Okay that sounds retarded.

Will give it a shot later, though.

Yeah, no effect. Game looks amazing though.

My FPS jut got worse haha  :)

Try setting render distance to 500 or something. Won't be good for flying but should be OK for everything else.

I disagree, having played NC and TR (and yes, I dabbled in VS) I can safely say that VS is by far the most over powered faction in the entire game.  As NC I have no issue killing TR and vice versa, however VS is an entirely different story in its own as they have vacuum cleaners that shoot lasers with no recoil or drop at all.  Their aircraft, tank and small arms are amazingly better than NC's or TR's statistically.  The downside is that everyone in VS bitches about how under powered they are (kind of like two handers in cRPG) and the developers listen to them and make them better, which in turn shits on NC and TR.

tl;dr VS is op as shit

I have the exact opposite impression, i find the Vanu guns to have very shit damage and overall poor performance at close range. They do destroy stuff at medium-long distance, though.

I find the NC weapons to be the most OP personally, anyone with a little bit of skill makes better use of weapons with more damage but less speed and smaller mags.

But honestly the game seems to have very good balance overall. Furthermore, unlockable small arms cost a ton without giving enormous advantages (the 4th attachment slot is cool, but not really worth the 1100 certs it's going to cost you).

Thats the point.

Also, having never played PS1 and exclusively played NC since launch... I tried out TR with some other buddies of mine. Holy crap! Your guns are accurate as shit sideways with a tiny amount of recoil in comparison. You guys also get off 2-3 bullets for every one NC shoots. No wonder I sometimes get sniped by a LMG from across a tile.

Then people are like "Yo dawg, TR aren't supposed to be accurate. Thats Vanu's job." I now only wonder how Vanu does not simply steamroll the shit out of everyone all the time. Their magriders are dickbeans. (How many times have you missed the rocket that goes under their tank.) Their rifles are (still havent tested, so supposedly) pinpoint accurate with no drop. Also, on every server I have played on (3 different groups of friends = 3 different servers. fml ) they dominate the air. Not saying scythe OP, just that Vanu have a bigger air zerg then everyone else.

Tempting to roll a Vanu myself simply to enjoy what sounds like complete OP'ness. But 4 characters...

Edit: I also tried that low fps thing on my computer, it didn't do anything...I have similar specs than him, 550x instead of 560, and my fps didn't move. No fairs.

Actually the whole three factions remind me of Command & Conquer so much.

Terrans are like NOD, Red/Black, mobility/fire rate over firepower and heavy armor,

NC are like GDI, Heavy armor and heavy firepower, even got the blue/yellow colors nailed.

Finally Vanu are like the Scrin, Purple-ish and the successful Vanu tactic I've seen reminds me of alien/zerg mentality a lot, magriders and scythe zergrush everywhere.

In all my playtime, I've seen a lot more TR zergs than any other, especially the convoys towards NC territory in the far east of Indar. Of course I play TR myself so that's not very surprising.
