This is definitely the game to push me to hugely upgrade my rig.

You may be pleasantly surprised - it's Unreal 3.0 after all, and Epic did a great job of getting the engine to run on older hardware. You won't get maximum-shiny, but you may not have to spend your hard-earned cash just yet :)

I doubt that.... chances are they couldn't set it up for a large player base for the showing of the game, and this was probably the only game mode that would keep enough action going with such a small base of players..... playing Territory with 4-6 players would have been a ghost town and the map areas are generally larger and objectives further apart.

Actually, it has been said that the maps are customised for the number of players. It was said a long long time ago.

When I say customised I mean objectives are moved and sections of the map are cut off.

EDIT: Oh and by the way, TB has released his final Gamescom round-up video. He mentions a double developer commentary whilst TB plays, hopefully more of Adam calling people stupid gits.

In fact that was Alan and I trolling poor old TB there. Gotta say, it was a good way to unwind after a long, hard week. :)

Incidentally, my nephew and niece are both Swedish and I love them dearly so please don't get too upset with any of my comments, Swedish people.

Malmo FF ftw :D

Watching it now, the trolling is relentless.

They said it was pretty GPU heavy though

My understanding is you can turn down the graphics quite a bit, for preformance on older machines, but if you gotta beast, you can really turn it up and make it shine.

I have ran plenty of Unreal 3 games maxed on a 5770, and RO2 looks worse or on par than some of them. A 5770 is hardly high end, not overclocked or anything either.

I have honestly no idea myself, just heard the devs say that it's especially a GPU game, not CPU.

http://forums.tripwireinteractive.c...ing a part, make it the GPU (and a 64 bit OS)"As I've seen this come up a few times. RO 2 is mostly a GPU bound game. So if your are going to focus your efforts in upgrading a part, make it the GPU (and a 64 bit OS) " - Yoshiro

Looks like it's only the commander and squad leaders have has grenades in these videos. I wonder if that is only for countdown or in all game modes.

Sorry for bumping this, but after seeing the first part of TB's commentary, I am really confused.

Alan was talking about the honor system and progression like it's one and the same thing, was he just mixing them up or is it indeed more intertwined than previously stated?

I always thought the honor was completely independant of progression and was to punish tk-ers and such. And the progression in ranks is by regular score points in a match.

I am sad that the old class menu is gone :(
I liked being able to read some backround info about the class I wanted to play, it was a nice touch imo.
