize the thing months ago.

Smoking kills

For glory, FOR SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be there

Ground Branch is, in realistic terms, dead in the water. The lead dev has taken work in another studio and only works on GB in his spare time, if I recall correctly. The staffers are leaving/left to take on real jobs because they couldn't find money to make the studio work. Don't except GB in the next 4-5 years if you ask me.

I won't sign that petition to get a game with dedicated servers. If those devs are willing to kill a guaranteed blockbuster title, I'm not interested in supporting them, regardless of if they give us what we deserved in the first place. Give me a developer that is happy to create something that is pc-centric in at least some areas and they will get my money.

Well IW definitely just lost a sale, but if what Viiiper says is true, Codemasters may have gained one.

Sometimes I think that is a real possibility.

Someone try to tell me that this paper isn't of practical value.

We have things to do, we are just good at finding important topics that need our attention. Zombies are a real problem. Just read the paper and you'll understand.

If anyone is still playing this, I'll go look out at picking up a copy again.

Sadly its true. Doesn't take away from what the game could still be. Here's to hoping.

Baby mode means that the developers spent valuable time implementing another game mode that moves away from the traditional OFP style of play. So instead of refining the game I was expecting to play, they are making another mode to grab a bigger audience.

That hit indicator is a bit of a disappointment

I'd like to bump this idea one last time to see if we can get some more ideas flowing. I would love to see this happen and am willing to help organize if need be.
