In regards to the burning wreckage causing significant FPS drop, is that the case with the special effects in the AvA arena?  ( i understand apples to oranges here, but as a reference)

There's some really nice explosion effects that would appear to be an eye-candy drain on resources, but I never noticed any drop in FPS when guys were "dropping like flies" there...

obviously nobody wants the game to be unplayable, myself included. Balance isn't easy when opinions are involved.

Maybe not in the MA, but would make for some interesting screenshots in FSO or scenarios.....

End all be all = Does it add to the experience of the game without adding to the required hardware?

Bustr, am I out to left field or closein my assessment?

The effects should be in 3D and with sound and dirt dings on the windscreen.  :old:

p.s. water splashes and streaking drips.  :old:
