The game is gorgeous even with default settings, I for one really enjoy the sounds (especially when planes explode 100' in front of me), and (it may be placebo) but I feel like my 50's have more oomph (if it's placebo don't ruin it, darn it! It also might just be that I can't see most hit sprites so I think a few 50's are shredding something when really it is just the same).
It was great to see 90 people on when I showed up this evening. WTG HTC
