8x AA is more than enough, actually anything over 4x is. If you notice jaggies with 4x AA on then you're not actually playing a game. It's a scam because it's going to lure people into buying NVIDIA cards because they think they need this super duper ultimate AA.
There is some site floating around that tells you what you need for all the unlocks and awards, but it's pretty inaccurate for the awards. It says you need something like 4,000 hours (just shy of a half year) of global play time in a tank to get the highest tank award.
Auto updates are a good thing for a few reasons. For one, you don't have to wait in line to download. Now I realize some people try to be "hardcore" and pretend they'd rather wait in line to download or download at a slower rate, but in reality this is beneficial to everyone. Secondly, having...
Let's just say you had to be there. I've had plenty of gaming experience in pubs and leagues and I can tell the difference between skill players and cheaters. He was obviously cheating.
To make a map you need to download the SDK off of Steam, and that's all you really need. You can use photoshop to make the textures. Modeling is nowhere nearly the same as mapping and if you're only interested in mapping just do that, don't waste your time making models.
I enjoyed the game too, but I think that's because it was ahead of its time. When compared to modern FPSs (as this will) it won't be nearly as popular nor seem as good.
I don't think it will mean much for Valve, it's just a way for them to sell boxed copies. They don't need EA's money to develop future games so EA won't be able to push them to meet a deadline. I'm sure somewhere in the contract it states that EA can't try to rush game development.

Some people play every day all day. The top guy has racked up 35,000 points in a month, and I'm sure the rate at which he'll get points will just increase.
I hate to break it to you, but you're going to be waiting forever for a game you want. You can only do so much with FPSs. Just about everything that can be done has been done, although small elements can be added to make it different.
It's designed for casual gamers more than anyone. Hardcore gamers will unlock everything in 2-3 months, whereas for everyone else it will be 2-3 years.
That's the point. Since unlocks are not competitive or anything (meaning people with a higher rank get more unlocks and stats would be updated/purged weekly or something) the game has to be designed so that you can always be working towards something for quite a long time.
What do you think people are saying about you when you complain about being TKed in pubs and think pub accomplishments mean something?
You don't want to know.
The entire competitive CS community and I are wrong? Sorry, but no. If you practice with the deagle you would quickly find out it's better. You might think the other guns are better but they're not. Maybe you did good with them once and now you think they're good - you can do good with any...
The UAV is not that precise. How would you account for when someone kept coming around the corner firing and I blew the UAV up? He even did that to me when I had been sitting still not moving for about 3 minutes while I was eating (in a remote spot where nobody goes).
See, the thing is... it doesn't matter what you or I think, as we represent a very small portion of the market. What matters is what the ignorant masses think, and to them if they see ATI lacking in this feature (even if they don't intend to buy it) they will begin to think ATI is inferior...
That's unlikely. Falling behind in technology and seeming like a generic brand is a lot more damaging than letting NVIDIA know what you are planning (which they did by announcing it). It's not like NVIDIA could copy even if they knew even more, because of patents. Anyways, if they had a...
The deagle IS better. It has nothing to do with price and everything to do with power. You can't kill people as quickly with the other pisols. If the other pistols were better they would be used in matches, but they're not. A lot of people play way too much and there's too much money on the...
BFG seems to have decent support. When people have had issues with their support and posted on here some dude from BFG replied and corrected the situation ASAP. I've never heard of any true horror stories regarding BFG.
