New terrain looks a lot better, not so bright and cartoony.
I suspect the framerates will improve with optimization but it could just be that there weren't that many rendered by the time the screenshots were taken since they're averaged out over the number of frames. Initial rendering always drops the framerate when first entering the world until the memory caches are filled up.
Hopefully the new engine's shadow rendering doesn't cause tree flicker this time around.
I'd love to hear the new sound engine in action too as the old one really didn't capture 3D positioning and occlusion that well imho, beyond the obvious problems of dropouts in MP.
