Key to Kills is tweaking

[Sir Reginald]

turn off shadows
turn off blur
just about turn off everything

so you can see

if winning and kills is the point
then tweaking is a most

Yeah, but you lose all immersion by playing a 1999 game
Graphics aren't that important, but blur effect, shadows and such stuff really add to the atmosphere.

There's another solution: wait for a real patch who fix optimization issues...
A game using Unreal 3 engine shouldn't be so laggy

If you could get beyond this " must have lots of kills " crap, you would enjoy the game far more

Blame Steam and the screenshot sharing system
"OMFG LULZ I killed moar bad guyz than you d00d"

I can put myself in the top score with all the things enabled. No need a windows 98 game to play well.

But, eh, maybe tripwire should add a patch that revert the graphics to the first unreal engine. So we will be all able to kill something. +1 frag per day of playing, hurrah !

(don't forget to paint walls in black and people in white).

A competitive game in which you gain an advantage by turning graphics down is faulty.

So everything since Quake 1 has been faulty?

Or you only play competitively on consoles? D)

That's why I was a top scorer on COD 1, back to these days when I was playing with a Pentium III, a Geforce 2 and 128 mb of RAM

I leave everything on, except for blur (which I turn off in all my games). Just my opinion but blur just reduces your vision too much (from getting hit in Killing Floor to simply running around as a Scout in TF2) so I leave it off. Not to mention the eye strain it gives you...

 

[Battle-B]

I don't get it... I quess I must be dumb.

I don't have any problems getting kills and I haven't disabled anything. Altough I am playing on medium settings because It tends to have graphics lag on higher for me.

Indeed, too bad most games are faulty...

i hate people that turn off graphics just because they see easily the enemy

I can't wait for the first game to lead the way by locking down graphics settings to a predetermined level for all players, hopefully it'll be this one :IS2:

The most important aspect of any game is a level playing field, no matter what some people's failing moral values might be telling them

I don't know about it helping get you "kills," but I did this plus up the brightness so that all the doorways weren't pitch black from a short distance away. I does help you discern details, but if you can't aim, you can't aim.

Aye I concurr.

This one, and +1 on OP.

Having fun and being competitive are not always mutually exclusive. I'm a competitive person, I get joy out of competing and of course even more joy out of winning.

I blame CS and the "pr0 g4mer" mentality.

RO isn't about kills anyway, it's about points and teamwork, and you get a *lot* more points by just being in a cap zone and helping your team. I usually end up near the top of the scoreboard at the end of a round, even playing with only a bolt and having not a lot of kills.
