build 163 gave me 20 ADDITIONAL FPS

rook2pawn

i run at very low resolution and went from 90 FPS to around 110-120FPS.

Insanely silky smooth.

Kudos to the dev team. This stuff mattesr to me and the public opinion.. Thank you thank you.

SolidSpider

Wow, way back in the day?

SUPER_SARS

Build 163?

Posted 2 hours ago??

What is going on, is the time space continuum breaking apart finally?!

Benson

Ah typos, making the internet misunderstood since the 80's

AurOn2

I think it gave me an aditional 20 fps too. up from 2. but i can't remember.

OnosFactory

Amen!

RejZoR

Lost 25. WTF!? Just managed to bump from old 80 to 100 with overclocking my gfx card and then Dropship update comes and eats 25fps where it should increase it. I just don't get them...

coolitic

I assume you mean 263? =D

xen32

Yea, that was one cool patch, they introduced gameplay in 163.

I still remember downloading the engine test and shooting dummies at 20-40 fps. I miss the helicopter rifle in a lot of ways (from its sound).

Also, i actually liked it when simon ramped up the rifle sound for tiers of upgrades.

I miss the way the infestation worked and the whip walk animation

Vengaboy

LOL that whip walk. why was that ever removed?

Nordic

Gorges creating infestation with heal spray. My echo'd whips want that back.

Frozen

That's cool, 261 made the game unplayable for me and it hasn't become any better

ns2isgood

This was the most glorious update for me. Got a much needed gain in performance and can actually play at a respectable resolution of 1600x900 with some eye candy on. My favorite part was the shade optimization that might have been because of my thread. Probably not, but it feels good to think they listen to us.

Donated $10 to show some appreciation.

That old whip walking animation is awesome hahaha. Whats with the current animation? They kinda just seem to float, I always thought it seemed unrealistic

Damn that was an entirely different game back then. Did you look at that minimap?

MuckyMcFly

blimey that's a blast from the past. Ah, the classic grenade attachment. Must look for a lerk bilebomb video.

AurOn2

Look at ALL The old videos. damn is it worth it.

Obraxis

We all have our criticisms of the game, including myself. But often due to the incremental nature of game development, we forget just how much work has gone into the game and made it so much better. It's almost unrecognisable from those early vids.

MuckyMcFly

I agree @Obraxis. From the Alpha, shooting the cardboard dummies to now you wouldn't think it was same game at all.

Soul_Rider

For me the difference between the last beta build, and the game that was sprung on us as the release version was a massive jump too. The beta was so much fun, but I think definitely for some people it took away the ability to see what had been produced over time, as we had been playing for too long

0:44 That GL. Revert back. REVERT BACK!
