The Frostbite 2 engine is really impressive... Dice released some presentations and it's really top notch...

On top of their inhouse R&D, they licensed a couple of third-party middlewares for character animation and global illumination.

It also supports streaming and destrutible environment (including terrain and whole buildings, unlike Bad company as it seems).

I wonder how moddable it may be (or even if there will be an SDK or mod kit or whatever in that respect), but since UDK and soon Cryengine will be both offering free versions of their engines, it may very well be that Dice does the same...

The game looks great, but this action sequence really was an irrealistic crap.:plain:

[nodunit 397]

Legendary stuff, Nod. :) Now, if you were to make an M1A1 AIM variant... say, with two different Aussie paint jobs, well... :cool:

All things in time but that tank is definately my next focus.

Back on topic..that whole COD clone line is getting less and less thin the more single player action they release, the infamous slow down shot being the most promiment example..which is a shame really, it could be an intense moment, a quick shot that needs to hit it's target..instead they slow it down which to me feels more like the gaming holding the players hand.

Also what is with the blobby SSAO that surrounds the characters arm, who chose the art direction, please tell me multiplayer won't look like this.

I think it's funny how the "arcade shooter" can accurately model the round left in the chamber on the tactical (non-empty) reload of a closed-bolt weapon (e.g., M4), but our beloved simulation cannot.

That has annoyed me since the day I started playing this series :(

Games for Windows

[SteveJA 12]

Thanks for the wonderfull repies :cool:

What i really wanted to know is what is your opinion on it?

Is it like steam where you have to have it running all the time?

Is it a resource hogger

That kind of thing.

no dude, M$ is just trying to make games for windows plug and play, similar to their beloved xbox.

In order to be certified by them with the great of honor of Games for Windows, you need to meet some requirements:

1. achievements (similar to consoles, even if they don't unlock stuff for you like COD & co)

2. some auto-adjusting for visual, where even 2 brain cells lads are considered, so it does it all for you

3. and some other stuff which i don't remember atm...the typical user friendliness bullshit M$ spreads

if you care to read the wiki page, it covers that as well

In case of catastrophe, there's always lifeless dll to ease your pain. It works for GTA4 at least.

[CameronMcDonald 146]

The team responsible for G4W should be dragged outside and shot, then hung.

I can't stand that achievementy-running-in-the-backgroundy-user-profile-piccy-chatty bullshit. Especially achievements. I'll play the game the way I damn well want to, none of this "kill 60 d00dz with an airstomp after powerkicking a car into a fire hydrant" rubbish.

Then simply don't do it, it is just that easy. :rolleyes:

note that's probably GFWL (Games for Windows Live) what You speak about

GFW (Games for Window) is set of certain rules which game must meet to obtain certification and can use the logo
