CCP probably started nerfing it over concerns that they'd start melting some PS3's and now they're in it for the next 3 years with terrible rendering.
Know how I know? No official word = nothing good to say.
Swarm's range nerfed. Sounds fair enough. Except its the same range, outside of which, they would render invisible+silent. Meanwhile non-rendered rail-tanks will still gib DS from 600 meters away.. .
CCP is actually now balancing game-play mechanics around gimped hardware specs for the long term. Is this good? I can't say I think it is.
There will continue to be no comment on the subject, optimization can only go so far and they've reached the limit already.
What we see in 1.7 will likely be the standard till PS4. I only hope they can re-balance the game properly when things start working on PS4 - if Dust is still around by then.
But we're looking at 3 years till that anyhow so what's the point in caring? |

They made a decision to go for shiny graphics instead of good gameplay.
Many other developers have made the same choice, and CCP should have looked at them for examples of how well that turned out.
Mario 64, Zelda, and Mario Cart are still some of the best games to play. Gfx is a short term gimmick anymore.
Granted, to have both is good, but knowing the limitations on PS3 it shouldn't have gone this way.

It's intentional, little turret don't have the problem, snipers, and infantry in general have a better rendering than vehicle pilots.
It's clearly an intended cut on rendering distance for vehicle players, it's a nerf, nothing more and nothing less.
Probably has to do with the speed of movement + rendering distances.
Dropships will never again see the infantry they are flying to pick up or fire at. |
