I've been running with everything highest, except 2x AA/AF. I've crashed a couple times, but not that many, and I very rarely get slowdown.

Everything on high and it plays fine. :P
My one gripe is the fact that the units feel the same with only cosmetic differences between factions.
I dont know if it has to do with graphical settings or what, but before going to bed last night I got in one last match. Towards the end of the match a nuke was launched just behind the supermarket, it flattened the trees and leveled the building, pretty impressive really.
Be so much better if they said "Anti-Air at Gas Station" since they manage to use the name of the point in the voice files.
Just like that other guy who posted, my "completed" file is 1.72 gigs and corrupt or just plain shit or whatever the fuck is wrong with it.
Maybe it's just an NVIDIA thing. Something's broken, though the massgate forums indicate it's fixed in the next patch.
Or maybe you're a faggot who should pay more attention to your IMs.
Press Q.

Hmm, more widespread than I thought. I'm not a Vista user, but is it some sort of compatability issue I've managed to miss? I'm running it manually rather than from the Download Manager but it only flashes up a DOS prompt for half a second.
Usually I rush my first coptors (2 heavies 1 medium) to one of the early points for the other team and gamble on them not having AA. By the time my first coptors get wiped out I put down 2 heavies and 2 mediums and then apply firepower to enemy artillery or enemy tanks trying to capture points
then i get high scores~
Yea, imagine how frustrating it is for armor when helos show up. About the only thing you can do is pop smoke and call in an air to air strike if you have enough points.
I ran up against a clan of folks and we lost continuously (before I abandoned the server) in literally like 2 minutes.
I also ran into a group in another server (all pubbies, but they were following each other's directions) that played infantry only and they destroyed mixed forces easily.
I'm sure there is a counter for this, but I haven't found it yet.
I've mastered the art of Infantry and Armour at the moment, not sure if I want to learn Support/Air because I prefer to take and hold the command points. Armour was actually tricky and seemed underpowered until I learned that the name of the Armour game is to blitzkrieg, essentially just run through and take the command points as fast as you can, don't sit around to fortify them, when you take one set of points, head to the next, and try not to get drawn into a long firefight unless you're striking at the enemy's backdoor artillery units.
So awesome.
Ah HA. I would sit to fortify points (by the way, I'm starting to think fortifying them is pretty worthless as the fortifications get destroyed with impunity at range) then get destroyed by air or artillery barrages. I see.
I am pretty good at Air, decent at infantry, but couldn't figure out armor.
I like it a LOT because it's an RTS game with FPS length rounds, which is a HUGE bonus for me right now.
And ToyD, Infantry's greatest weakness is to support, specifically, artillery. A couple of good artillery players can keep infantry dead or bunkered up and immobile whilst the rest of your team grab the precious points.
This is the exact same thing I was thinking this morning on my way into work, it drops a lot of the grind out of extracted rts play. I'm loving not having to deal with resource gathering.
The way that works best in my opinion is the armor blitzes forward to take points while the infantry are the ones that garrison and defend them.
How do you go about creating a clan?
Am I screwed?
EDIT: Actually I might know a guy who has an extra key. Let me ask him.
I use a Nvidia 7900 GTX (512). It's just you. :P
I tend to team up with my friend enzo and we both go armor, he favors the heavy and i favor the medium, and we hit both points and fortify them both. Yes it can seem pointless to do it, but you get extra TA points and those forts do some pretty good damage to their intended prey. Last night on the beach there was a tank that got stuck playing pickle between the two points which both had Anti Tank bases, tore him apart very quickly.
Trust me, it's not. A lot of people are having issues. Massgate's "rule of thumb" for the beta is 128MB cards on low, 256MB on medium, and 512MB on high. However, there are people with 512MB and even 768MB cards getting the "Boom" crashes. Mine does it without fail if I have it set to high, and I get a VRAM_OVERLOAD counter. There's an issue, you're just lucky enough not to have ran into it yet.
A few people have ATI cards anyway, so that's ruled out.
I always get the Vram overload thing, but have only crashed like... twice, having played for many, many hours.

Edit: Holy smokes, it says my highest points in a match is 2036, that must mean it scores points after the final scoreboard shows up! Woo!
