be nice but:
1: frame rate would suck, not many people have a really good video card
2: they would have to up monthly fee to pay for it.
-
lol the game that ss is from is only a 1 time payment of $19.95
-
do that and half the playerbase (including me) wont be able to run the game. i only get 25 frames as it is, and 5 if a mossie gets within d800 of me.

DPQ5,
I am getting pretty sick of seeing your fanboism about Red Orchestra.
Aces High is first and formost a flight combat game. You cannot have ground detail like that in a flight combat game on today's consumer computers and still have a useful view range.
If you really want to play Red Orchestra, please do so, but stop trying to turn AH in Red Orchastra.
-
In all honesty, the only thing from that SS that looks better than currently possible in AH is the Tiger Tank and the reflection from the water. As it is the Tiger Tank we have in AH is an AH1 shape, and is due for a new object in the future. The trees and buildings in AH look better. the cloud/fog affects are possible in AH right now, just HTC does not change weather settings in the main arenas.
-
From the Red Orchestra website.
Crew 14 fully realized vehicles with highly detailed exterior and interior models
Choose from 28 authentic infantry weapons
Full 32 player online Multiplayer Support
Wow 32 WHOLE player online miltiplayer? HTC better bow down to this holy game. An 14 leet vehicles? WOW, just WOW.
wheres my old rolleyes smily?
-
well 32 player on line is useually more then you get in the early or mid arenas :
-

same here, but its not mossi's and its not 5, it Lancs and Ju88's and its like 2 for a frame rate. also i cant give this up, id have to start a war with mom to get a new video card if the graphics wer updated to look like that.
-
Find a job...
-
i play that game it is awsome it is realy realistic and it doesnt have a bad frame rate acualy
-
...Then you may buy me the updated hardware I need. Sorry bud, AH is good enough for what it is. HTC is reasonable when it comes to lower end computers/internet connections. I'm running on a four year old machine and have had dial-up internet for ages. DSL is just now making it out here in onion country sometime this summer.
-
There is a big difference between a high end boxed game, and a Online one in terms of what is possible.
Both in terms of what computer is required to run it, and the networking requirements.
Boxed games also have BIG development teams with big money behind them.
They need to make big bucks to pay for all that.
For 2010 I would like to see AH3.
Slightly updated graphics, but REAL water, with subs, player controllable destroyers, E boats, etc.
Flying Boats, recon planes, sub hunters, the works.
Thats what I'd "like" to see for 2010. But if I don't get it I'll still be happy flying here in AH.
Because there is always something new to learn, always new hills to climb in search of new vistas.

The texture res is higher, or repeated more often and the terrain and scenery has many, many, many more polygons than AH.
-
WOW, just WOW.wheres my old rolleyes smily?
No Larry.... that is a different game. No planes involved in that one! :rofl
-
It would be nice to one day have graphics that nice. Reflective water and Hi res grass.
But like many said, not every one's computer can run it. I know one of mine can. My laptop was built to play games and has a nice graphics card. But not every one has my laptop or nice graphics cards. My other computer can run AH but only with the graphics settings set low.
And making that high quality graphics would take forever to make.
But I would not mind having Hi res, but we will have to wait for some thing like that. If HTC did add those graphics, there could be a setting fo those who have higher end graphic cards to have these settings. But then have them off for the lower end graphic cards.
-
At least he didn't post an Oblivion screenshot. I can just picture the tankers' video cards exploding trying to render THAT much detail. :D

Sarcasm Sketch :aok
Just like every other boxed game the graphics are great but when you go online its little servers that can only hole 16/32 players.
As everyone else said its a ground game. Thats why the ground textures look good, but I can bet the sky is just a picture and it never changes.

ARAD

I used to have the game until steam screwed me over. The 16 v 16 teams were perfect for the maps offering a good balance of vehicles and infantry tactics.
-
yep trotter thats from arad
-
and just saying 3!
-
Does it look like the tiger is floating above the ground to anyone else?
-
actualy servers of 62 hehehe

Could you imagine AHII with that level of detail? It would verily rock, but damn if you didn't have an uber supercomputer your FR's would be running in the negative :lol

I'll never get the "My frame rates will go to crap so no one else can have it!" Crowd.
Ever hear of a detail level slider?
They have been making some recent improvements. I hope it keeps right on going.
-
I have no issue with graphic details, the more the better, my new system should be able to deal with whatever HT can dream up. Many others may not and that would surely suck :(
-
i have red orchestra :D
and if ur into gv's + ground troops+ airsupport (notflying plane at same time)+gafix newb + like 15+ shooting tanks with BAZ00KAS+ troops transports transporting other players+ a tank driver with someone else in the gun this is the game 4 u

Sweet grammar.

I play AH on the lowest graphics setting and I still freeze up after 4 flights cuz of a sucky graphics card, I dont really feel like spending $150 on a card that can support graphics like in R.O.

You're welcome.

I doubt it would cost even 100 to get a card for that game, 8880's only for for 200 anymore.

I was at the store a month or 2 ago and saw a low end card that would work for about $95.

what have i started :(

I agree. If you like red orchestra so much quit this game and stop spamming the BBS with it. HTC makes the graphics look the way they do so they can appeal to people that don't have the best computers or the best video cards. He's thinking about the gamers , not the lame eye candy of R.O or IL2 that apples to only a certain amount of people.
-
no like 1l2
-
Disagree with you on lame eye candy in IL-2, Vans. Unfortunately, Il-2 is like your stereotypical blonde-joke secretary: Fun to look at and take out on a romp now and then, but nothing going on between the ears to make her company worthwhile.

So... whats your point?

you probably don't care, but that's "appeals", not apples.

oops

I'd be crashing too much due to looking at all the scenery :aok
-
I've taken a look at some of the the hi-res screen shots on site. IMO, in addition to being the best-thought out and engineered combat flight-sim, the planes look pretty darn sweet for anybody with the system to run at high settings. :aok
The hedge-rows and windmills and what have you also look good, a little variety in color might make the terrain a little more pleasant and not hit the system requirements too much...some muddied battlefields, yellow wheat, grey crags, snow-covered peaks, that sort of thing.
-
I have never played R.O but I would LOVE to have AH with that level of detail... Better graphics with great gameplay = great immersion... You guys need to quit jumping down everyones throat when they ask for real improvements... get out of 1998.
-

Yup.
-

I agre with you on that. And yes this would be nice to have graphics like that. But I dont think that my computer can run that. I have a good 1 1/2 year old dell laptop set up to play games, and still that would be to much.
Now if they mad the jump over to consoles (XBox, PS3 Wii) then you could have that quality. But I dont see that happening any time soon. But maybe one day.....

Pretty much agree. That being said, you'd be hard pressed to find a better tank experience than RO, inf for that matter as well. We have a full server 2 times a week, and it never seems to get old. Lost of fun for 20 bucks. YMMV
