I'm not looking for things to bitch at....if they show us screenies with less average fps and lesser quality textures...I guess that makes you happy? I guess we will see when the patch comes out. Probably would have been wise to leave the framerate counter off in this case if they knew people would see the lower numbers.

Afraid to say I am greatly underwhelmed, again

Lesser quality equals a nearly playable frame rate, pathetic really especially as lots of people spent hard earned money upgrading to what where (only a short time ago) top end PC's
as the old 'recommended' specs proved massively under stated and they/we still can't get a decent FPS unless we spend hundreds more £/$'s on yet more hardware.

And still no word on making the Channel Map (the centre peice of this game) usable in coop mode, another huge let down.

only for the whinge then to be "they're not showing the frame rate... what are they trying to hide?"

absolutely pathetic

You can please all of the people some of the time.
You can please some of the people all of the time.
There are some people on the banana forum you can never please. At all. Ever.

BlackSix has told us they have made some improvements. He tried to demonstrate that with a few screenshots we now know were made under very specific circumstances which are unlikely to apply to most of the 100+ different PC specs out there never mind the widly differing game setings. Perhaps he should just have stuck to the words to avoid all the speculative crossfire.

So why not wait until you have the patch on your PC and have tested it before getting out of your prams to complain about it. Don't worry, I'll be the first to complain if I don't like it. When I've seen it.

+1 Its time they really got the ban hammer out, these guys are not going to stop and its ruining the community!

The only fault on this update is, that they have forgot to give us the systemspecs. of the test PC! Maybe that stopped the discusion before it starts!
I think it's a 2 core PC or worse with an older graphicscard! In this case the fps isn't such bad!
But let us wait and see....!

This forum should be set up with a corner that provides mandantory psychological treatment...

In all fairness, the "other" side is doing the same thing by saying "woohoooo, thaaaaanks, wow, 50% higher fps" etc, for a patch they have not yet seen. They still dont even know when they get to see the patch and thats not because the lack of promises mind you (read overdue). The "track record" if you will, should speak against any and all superlatives until claims are thoroughly proven, but, and this astonishes even me, it doesn't. It astonishes me despite the fact that i count myself into the "others" (well, maby not so much lately due to the track record thingy i mentioned earlier) and even i, any more, don't get all giddy for essentially nothing. Dont get me wrong, maby they v done something ground breaking but those screens say absolutely nothing either way. So, imo, its all talk until proven otherwise, just like it should be for everybodyelse if you really think about it in a calm relaxed manner.

Different side of the same coin and im for one is sick of the coin itself and what brought it here in the first place. And no, im not talking about the forum and its members.

Hit the nail on the head.

At least no-one can genuinely say they (devs) aren't being honest

and cop the "what are they (devs) hiding by not showing it?" crud that some would come out with? ?

crikey, there would be no trouble getting a dummy spitting team together here

Spot On

Agreed 100%

The only thing worse than whining is pre-whining
