Infiltration needs better plant life, flat out... It would pump up the realism like mad nuts. Foliage effects are now sub-par after the release of Ghost Recon... 
We should have better trees

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Don't you mean a better engine?
Seriously, for super-low poly (and I do mean SUPER-LOW) trees and plant life, I've got to hand it to the team.
Have you walked through the bushes in research site? Uhg it really tears up your framerate. Once they move to the next unreal engine this problem should be remedied. Until then, I think that it'd be better for the team to focus on gameplay (which they are finally doing. yay! )

The trees funkstylz used in the updated version of Kosovo are grest as well.. we just need more of em.
DOes anyone now what kind of hardware someone will need to achieve at least 30 fps average for the new unreal engine?
Anyone with a GeForce series card, and a pentuim 450+ will have O.K. to Excellent preformance. Unreal 2 has an advanced sytem for handling polys in large amounts. While UT didn't drop some un-needed coding stuff from Unreal, Unreal 2 dropped the un needed stuff from UT, and other prediscessors (sp?). Unreal 2 while rock our world.
GNAT, I don't think they would release a game for such strict hardware requirements. Only a small precentage of the gaming community has the hyped up stuff like GF3s and the like. Why not use newer and better techniques for programing (which I think they are probably using from reading a preview) and get a large chunk of the gaming community too buy, cause it is revolutionary ****, EVERY one's gunna want some. Meaning a huge profit.
Chances are they'll assume the game will come out late enough that most people would have that kind of stuff.
Unfortunately it still results in some relatively sloppy code.

Unreal and Unreal Tournament were written in a day when most people didn't have 3d accelerators; thus, it was written with software rendering in mind so as it would be playable by people on modestly equiped systems. As a consequence to this, the rendering engine still uses the cpu for transformations quite a bit. This is the major slow down with high poly counts. With the new warfare engine, software rendering was thrown out in favor of hardware acceleration. This will allow major increases in speed and poly counts even on midrange geforce2 cards since all transformations are done in hardware.

I remember playing UT on a 200mhz
Looked Pretty Good
Well for a 200mhz
The Next Unreal Will be designed for the sweet 3d acceloraters we have now
Then We will have people hugging the new trees while we want to throw nades at them

You mean I will have more FPS with the U2 engine than the UT engine? By goly that would be fuc'king awsome!
but those slack fps might be taken up with better eye candy and more of it
I just retired my 266 inf machine for an nforce msi mobo.
theres so much power to spare in this thing, nothings really pushing the chips to their fullest now
so I expect the next set of games are probly going to go nuts graphics wise. every programmer will try to abuse this hardware power.
sometimes upgrades force the games, more times games force the upgrades :/

RAZZ: we hear you man. I'm working on pushing my Dual Athlon XP 1700 / Geforce3 system to it's limits. I've got a 100% in hardware level of detail deformation and skeletal system that I'm working on right now.
I can't wait until a few years down the road when us programmers are allowed to write code that REQUIRES fragment shadders. God I'm sick of the fixed T&L engine...

if u use openGL mode, there is no framerate drop on research site, or even when zoom all the way out above the map when your dead
