I think 1 image would be better than thousand words.

First screen - a corner from the "new" map Airfield from America's Army 3

Second screen - a shoot from mAAp Pipeline, America's Army 2.

Both screens taken at maximum quality, there's a difference in terms of screen resolution but as you can guess that Airfield terrain texture looks as vomit even at 1024x768.

Basically they've thrown in a couple meshes, ugly textures and no care for detail at all. While there are a few containers and some very small buildings to move along, the layout feels very straight. Interiors are barely fitted with any furniture. Last but not least, this map introduces AI and therefore a certain grade of Coop gameplay along with...respawning  . When you get incapacited and won't be able to move, you'll be able to choose if calling for a medic (and wait for him to get to you) or choose the "Medevac" option and basically you'll respawn, during the match, so you'll be able to keep on fighting no matter what O.o .

So, looking at those images Airfield still miss:
- a barely decent lighting;
- static mesh models that can actually resemble a game from 2009 and not one from early 2000.
- well, something that can make the map more realistic (it's officially described as an "abandoned airfield"). Abandoned doesn't sound as right as barely worked on.

I AGEE 100% SPANKY

question i know screen shots dont mean shit now a days with all the ss cleaners out there, but there might be stupid ass kiddies that dont use em,

where to get ss links for like chicken farm server and ht server, only 2 servers i really play on

we'll i try to only play on chicken farm since there more level headed admins like pit and zar

Are punkbuster screenshots effective? I don't recall of a cheater being caught for dirty screens. Most likely because there some ways to avoid Punkbuster taking a screenshot, returning a black frame. It's also relying on the admins that don't really check screenshots and player history no more.

Take care mate, i hope everything gets fixed.

Well I totally agree with you. My way to relax is not killing people but talk with em.

Oh god if it's true. I remember of you even talking alone cause no one was saying a word, a couple times

going from 550 to 560 is like 60 bux. Why is the 550 so bad?

Cause it's not worthy buying for its price to performance. It also depends on you screen, but if your screen offers a native resolution close or higher than 1680x1050, a 550 wouldn't be enough for some demanding games (if you want to turn the detail and graphic quality up while using antialiasing)

Seems interesting, sure i wouldn't get my fingers close to that cooler when it's rotating at 1500 rpm.

I agree with Koden. All manufacturers have bad products sometimes. Should we hate on Nvidia for the 4xx series being power hungry or for failing so hard with PhysX?

The 4xx series was somehow supposed (or maybe i should say advertised) to be the next step in general computing power from a graphic chip. I guess most of the people here are too young to know what Voodoo stands for, but heck in a decade quite a lot has changed.

For me one of the best chips among Nvidia production was the 9xxx gt series, in particular the 9600gt. Powerful yet not hungry at all.
