Very pretty.  Let's hope the narrator's report of FPS improving or at least staying the same is accurate.

Also:

GRRRAAAAAAGAEE!!  Y U MAKE GAME PRETTY AND NOT FIX WHAT I COMPLAIN ABOUT111!!

There, I got it out of the way.  No need for dozens of others to say it :)

Arctic Region... *Pukes rainbows*

Now Maus players will really have something to look forward to when they push their enemies off cliffs.

Wow ! it really looks awesome! great job WG :Smile_Default:

Things ive noticed

- enviromental fog scattering
- bloom
- HDR
- new shadows

And the fact that the performance will be better than the actual maps, its great news! was quite worried about that. Does this means we get multi-core support?

The updates look amazing...can't wait to try it out. The 'casualness' of the narration seemed forced though, but made for a good laugh.

I see WG is saving money by reanimating corpses and putting a microphone in front of them for their voice overs now.

wow, Im glad the dev team took notice of my post that I did a while back about upping the graphics detail, keep them coming!  Im currently running everything on max and Im getting 100fps on my gtx 580.  I hope that the new physics will involve haveing the independent suspension to move freely.

More focus on the physics would have been nice, most of this stuff was just the cosmetics. Only a teaser about pushing but we didn't see anything actually drop off an edge.  Looks good though.
