I wanna know who released those numbers, companys never give information on their finances, cite this please.

Russ posted the total amount in a tweet.

Today is Tuesday... (Oct. 16)

That is just cruel.

I call shenanigans! That isn't a screenshot, surely that's a 3DS max render or something...

Please PGI, tell me the hardware specs I need to get my game to look like that at 30+ FPS..

*drool*

I took the screenshot on my 2 year old work machine:

Very High Settings

• HP Z600
  
• Intel Xenon 2.67 GHz (8 Core)
  
• 6GB RAM
  
• AMD Radeon HD 6900

The screenshot features the new Forest Colony Snow map, Cicada and the camo spec system. The "skin" is the new base texture (olive drab), with 2 color channels changed to white and black, to recreate a winteresque camo pattern.

I've seen some youtube videos that show the game at very close to that level of quality while someone is FRAPSing it.Seems like you just need a few more horses under the hood.

[Edustaja]

Oh yeah! Can't wait to play that map

[DONTOR]

i went to bed at 5:00 am so i could wake up at 1:00 pm and have the CICADA I am really F***** sad right now
OMG I just looked at the release update and the Cicada was removed its not even under the Oct. 23 section, maybe its just a fluke or maybe thursday will be special. I seriously hope so.

Must be the 6900 then. I have 2x 5800's running in crossfire, and I only get 15-32 FPS on High in most games, and my system has better specs in every other way than what you listed. Time to upgrade. ;.;

Also, my game looks NOTHING like that. I mean, it's pretty, but that... That's crisp. it looks like a legit software render that took an hour to capture a single frame.

[Firesteel]

DO WANT! (But make sure it works as close to perfect as humanly possible )

[Decep-Qi-Kons]

Best shot yet!

[Banekane]

And here I thought I could remain faithful to my Jenner ...

Don't tempt me, PGI!

Also:


When I first read "alternate maps", I thought you were just going to add some nice weather effects like rain or mist, or perhaps give us different light conditions such as dusk or night. I did not expect a total makeover!

[Garamanus]

A new mech and camo options, keep up the good work!
The screen shot is fantastic.

[Mazaraz]

[kracked49]

Great! I like it a lot. It looks real cool.
